My Solar Panel Will Not Charge 24v Battery

Match up the male and female connectors with the opposite ones coming away from the solar panel and snap the mc4 connectors into place.

My solar panel will not charge 24v battery. Depending on your solar panel size and type your lead wires can end on either bare wires or a quick connect plug as the ones as the ones shown. How do we tell if the solar panel is charging the batteries on our 2002 motorhome. So if you have a solar panel that with a 10 watts power rating and it is exposed to sunlight for at least 6 hours.

An important point to be noted here is that a 24v rating battery is not available in the market but you can create one by joining two 12v batteries in a series connection. Deb from gilbert ariz wants to know. Your panel is rated at 12 volts and 5 watts. If you have added extra wire or an extension to your lead wires you can measure the voltage at the end of these.

Thus assuming it is getting sufficient sunlight its maximum current is 0 42 amperes. This means that on that scenario the solar panel delivered 60 watts of power to charge the battery. You can get the amount of energy it will provide the battery by multiplying 10 watts by 6 hours which will give you 60 wh. For 24v trolling motor batteries it becomes even more difficult to recharge the battery pack with a solar panel.

Generally a 12v solar panel should be paired with a 12v battery and a 24v solar panel should be used with a 24v battery. This means that the panel is not connected to either a battery or a charge controller. If you did provide 24 volts to the charge controller how much voltage will it apply to the battery which is important because 24 volts is probably too much. Once you ve attached the input wires to the charge connector you should have 2 loose wires each ending in an mc4 connector.
