Question:
I have hooked this charger up to a solar panel that provides 1.5 amps of 12 volt power. Is this enough amps to keep a maintainance charge on a small 12 volt battery in a Polaris SXS?

Expert Reply:
The solar panel will keep the battery from draining while sitting but if power is drawn from the battery the solar panel and charger will not be able to charge up the battery. The charger # 20011 is designed for small 5 amp hour batteries in breakaway systems. A charger such as # 331-BCDC1240D is better suited for use with a solar panel.
