Battery chargers and solar controllers

My question to anyone is I have a sunguard-4 controller. My solar set up is small but works for basement lights. I have a aux gen because of were I live what I am wondering is can I hook up a battery 110v house charger to my batteries now that they are being solar charge without damageing the controller? Also I am hooking to the battery lugs no were else.

Re: Battery chargers and solar controllers

you should be able to hook that up without a problem.  If it were my house, I would connect to a power distribution block or polaris connectors from the battery terminals, and make necessary connections from there.  Going to the terminals would be fine, but I would use the terminal block to minimize post connections and keep things clean.  We should be carrying distribution blocks soon, and an electrical distributor would have polaris connectors(insulated terminal blocks).

there should not be a problem with hooking up the solar charge controller and the house charger, but you could always check the 110 charger manual to see if there are any warnings.
