can this charge controller be used with a wind turbine system?

It has a Max 30v input for the 12v version and Max 60v input for the 24v version. It will disconnect load bellow 11.5v for the 12v version and 23v for the 24v version.

I have it hooked up to Solar PV, i assume it could work for wind turbine. But a call to morningstar could give u a definitive answer.

No you cannot use this window turbine now you getting into a more complicated situation for that it will be a little more expensive for when turbine charge converter and is pretty big this is only. The panel I hope that answer your question

I do not believe it can be used with a wind turbine system. It has no dump load capacity. When the wind generator is putting out more than the batteries can take, it has no way to divert that energy to another load (water heater, air heater, etc).

No, you cannot use the MorningStar with a wind turbine. It doesn't have a wind turbine charge controller built-in is only full solo panels I hope this will help you thank you

This charge controller will work on wind or solar, but not both. With wind the charge controller must dump to a load when the batteries are charged. If it doesn't dump, the wind generator can over speed and destroy itself. No problem with solar as the controller just limits the charge.

I'm no expert, but I would think so. I have the charge controller charging the battery while an AC inverter pulls from the battery. Should be the same situation.

No, I think the generator inside the unit is set to generate 12V. The controller that goes with this system is also 12V so unless there is a controller that can convert to 24V, then you may need to find another way to convert the charge. I 24V system is more expensive though? FYI.

This may work, only if you can install isolating switches. Then you can select solar, or mains charging, or on-board ac with the inverter .I don't know if the solar charge controller can be hooked up with the ac charger in common. I can try it. Best to be careful, so there is isolation between the power sources.

for the safety of the battery., a controller charger is necessary to watch for the charging condition of the batter. there are battery charge controller less than 20 USD., in market that will help to solve this problem. otherwise., direct connection from mini-wind turbine will work but the condition of battery in charging mode has NO controller for hi and lo volt status.

It's not a real functioning wind turbine. You essentially plug it in to an outlet and it's a model wind turbine that acts as a USB charging hub as well.

This wind turbine does not include the charge controller. We do carry several charge controllers in our Amazon store such as the 24 Volt 10,000 Watt 440 Amp Charge Controller with Divert Relay For Wind Turbine Generators and Solar Panels and our full line on our website.

Yes, but I would recommend changing the charge controller if leaving it unattended - only because it looks so small and flimsy with tiny wires, and mine only worked sporadically. I would pay $8 for a sunforce 7A charge controller - these seem to be the best value Ive found. I have several of them between solarpanels and car batteries in different applications and they work great and are efficient e.g. I leave one charging 4 car batteries on my boat 24/7. example...http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=controllers+sunforce

as far as I understand you will need 2 units: one as a charge controller for your solar panels and a 2nd one as charge diversion for the wind generator. The wind generator cannot be stopped and so you need to "burn" the electricity once your batteries are full with a special diversion load. The 2nd unit will regulate this. Hope this helps.

Yes, but must use a CHARGE CONTROLLER device between the windmill output and the battery bank.

yes I don't see why it would not work, you should use a charge controller to prevent overcharging

When it says wind power back up it's referring to an alternator on a wind generator, but it has to be converted to dc, so no it does not have a built in charger, these batteries can take a lot of charge/discharging. So use your charger

I use mine for elec. fence and charge a 12 volt battery and I didn't need a controller, good for me.

If the controller is made for 12V fans, I don't see why not.. but I can not say for sure.. I don't know how they would fare if the voltage is limited..

I only run my panel array through the charge controller and connect my wind generator directly into the battery bank since it has a built in charge controller.

I use it to charge and keep the charge on a 12 volt 7AH battery and it works fine. No need for a charge controller because the amps it puts out are very low, so you should be just fine.
