  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    I'm so sorry, I messed up, I ordered a 12v 50ah battery, I was thinking I could use it as a ups battery replacement because I don't think using an lfp batt in a ups isnt smart...do I need an mppt for this sla batt ? And nobody say I quit cuz I've just gotten started
  • Post in thread: Cannot understand this Chinese solar charge controller

    Okay, I think I somewhat understand, I was hoping to run my desktop PC 24/7 on the battery and solar panels alone and at some point upgrade to more batteries and power a 680 watt AC...at least during daytime hours

    the umm "smart" charger has a 10A option according to the photo that i put up for you... just looked, i even see 18A

    Found ring terminals online (because I am so so far from civilized Philippines) that everything is done online... But I don't know which terminal size .. I don't have a caliper and I cannot understand inches, the size of the bottom of the bolt is (the part that you screw in) is roughly 1cm wide...
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    since everyone told me (not in so many words) that i am simply too dumb to use lfp batteries as a solar bank, i will stay with what i somewhat understand.. the 12,000 php battery that GXMNow linked a few pages back...but i still have 5-7 days before it arrives, is there anything else that i...

  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    1500 or 1600. local time.. mppt is telling me 12.5 volts.. i think i saved my 2 12v batteries.. as for the black 12v 100ah battery.. i dunno.. 5 days. sending "pulses".. but.. zero results... and for fun.. i did unclamp one of the battery clamps to see if there is any change.. the lcd screen on...

  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    pardon ??? im sorry, i dont follow.. the rapid charger is only to safely top up my power bank without taxing the charging portion of my ups... both my dc to ac inberters fail to turn on my lcd monitor so i am forced to use my ups in the end...
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    i actually find that using youtube to be difficult for information difficult as the majority comes from India/Bharat and i have my doubts that they are doing things correctly as their education isnt anytwhere near that of my frigid home... i use my little DC knowledge from tesla engineering...
  • Post in thread: few questions

    Y Yup, but being a veteran myself I'm not very shy when it comes to cold showers in certain countries... And I left the area where I would have the room for a solar water heater,,, I'm familiar with it, they sell very cheap in isreal I believe But due to a severe cyclone, I had to evacuate...
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    oh you know barrio ? because i used to live next to a brgy named barrio in abuyog... as for my knowledge, i know just enough to link those 4 cells together to produce a 12volt battery, i can assure you, i am not trolling im just a dumb Quebecer... but if SLA battery is the way to go, ill just...

  • Post in thread: Cannot understand this Chinese solar charge controller

    288 watts are going to the battery ? Holy Trudeau on fire batman, this will take forever
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    oh yeah .. it was between warm and hot.. but it sais 1000 watts.. and knowing that China tends to exagerate everything they sell.. im skeptical...
  • Post in thread: Cannot understand this Chinese solar charge controller

    Let's see the desktop PC uses roughly 100 watts for the apu and the SSD although the PSU (power supply unit) is rated to go until 1000watts, don't know if that is a factor, the monitor draws 50-70 watts so if everything pulls 170 watts I should have power staying in the battery, Nice try with...
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    up in smoke lol, classic movie.. i loved it because tommy chong is or was Canadian... can i not add 50 watts solar panel to the ups battery / shouldnt fry it... and it will add power to whatever is flowing to the sine wave inverter.. unless my logic hear is wrong again , i was going to add 4...
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    you are correct. there is a beam going from 1 wall to the other.. i did tap it.. it sounded like hollow metal... ... i have my cheapo ceiling fan attached to that..using a sticker hook.. no holes.. if you are suggesting that that hollow beam is connected to the ground somehow.. i will actually...
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    soo... solution is ? buy 2 or 3 charge controllers and attach a single solar panel to each charge controller ??? or can you suggest anything simpler for my rarely used Quebecois brain?
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    PLEASE READ... okay, need bms.. check.. but do i really need to buy 4 batteries and bms and cables and fuses ? just to run a pc and lcd monitor (and possibly a tiny fridge) during daylight hours ??? did nobody read the part i mentioned about trying to bring back THIS battery i have back to...
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....

    if you believe 48 volts is better than more storage capacity, so be it.. will i be able to use the same 3 solar panels that i insanely walked onto my roof next to my window ? 2 are 350watts and one is 400 or 450 watts... all 3 are physically different sizes...... sooo.. i need 4x 12volt...
  • Post in thread: few questions about solar power....
