can i use this to charge and maintain my battery bank 2 6volt 220ah deep cycle batts wired in series ( 12v total )

2 6volt batteries is still 6 volts. I don't think this charger will work for you, there are some dual 6/12 volt chargers, but I think this charger is just 12 volt.

Two 6V wired in series is 12V not 6V, and yes it will. "Per Customer Service Baccus Global, LLC the unit will operate at 12V with two 6V batteries with the same capacity."

I don't see why not. It's simply a regular battery with an unusual chemistry. Just make sure you get your series wiring correct and make sure they don't overheat at whatever charging amperage you go with.

You will need about 300Ah worth of batteries with a 400w system asuming 50% Depth of Discharge. So if this is for a 12v system you can use 2 x 6v, 300Ah batteries in series.

If you match the proper size batteries to your panels through the right size charge controller you will have no problem charging the batteries. The generally accepted ratio is 1 1/2 watts of panel per amp hour of battery for a productive charge. This unit is not a charge controller. This is a 12 volt power inverter that converts the 12 volt power in your battery to 120volt ac for common use. I have one of these. It works ok for the money but it doesn't produce very "clean" electricity.

Not positive here, but I would be hesitant to use this charger for that purpose and I wouldn't even dream about it if they are in series. (I would dare to believe that they are parallel though.) I would feel okay with 2 standard automotive batteries wired in parallel, but I think you are asking for a short lived charger on anything more than that.

Mark: This company markets internationally. I am in the US and have 60 hz. I would go the web site and check, but I think that there may be a switch on the unit for either. I have found this unit to be highly reliable. I have been using it for a year and my batteries have been maintained at 13.7 V to 13.9 V. I am using the old standard lead acid batteries on a sailboat and charge a bank of 3 of the deep cycle batteries. One bank shares one 10 amp feed and the battery I used as house battery has the other channel. It is important to install the battery charger with stand-offs about 1.5 inches from the bulk head to allow circulation of air for heat dissipation. This unit has been reliable and trouble free. It has been on line 24/7 now for over a year. Hope this helps. James D.

This should not be used for deep cycle batteries. From Amazon website Maintain up to four 12 Volt standard, starting batteries (of similar type - in parallel). Amperage is divided evenly among connected batteries. (NOT recommended for deep cycle batteries)

You have to hook up battery's in a series. It will charge 6 / 12 volts at a time.

Should work.But i suggest to find 24v DC - AC inverter and hook it directly to your batteries. Converting from 24V to 12V and then to AC voltage is not efficient at all.

If the two batteries in series will make 24 volts DC, no. The charger on this unit is a smart charger and will likely fail to properly charge your batteries. In all probability, it will charge non-stop until the batteries and/or the charger burn out. I suggest either a 24-volt charger/inverter with a voltage reduction to match your 12-volt gear or a stand alone 24-volt charger and disable the charger that is built into the inverter.Hope this helped.AU

Yes , the charger will charge batteries between 6v-12v so you will be ok. depending on wich "female connector" you have it should work great. and if it doesn't include the connector you need, you could always run down to your local hobby shop and pick up a adapter .

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.

I Charge 2 6V 200 Ah batteries in series with this charger. I have also charged them individually - Doesn't seem to make much difference in charge time. Short answer - Yes. (Of course you would want to disconnect your PV array/charge controller before connecting this unit)

I have two 12V22AH batteries wired in series producing 24 volts. It all depends what your using the batteries for. I charge mine on a 2 Amp.24 Volts charger. It may take more but certainly not the charge your suggesting. Be careful. You may explode the batteries or ruin them. How are you wiring them? Series or parallel?

Yes,if you hook up two 6 volt batteries in series you will double the voltage to 12 volts and keep the amperage the same. + to - and -to +. Connecting the same batteries in parallel + to + and - to - gives you 6 volts but doubles the amperage. So if you connect them in series the 12 volts will be charged with any 12 volt charger. Sorry for the lengthy explanation but I wanted it to be clear. Good luck.

I don't think that will work. I charge the batteries with a standard outlet. Hope that helps.

Sure. Can't imagine why not. This is a very high quality unit so it's not going to damage your battery with any weird voltage swings. I have five of them. One stopped working, which was my fault as I had hooked it up to a dead battery, but they were kind enough to replace it anyway. I would give them more that five stars if there were such a category!!
