Will the HF 45v solar panel be sufficient to charge a bank of 6 - 6v batteries?  If so, how would one wire the batteries to power 12v equipment?

Thanks for the help.

The HF panel is not 45 VOLTS it is 45 WATTS. Its voltage output is 17v nominal (12 battery charging).

Wire the 6v batteries in series-parallel to get 12v.

so...

+6v-+6v-

+6v-+6v-

|           |

+6v-+6v-

|           |

+          -

depends on the batts and the load and the sun too mine can take up to a week to fully charge my two 6v golf cart batts in mn but keeps them up well if loads are light
