Can The Go Power Eco Solar Charging System Be Used With Another Battery Charger

Published 09/20/2023

Question:

I want to use this on my large dump trailer that has a 120vt battery charger factory installed. Is there any issue with the wiring? Do I need to disconnect the solar unit when I use the 120vt charger?

The Go Power Eco Solar Charging System # 34273836 is only a trickle charger rated for 0.57 amps so you wouldn't really have an issue with it charging along with your battery charger but you can check if the charger reads the battery's charge level and changes it's charging mode based on it. Most likely it stops once the battery is fully charged and goes into a float mode to maintain the charge, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
