Solar Battery Charging Kit

I have a question please help! I just bought the complete 45 watt solar kit from harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...e mnumber=90599

plus also I got an inverter http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...e...

That charge controller is notoriously cheap and burns up easily. If you are going add solar panels, also buy another charge controller to go with them. They can both be connected to the same battery bank. I don't believe the kit comes with...

I am doing a project for my EE100 class. What I want to do is build a kit car and instead of using AA batteries would it be possible to use solar cells. I have two cells one at 1V and the other one at 2V. wich in series is 3V. That is the...

You may be able to power the car with your solar cells. In addition to the voltage, you also need to consider the current requirements to drive the motor. While the solar cells may be capable of producing enough voltage to drive the motor, they may

I have eight mini solar panels that I'm hooking up to the battery. Its a small kit. Do you think the battery can charge faster in series or parallel?

Assuming they are NiCd batteries or lead-acid, it would probably be faster to charge in series, but maybe not. With series the voltage will be the same across all batteries, but the total available current the panel can produce will be split...

I want to make solar powered fountain for my husband's birthday. However, we do not get enough direct sun all day to power a "direct sunlight" solar panel. I would like to use a solar fountain pump and add a battery system to it so...

How many amps will you need to power the pump, and how many amps of power will you get from your solar cells is the real question you need to know.

Go to Radio Shack, maybe they can help you, a lot of hobbyists get electrical supplies

I am running a 180 watt electric motor (e-bike conversion kit) via a 36 V 10 amp hour lithium ion battery. Can anyone give me advice on setting up a solor powered system to most effectively charge the battery?

Yes you can charge a 36 volt battery with solar.

You just need 1 amp at 48 volts to charge a 10amp 36 volt battery.

Hook three of these solar panels to add volts to 49.2 volts http://store.oynot.com/suswsopa6.html

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...
