Putting a 50 watt on my mini excavator secondary battery for other power use on it

I did the same for my golf cart. The 12v battery handles all my accessories leaving the main battery to power the motor.

Nice project! I put a 30lb trolley on my Kayak and I’m wondering if it would be worth it to add an 30watt solar panel to charge the battery a bit. But mostly plan on using the paddles. But don’t want to waste money if the charge not worth it for the 30 watt panel. What do you think?

Get as many watts as you can. The 50w winded up being too small. Got a 175w flexible one that i love.

Awesome video thank you! But is it possible to charge 3 batteries off of one solar panel and 1 solar controller?

Maybe get a bigger charger! It’ll be slow… but yes.

How do you set up the controller for min/max?

Is there any risk of the solar panel and contoller over-charging the batter and causing a fire, or does the controller cut the supply?

It all depends on the quality of the controller. It should cut off / reduce charging automatically.

Check with the manufacturer. I don’t see why not.

Well.. I ended up getting a 175W as it wasn't enough for my needs. I'm looking for a project to use this one on.

Hello, Can I use the motor at the same time? Charging and driving ?

I tried. Unless you're using it to drive a Barbie rowboat, I'd hazard a NO.

What size panels do I need for 12v 10 and 30 amp.
@BobPellerin

W = volts x amps. To get 10-30 amps I’d get the biggest W you can find that fits your space. The 300-400W are very common.

It's an old one. It's stored away for the winter at this point or I would go check.

You were so engrossed in the parts that you failed to discuss important things like how much current the motor draws, how long the battery will run it without a recharger, what the recharge rate is (when it's sunny), can you run the motor directly from the charger, how much longer will the motor run if the battery is being recharged while running, and I could think of other obvious important parameters that you didn't address. And secondly, let's see your contraption work. My guess is you put it all away after the video camera stopped. My overall impression is, here is a guy that decided to make a youtube video about using a solar charger, but beyond buying some parts, has no real understanding about what he is doing.

It was supposed to be an unboxing and I got a little carried away. LOL I have replaced this by a bigger pannel. I haven't tried to run the engine directly from solar. I have to remember to try that when spring comes along! Thanks for the excellent suggestion!!!

What size panel did you replace it with? Can you recommend a model or brand?
