Can I get cords to connect the controller to a 12 volt battery and my Maha 808 charger to charge 8 D cell batteries... a round 6 pin connector?

if you know what you're doing you can change it to whatever you want it's awesome you just have to know what you're doing with electronics but the solar panel works out awesome I'm going to buy like 10 more

You need to buy a 12 regulator they sell for solar panels so it will not over charge your 12 volt batteries.

You do not connect the BK to a 48 volt system!!!! It is a 12 volt charger. To charge 4 batteries at one time they MUST be in parallel!!!

you are going to need to use the male connector of this 2 pack Duratrax Battery Connectors Unwired (2-Piece) hope i can help you!

No you have to have the rechargeable controllers already. This is just like the cord but two spots for the controllers to sit in. I wouldn't get it though. Mine was a POS. I just threw it away

yes, but you'll want to investigate whether to put them in series or parallel. You'll need a simple little parallel adapter if you choose parallel. Learn which voltages your charge controller accepts and works efficiently with, calculate what your array puts out, and then decide on your wiring method and final setup.

the shorai charger is designed specifically for the shorai batteries. they are 4 or 6 pin connectors with a specific plug into the battery. it is for diagnostics and proper maintenance and charging. these batteries are not meant for normal charging at the posts. so to answer your question: no "standard" connectors.

No, it comes with just short ~9" positive and negative leads to which you would connect a cable that you'll have to provide. Your cable would go from the panel to your charge controller.

Will charge 10.8v and 12v batteries per the manual. I only have the 10.8v battery so 8 cannot vouch for a 12v battery.

You need to connect the panel with solar wire connectors like the MC4. You can connect to several batteries as long as they are connected with the correct voltage ie 12 or 24 volts depending on which way you go with the charge controller. Connecting 12v batteries in parallel will give you 12v. Go in series and you get 24v.

I am powering a dc fan in my roof vent using two of them. If you connect to battery you need a charging controller. dc motors dont care to much what the voltage , more on the load

Yes. By using the cigarette lighter connection that comes with the 600 connected through the charge controller. be sure to connect the positive line to the center post of the lighter connection and the negative to the outside connectionan easier way wold be to buy a 12 volt socket so it can easily be used for other 12 volt devices

You will need a copper buss bar and some mc4 connectors. Run the positive wires in 10 gauge wire from the panels to the copper buss bar then a 8 gauge stranded copper wire from the buss bar to the charge controller. You can get a mc4 tee connector to tie the negative wires together and run one wire to the location of the charge controller. Do not do this for the positive wires from the panels to the controller, that's what I Sid first and found out a couple weeks later I was only getting power from one panel.

Sorry, no 12 volt cord. That would be a nice addition to their charger. I'm not sure where to buy one. If you find one, please let me know. Thanks

By that I guess you mean ones that this charger was not designed to work with right? Well, that is a little tricky based on what you are trying to charge. If it is a commercial battery for a drill, you can get something similar to this if you just type the drill's name or model. You don't have to worry about typing the specific battery model number or the specific charger model number and you will see a few results for just the charger mixed in with the results. I typed craftsman 19v and found this one. If you are trying to charge something else or another tool or battery by another manufacturer and you don't know exactly what you are doing, you are asking for trouble but I will give you a few tips. 1) Lithium ion batteries are ticking time bombs. They will explode if over charged with too much voltage or current. 2) LiPo will explode if wrong polarity is used. 3) Most of them have protections from the things that make them explode and some even have them per cell. Some of them though rely on the charger to be smart enough not to over charge and have odd terminals so you can't charge it in any other charger. 4) They all operate in series and some, like this one, even charge in series. Thus with a multimeter, find the polarity of the battery you want to charge and the approximate voltage (I.e. if you have a 24 volt battery and it has 4 terminals and per two terminals you find that they are 10 volts each when low on charge then one can assume that you have 2 sets of 12 volt batteries in a series) then just get some alligator clips and clip them to another power source or power adapter of the same voltage and then sawpt them between the series. One time I really needed a device and I forgot the charger and I did this by connecting the alligator clips to my car for 30 mins then I swapped them to the other terminals for 30 mins too and it got me out of trouble. Just be really careful not to overcharge. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but this system can be used only for 12V system. And you would need to get some additional wire to connect controller.

Do you have the set up yet? When you do have, the instructions are very clear. They show the wires coming from the panel to the controller, a red and black wire. from the controller they go to the battery. This too is clearly marked. The wires that attach to your battery need a connector. If you still have trouble connect me again and I will give you my husbands email so he can walk you through it.
