Can I use multiple MPPT charge controllers?

Another consideration is that BOS requirements for larger arrays can be more challenging. It’s also important to note that each controller will have its own separate solar array, with each array configured in accordance with the solar controller specifications.

How far should the charge controller be from the battery?

It is highly recommended that the charge controller be within one meter (approximately 3.25ft) of the battery bank and in the same room or enclosure.

Can I use 24 volt solar panels to charge 12 volt batteries through MPPT controller?

Yes, you could do it. They are usually designed to put out at least 30\% more than the batteries they are intended to charge. This works perfectly well because a PV module is (at a constant light level) a constant current device.

Should the car be running when charging battery?

If your car does start, let it run for a few minutes to help charge the battery further. Unhook the clamps in the reverse order of how you put them on. Be sure to drive your car for about 30 minutes before stopping again so the battery can continue to charge. Otherwise, you might need another jump start.

Do batteries charge at idle?

Yes, the alternator does charge the battery while the car is idling – regardless of the load on the battery. However, if your electrical use load (radio, lights, fan, etc) exceeds the amount of charge the battery is receiving from the alternator, you will end up with a discharged battery at some point.
