will this panel work with my controller?

[Arh]

I have an Epever tracer4210a controller and want to use this panel to charge my 4, 6v batteries in a 12v system. will it work?

The tag states that the PV Panel will output out either 86 Volts max ( + more on a cold day ) or 6.4 amps max.
Do you understand that information?

Q1) Do those values exceed the Max Input valueS of your Charge Controller?

Q2) Is your Charge Controller PWM or MPPT?

The open circuit voltage , @85 volts is close to the 100 volt max of your controller. Where are you located? What is the lowest expected temperature? As far as capacity of your controller you could expect about 25 amps into a 12 volt battery with this panel so you are fine there.

it is a 40 amp MPPT controller

I live in San Diego so cold weather wont be an issue.

Know the controller well. You should be fine. The one thing I notice though is that you , (if your batteries are golf cart batteries) is you have around 400 - 440 Ah of battery with only a potential 30ish amps of charging power. What are your plans for this system? For occasional use you should be fine. For daily heavy cycling you would want more like 40 -45 amps.

weekends dry camping mostly , yes they are golf cart batteries. I have 10 gauge wire for the run from the panel to the controller, about 12ft. is that heavy enough? the run from the controller to the batteries is about 3ft. will the 10 gauge work for that as well?

[littleharbor]

You should be fine then. As the incoming (to the CC), voltage is high and amperage is low 10Ga. is fine. The output to your batteries will be considerably higher current I would go with 8ga.

Thanks for the help!
