Expert Answers about Portable Chargers
- Will the Go Power Portable Solar Systems Work With Two 6 Volts Batteries Wired In Series
- The Go Power Portable Solar Systems like part # 34282729 for 90 watts will work just fine with two six volt batteries wired in series. In regards to installation, you would simply attach the red cable to the positive post on the first battery and the black cable to the negative post on the second battery.

- Winch makers usually provide guidance about the required power to operate their winches to their fullest capacity. For example, the 3000-lb-rated Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25010 will require 70-amps of battery current to deliver its full capacity. A battery with less output capacity may still adequately operate the winch with lighter loads on it but will not be able to operate the winch under a full load.
A battery charger like NOCO # NOC34FR is designed to deliver slow,...
view full answer... - Recommended Battery for a 12,000 Lb. Electric Car Trailer Winch
- For a 12,000 lb. electric car trailer winch like the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch part # BDW10040, I recommend a standard 12 volt lead acid battery rated up to at least 650 cold cranking amps (CCA). As long as the battery is rated up to 650 CCA then you should have no problem powering the winch on your car trailer.
A 650 CCA rating is more or less a standard for a 12,000 lb. electric car trailer winch. However, every electric winch should have a recommended battery rating. If you can tell...

- What a nice Camper to have!! To help maintian a battery charge the 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger part # PTW2997 you looked at is adequate.

- Thanks for the photo!
The Goal Zero Boulder 200 Briefcase Solar Panel # 287-32409 uses a specialized connector that is different from what you have pictures but we have the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282610 that comes with an adapter to fit that inlet.
A lot of the newer solar panel systems are from Go Power so odds are your trailer is setup with this same brand. This is a plus because this portable kit uses a PWM charger which...

- The Go Power Transfer Switch # 342GPTS that you referenced is intended to give you convenient switching between two AC power sources, such as shore AC power at a campground and AC output from a generator. You can use this transfer switch to take your generator's AC output and deliver it to your battery charger to maintain your batteries.

- The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D will work very well with solar panels, but I'm not sure how it would improve the charging that is already integrated into your solar power generator. The generator could be directly connected to your trailer battery. I don't have any knowledge of your battery generator or it's ability to maintain a trailer battery, so that may be a differentiating point.
The BCDC kit is designed to...

- Yes! You can charge your Goal Zero Yeti 1500X Lithium Portable Power Station # GZ64FR from your vehicle using 2 different methods; the Regulated Car Adapter # 287-98079 or the Yeti Link Vehicle Integration Kit # GZ43ZR.
The difference between the two options is that the Car Adapter is easier to use/install but is more like a trickle charger while the Vehicle Integration Kit pulls power directly from your alternator and is more powerful so it doesn't take as long to charge.

- The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger part # 331-BCDC1225D will still install the same with a smart alternator. The blue wire will still go the vehicle's ignition. The charger will recognize that the car battery is still receiving a charge from the alternator even if the voltage drops like it does with smart alternators. When the voltage does drop while accelerating the charger will adapt to the drop and still pull power.

view full answer... - Portable Power Station Recommendation for 500 Watt e-Bike Batteries
- The Go Power DuraCUBE Lithium Portable Power Station # GP82RR has a cell capacity of 537.6Wh so since your e-Bike batteries are rated for 500 Watts this power station will be able to charge 1 of your bike batteries on a full charge (there will be roughly 37.6Wh of power leftover technically).
For your application you need to go with a battery bank with a larger capacity like the Goal Zero Yeti 1000X # GZ44FR rated for 983Wh or the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X # GZ27FR rated for 1,516Wh. The 1500X...

- I do have a way for you to install an AC powered air conditioning unit on your travel trailer that operates on DC power but the 12 volt power circuit on the 7-way trailer connector will not be sufficient to power an inverter running a 10,000 btu air conditioning unit.
A 10,000 btu air conditioner in going to require around 2,000 watts for startup and 700 watts of continuous power to run. These figures are averages and you will want to check your unit for exact specifications. If you will...
view full answer... - Is It Possible to Run an Air Conditioner and 12v Fridge Solely on Solar and Battery Power
- Running your A/C solely off of solar and battery power is not recommended. Due to the amount of power drawn by the A/C, it is near impossible to run with just solar and battery power and the new A/C's are no exception to this. At minimum we recommend a battery bank with at least 700 amp hours. You'll need a solar panel kit like the Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System with 2 MPPT Solar Controllers # 342-75011 or larger to recharge your batteries. You'll also need an inverter like the...

- The inverter in the Go Power Solar Extreme Charging System - 570 Watt Solar Panels - 3,000 Watt Inverter Charger # 34282185 would not be able to run at the same time to supplement the shore power. The only way for it would be to separate it from your RV's electrical system and wire the second air conditioner directly to the inverter and run both systems independently.
