Can the turbine connect directly to a 12 volt battery?
Yes, you can connect the power cable of the wind turbines directly to a 12 volt deep cycle battery. You do not need a charge controller but we do recommend using one while using multiple turbines. A charge controller will help to optimize the power production. We have had success with the (Flexcharge Controller NC25A-12).
Do I need a diode?
No, our wind turbines are equipped with a blocking diode. The blocking diode acts as a one-way valve to prevent the wind turbine from draining the battery.
What makes these unique compared to other wind turbines?
With other turbines you need a tower. Towers work great but it’s nice to have the option to quickly install on existing structures with a few screws. Experiment at different locations to see where the wind is strongest. Most other wind turbines are much larger and the spinning blades are a hazard. Our wind turbine systems are super compact and highly portable. Our blades are small and light weight which makes them safe from up close testing.
What can I power with these wind turbines?
The great thing about charging 12 volt batteries is you can power anything with a 12 volt plug. Say you’re your camping and there’s a bunch of wind. Set one up at camp to help power 12 volt fans, air pumps, lights, personal electronics and toys of all kinds.
