It has become the standard and has been so for over 50 years. It was 6 volts in up until the late 50s.
12V
NO, voltage of the charger must match the battery voltage.
12V 5Ah
12v
Voltage is the same but amp hour capacity of the car battery is much higher.
If the 12 volt solar panel output voltage is always higher than the 6.5 watt battery voltage. To charge a battery, a voltage greater than the battery must be applied to the battery, otherwise the battery will try to charge the charger.
Usually 6v, can be 12v.
A == B (- 12V +) (- 12V +) (- 12V +) A single 12V battery in series with 4x 12V batteries connected in parallel... Total voltage from A to B is 24 volts! Note that the single battery in series will limit the total current capacity to that of a single battery.
You can replace a battery with a battery of the same voltage but greater capacity as long as it will physically fit.
It can be charged to approximately 13.9 volts.
No, the charging voltage needs to closely match the battery or BOOM!
