6 FAQs about [Negative battery panel]
Do electrons move from a negative battery terminal to a positive terminal?
If electrons, which form the electrical current and have a negative charge, do move from the negative battery terminal to the positive terminal, does this mean that the fuse should be on the negative battery side and not the positive terminal? The current is the same on both sides so either works. You fuse it so the circuit is not complete.
Is a negative bus bar connected to a battery?
Yes. The negative bus bar is connected to the battery. Then everything else (other DC wires) connects to that bus bar too. Same for the positive bus bar. In most cases the SCC has 4 wires. Two from the solar panels, and the two DC wires going to the corresponding bus bars. Yes. The negative bus bar is connected to the battery.
Can a solar panel charge a battery?
The simplest possible solar battery charging circuit is just to connect the positive wire from a solar panel to the positive battery terminal, and the negative solar panel wire to the negative battery terminal. This was the main practice back in the day, and will quite happily charge a battery! However, there are two potential problems:
How do I know if my solar panel is bad?
Put the red positive meter lead on one side and the black negative lead on the other. This measures across the terminals or wires of the solar panel. You must set the volt meter to read DC Volts. If there’s a negative number displayed on the voltmeter then that means that the leads are pointing in the wrong direction.
What happens if you put a MOSFET on a negative terminal?
If you put the fuse on negative and have anything else connected to that negative terminal before the fuse, assuming it's "ground", you're going to have problems. That's a very common problem with low-side MOSFETs. I've been bitten by this at least once with my 3D printers.
How do you know if a voltmeter is bad?
If there’s a negative number displayed on the voltmeter then that means that the leads are pointing in the wrong direction. A minus sign indicates a negative charge. The black meter lead should be on the negative and the red meter lead on the positive after flipping them over. This should reveal a positive number without a negative symbol.
