CHARGING A BATTERY WITH A SOLAR PANEL?
Feb 4th
Question by Conrad:
Charging a battery with a solar panel?
I have a boat with an automatic bilge pump, and I want to hook up my battery ( 12 volt deep cycle marine) to a solar panel so that it maintains its charge when the bilge pump kicks on, the bilge pump will only kick on when it rains. I want to know what minimum specs the solar panel should have to maintain my batteries charge. The bilge pump will likely only run for an hour or two a week at most. Thanks in advance for the help.

I HAVE A SOLAR PANEL AND WANT TO CONNECT IT TO A BATTERY THAT CHARGES VIA A NORMAL 115V AC OUTLET?
Dec 21st
Question by :
i have a solar panel and want to connect it to a battery that charges via a normal 115V AC outlet?
the solar panel has two alligator clamps (like jumper cables) at the end, I guess to charge a battery.
I guess I need some device I can hook the alligator clamps to that has a 115V plug on the other end I can plug the battery charger into?
Is there more to it than that?

Question by Markos L:
Can i charge a lead acid battery with solar panel?
I own a sunlight 12v 7.2ah battery and i was wondering if i could charge it using a solar panel. I will be on the field for a long time and a nice solution would be charging my batteries using solar panels. I comprehend that first i need to mesure the consumption of my system but it actually it is a 3-12vdc motor using a circuit to control its rpm. A gearbox and a shift will be present. Is it possible and if yes, what are the specifications(approximate) of the solar pannel i should get

FEEDING A ELECTRIC MOTOR WITH BOTH A BATTERY AND A SOLAR PANEL?
Sep 10th
Question by Klaio:
Feeding a electric motor with both a battery and a solar panel?
I was wondering if it was possible to have a battery and a solar panel feeding a electric motor. The main idea was that, when in darkness the motor would run using the power from the battery, but when exposed to sun, it would begin using the solar panels instead, possibly even recharging the battery if possible. I have thought about linking the solar panel directly into the battery, but i fear it could damage the battery somehow.
