110v lithium battery charger

[DavidD]

Hello!
A newby question: Some time ago I bought a 12v 200 Ah lithium battery on Aliexpress. It came with a 110v charger that looks like a brick with a cord that plugs into the wall and 2 allegator clips for 12v output to the battery. Is it ok to mix the wall charging current with the solar charging current from the solar panel — having them charge both at the same time? (Like maybe hooking it onto the breaker for the solar panel…) My solar panel is 200 w.

Charging from multiple sources

One can have as many independent charging sources running concurrently as they like provided they are programmed properly for the voltage of one's battery bank. Examples (some or all at once, even multiples of a single type, different brands, etc.): Solar PV via MPPT Solar PV via PWM AC-DC...

Yes that’s fine.

I currently have my battery hooked up to a solar panel via the solar charge controller. If I wanted to add current from the 110v charger that came with the 14.6 v battery, where would I tie it in? Could I clamp the 110 v battery charger to the terminals on the circuit breaker sending current to the solar charge controller at the same time the solar panel is sending current to the solar charge controller?

Just connect directly to the battery. Don’t connect it to the circuit breaker.
