lithium battery charger

[nicklee-ESC]

Hello!
A newbie here, my 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.

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?

There is no problem with multiple charging sources. You need to connect the "brick" charger to either the battery or the battery side of the solar controller, not to the input of the solar controller. Since the circuit breaker for the solar controller output is only in the "hot" leg, you would still need to find a negative for the negative pole of the charger.

Have to admit I didn't know the right answer to this either, but yes, according to a couple of Google searches, you can have multiple charging sources to a battery at the same time. If you think about it, that's what happens when you have solar and you are towing; the tow vehicle is supplying charge as is the solar.
