You need to use a blocking diode wired in series to prevent battery discharge via the solar panel at times of no sunlight, eg nighttime.

Where is the battery in a vespa gtv 250?

There is a panel (held on with 4 screws) on the floor between where your feet rest. The battery is under the panel.


If you made a 14V 150mA solar charger for your cigarette lighter why would the radio turn on when plugged in with no ignition movement?

The radio shares the same power as the cigar lighter. When car is off neither work. Putting power into the plug fires up the radio. This means that using a solar panel to keep the battery up will not work on this car w/o putting the lighter power feed onto a battery supply fuse at the fuse panel.


Can you leave a 5.5 watt solar panel attached to a boat battery while running the engine in other words alternator and solar panel charging the battery at the same time?

Yes, you can. The alternator on your boat is voltage regulated, so it will automatically taper off the charge current to maintain about 14.6 volts regardless of what the solar panel is doing. The panel is not regulated if you do not have a charge regulator installed between it and the battery, but at 5.5 watts, the most it will put out is about one half an amp. As a rule, you can take the current rating on a panel and divide it by 50, and as long as the amp hour capacity of the battery is not less than the resultant number, you do not need a charge controller, the panel will never put out enough current to overcharge the battery. If the sun is shining while the motor is running, the alternator will simply reduce its output enough to accomodate the panel, no other action is required. If you want to read more about this, look in the library for a book called, "The Complete Battery Book," by Richard Perez. Take care, Rudy

Can a 12v solar panel charge a 12v battery?

If the 12 volt solar panel output voltage is always higher than the 6.5 watt battery voltage. To charge a battery, a voltage greater than the battery must be applied to the battery, otherwise the battery will try to charge the charger.

Can a 12-volt solar battery charger charge a 36-volt battery?

No, a 12-volt solar battery charger is not capable of charging a 36-volt battery directly. The voltage output of the charger needs to match the voltage requirements of the battery for efficient and safe charging. It is recommended to use a charger that is specifically designed for a 36-volt battery.


How do you keep car battery charged while away?

Maintaining Battery ChargeIt is not uncommon for most batteries to "self-discharge" over time. There are a few ways to maintain the battery's charge:Start the vehicle about once every two weeks, and allow it to idle for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the alternator to charge the battery, and allow time for the engine and coolant to fully heat up to normal operating temperature, and to circulate lubricating oil throughout the engine which will help protect the engine's internal parts from corrosion.If you can't or don't want to start and run the engine, then you can buy a small, inexpensive charger designed just for keeping the battery charged. This type of charger is called a "Trickle Charger" and puts out just enough current [about one Ampere (Amp)] just to maintain an already fully chargedbattery. To power the Trickle Charger it plugs into an ordinary 110-120 Volt electrical receptacle.You could also use an ordinary battery charger IF it hasa trickle charge mode of operation. This charger also gets power from an ordinary household receptacle.Another option is to buy a Solar Trickle Charger [uses Photovoltaic cells]. With the solar trickle charger you just plug it into the cigarette lighter socket and then lay solar cell panel on top of the dashboard where it can get at least a few hours of sunlight daily.

Solar Battery Chargers Increase Cellphone Talk Time?

Boost your talk time with a portable solar battery charger for your cellphone. Small panels are affordable and make it easy to top off your battery when you're outdoors. On sunny days, do your part to conserve electricity by propping the panel in a window. When you're shopping for a cellphone charger, look for one intended for USB devices. Some models even include a case to hold your phone while the battery charges.


How do you keep your car battery from going dead after 4 months?

Maintaining Battery ChargeYou didn't say, so I have to assume by the "4 months" you mean you mean without starting, running, and using the vehicle.It that's the case, then it is not uncommon for most batteries to "self-discharge" over that time period. There are a few ways to maintain the battery's charge:Start the vehicle about once every two weeks, and allow it to idle for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the alternator to charge the battery, and allow time for the engine and coolant to fully heat up to normal operating temperature, and circulate lubricating oil throughout the engine which will help protect the engine's internal parts from corrosion.If you don't want to start and run the engine, then you can buy a small, inexpensive charger designed just for keeping the battery charged.
