Cycle Battery Solar Charger

I want to use one/two deep cycle batteries for a power source when camping, emergencies, etc. I would like to use a solar panel with a trickle charge to have them 100% til needed. Anyone have knowledge of a kit, plans for just a good solar charger?

You can go to a solar shop and get some of what is required, either locally or off the web. You need a 36 cell (12V) solar panel, the bigger the better, a regulator (so it stops charging when the batteries are full), some cable rated to suit the...

I bought a 5watts solar powered charger but I'm not sure if these will be good for charging 12volt deep cycle battery.Any help?

You can charge it if is 12 volt rated. it may take a while to charge it. What purpose are you using it for? Is it a deep cycle battery to power other things?

Those little solar jobs are great for battery maintainance but look closely at the maximum charging rate if you expect it to charge the battery in a reasonably short period of time - deep cycle batteries range from 650 to 900 amp hours capacity -...

If you can remove the battery, most auto parts stores will charge and test the battery for you for free.

I bought some deep cycle (golf cart) batteries about 6 years ago for a solar power backup system. However, I have neglected the system and the water in the batteries has since evaporated. If I refill them with distilled water, and use a battery...

Temporarily. When recharging use the lowest amp setting on your charger (usually 2 amps, or "trickle" charge) That should prevent overheating if one of your cells has failed due to neglect. After a day or so of charging, use a 70 amp...
