Can this connect directly and be used to charge a couple 12v deep cycle batteries for my enclosed trailer?

The 12V charger on this unit is minimal, maybe 10 watts, it should say in the specs, but I don't remember. I know I used the 12V plug on my motor home start battery and it barely made a difference on a 600 watt battery. You could use a separate 12V charger as long as it doesn't demand too many watts. Good luck.

Yes front panel has 12 volt contacts but I do not know the max amperage that can be drawn from it and I no longer have the manual. I am very happy with its performance and own eu2000i as well

Well yea, use a battery charger , or a deep cycle charger with a max of 35 amp .Most deep cycle batteries use a slow charge rate anyway which is a lower amp charger.Just keep the amp below 30 to 35 amp @ 12 volt. This is not a 24 or more system charger.

Yes of course, that is exactly what the 12v output is for. However, it is only 4 amps so it would take a while. Also, it has no smart limit or anything so it will be able to overcharge the battery bank.I would recommend using a standard 120v AC charger plugged into the normal AC outlet of the generator. It will charge faster and safer.That said, the answer is yes.

I dont think it would be able to handle the load. I hooked up a 650v UPS battery backup to it and it choked on it. I now use a 350v UPS on it and it can handle it.

I would have to look it up in the manual. Some deep cycle batteries like AGM's require a higher than standard voltage for charging. Perhaps you can download the Owners Manual pdf online.

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

it has a positive and negative cable that connects to the battery and on your second question yes as long as it's not over 1200 watts

You can do this but it will take a long time to fully charge. With only one generator, you will get about 0.1 amp into your 12V battery.

Good question. I would ask the manufacturer I had a question of them once and they were fairly prompt in answering. With mine I only need to connect to the batteries on my pick up camper and charge away!

Yes. You will need a 12 volt charge control box also. You shouldn't wire directly to the battery/batteries

No, it depends on the trailer's 12V system supplying power. If the trailer is plugged into AC or if the battery has sufficient charge this will be available.

I am charging 4 deep cycle marine batteries with no problems using this charge controller. So with your use it should work fine.

This item can be connected directly to a 12 volt battery. You would need to provide a charging source for the battery.

Sure! It's a 12V battery, just not a big one. One caution, though. If you are using these in series (like, in a Razor scooter), you must disconnect at least one of the connecting leads between batteries. Otherwise, it's a 24V system, and your 12V charger won't work.

I don't know for sure .but I puzzled why your trailer runs off 2_6 volts. But as far as 12 volt standard it works great highly recommend this product.

Yes. I have the Goal Zero Nomad 7 Solar Panel, which puts out 7 watts of power and I charge these batteries with it via the 12v attachment and it works great!

Yes. I use mine to keep a deep cycle 12V marine battery charged. 12 volts is just a nominal term for the average target output of a battery used in a 12V system. When fully charged, all batteries exceed their rated voltage.

Is this compatible with my portable DVD player (9-12V DC) to connect with an external solar battery?

If the rv is a 12 volt system then yes. The batteries would be connected in a parallel configuration .you can tell if this is correct by looking at the battery terminals. If the positive+ is connected from one battery to the + of the other battery then the system is most likely a 12v system. But if the + of one battery is connected to the - of the other battery the batteries are connected in series making the system 24v in that case the charger could only charge one battery at a time

Yes, the product manual shows a wiring diagram for how to wire 2 12v batteries in parallel. I am only running one battery right now, but I was originally planning on doing this. This kit works so well with my small trailer I don't even need 2 batteries. I have an 18ft trailer and low power requirements. If you are in the sun/partial sun they trickle charge all day and only start using juice in the evening/night. My battery rarely goes below 85% and is usually fully charged by 8-9am. There are videos that will help with your installation on the GoPower web site and YouTube.

I use mine this past weekend. I had the panel charging a 12V marine battery through a solar controller and had a 12v fan running in my trailer at the same time. Seemed to work just fine.
