Here is the kind of controller I have High amp rating: 440 amps, 10,000 watts.CWatters said:
Most of time wind is Not over 12 mph until we have thunder storm. On average only 11 volts coming from 12 volt turbine. Have seen 22 volts in 50 mph gust but only for short time.anorlunda said:

A wind turbine is equipped with a rotor that has blades attached to it. When the wind blows, it causes the blades to rotate, which then turns a shaft connected to a generator. The generator converts the kinetic energy from the wind into electrical energy, which is then stored in the 12V batteries.
The size of the wind turbine needed to charge 12V batteries depends on various factors such as the average wind speed in your area, the capacity of the batteries, and the amount of energy required to charge them. Generally, a small wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 1.5-3 meters is sufficient for charging 12V batteries.
Yes, a wind turbine can charge multiple 12V batteries at once. However, the number of batteries that can be charged simultaneously depends on the capacity of the wind turbine and the batteries. It is important to ensure that the total capacity of the batteries does not exceed the maximum output of the wind turbine.
The time it takes for a wind turbine to charge 12V batteries varies depending on the wind speed, the size of the wind turbine, and the capacity of the batteries. On average, it can take anywhere from 4-8 hours to fully charge a 12V battery with a small wind turbine.
While wind turbines can generate electricity in a wide range of wind speeds, they may not be as effective in extreme weather conditions such as very high winds or heavy rain. It is important to regularly maintain the wind turbine and ensure it is properly protected from harsh weather to maximize its charging capabilities.
