does this battery last im planing on buying seen them on walmart for 45
bucks?
How much was all this and where did you buy it??
I wish I had seen this when I owned my home. I want to set up a solar
battery system to power a pump for a small water fountain or two. I have
one now, is a 120 V~ 60 Hz 5.5 W 0.1A pump. I’m sure it would be a smaller
scale setup. ?
WOW the simplest and most easy to follow video yet
Thanks for that I liked it. I can go to all the other guys for the tech
bull but come back here to make it in common sense?
I’m still learning about solar, what keeps the battery bank from
overdrawing? ?
Which Group size of battery is best, also is it worth it to pay more for a
maxx battery with 2 year warranty versus the cheaper one with only 1 year
warranty??
I got a battery operated scooter which got 48v 8amp li-ion battery and it
charges up from main grid via a charger which takes input of 130 watt at
220 V and outputs -56V,1.8amp…Inconsideration to above informations I
would like to use the smallest possible flexible solar panel with this
device (i will mold/stick the solar panel on the seat of the scooter) with
the easiest possible way.Can you please guide me what sort of solar panel
would be the best to approach with specification?
Update : I want a built in solar panel on my scooter?
can we use the deep cycle battery while its charging from solar panel??
I would like to do a setup for my new chicken coop which does not have
electric. I want to be able to run a couple of lights . How do I know how
to set the panels to get the best light. ?
I heard that using batteries from forklifts or golf carts would be better
and last longer. Thanks for the video though, very informative and cleared
up a lot of things for me! Two thumbs up! ?
There should be educational systems everywhere teaching this stuff. Thanks
for sharing your knowledge so people can learn better ways to do things.?
So, how many watts/volts does it take to sustain a full equipped home. i.e.
Fridge, two freezers, TV’s, cooler, etc. etc.?
I have a quick question. I have two scooter batteries that I hooked up to
a 700 W Power inverter, but when I make the connection to the inverter it
makes this nasty whining sound, Any idea of what it might be? the
batteries are 55AH, 12V?
101Ah for $75. Damn here in Australia batteries cost way more than in the
USA.
For instance $75 USD is like $81 AUD. But the cheapest 100Ah batteries I
can find in the country are like $185 AUD. This is why I haven’t gone solar
because the batteries cost so much here.
Solar Panels themselves don’t cost that much here. I can get for instance a
200W solar panel for about $230 which I consider to be pretty good. I don’t
know what you would pay for a 200W in the USA though. ?
Did you buy your charge controller from Harbor Freight??
Finally, a simple and accurate explanation of how this works and how the
connections should be made. It was really nice the way your video showed
the connections from start to finish, in that order. Your the only person
who had enough sense to simply followed the wires back from solar panel in
order from connection to connection. I am not sure how the the other
video makers even got their stuff to work based on what they were trying to
explain, so thank you for getting it right, making sense and putting and
end to cycle of stupidity I had to endure. ?
diy solar system consists of panels, inverter, two car batteries in
parallel, charge controller, and a digital voltmeter?
How much would a solar system for small cabin cost to set up??
great video short n sweet right to the point thank you man?
Very nice and easy set up you got going on there desertsun02! I plan on
following your solution but with the renogy 100watt panel and the solar
controller they sell with it too. Just wondering, will this solar kit and
two deep cycle 12 volt batteries be able to power one pump that draws .23
amps over night? How about two of the same pump? Cool channel also by the
way…you got a new sub here, thanks for the shared information.?
could I power a mini fridge off this its uses 110 watts with 115 v ?
Pretty cool. Thanks for simplifying this.?
How much money for the equiptments??
What type of wires did you use? I have a 200w panel I’m hooking up to two
115 ah batteries. Thanks in advance. ?
I have a question that i cant seem to find the answer to on youtube that
maybe you might be able to. Im doing some research on everything eco when
it come to home building, and ive recently gotten into ac/dc powered
fridges and freezers, all of them state the you can purchase a solar kit
with it but what I am trying to figure out is how one of them works
considering i know nothing bout ac/dc batteries. When using ac/dc batteries
with something are you having to remove the battery, charge it, and then
replace? or can a solar panel be directly wired to the appliance itself to
constantly recharge the battery??
