Good day Everyone,
I am going camping and I am rigging up a couple small solar power setups, I have a 12V 26AH Battery with a solar panel and appropriate solar charge controller. I will use this to charge a few 5V devices(Mostly cell phones for taking pictures and videos). Anyway that setup is...
The cable I am using is 2 gauge, see image. I can't figure out the ohms per foot. I found a table online that says its .1593 not sure if that's right
Also all the batteries are right next to each other, all the connections are about 20" long. EDIT**:10"
That's the thing lol to me it seems like its the same thing.
In case you don't exactly get what I am asking, look at this pic and compare it to the first one I uploaded. Would these 2 setups behave the same way?
Good day,
When dealing with AGM deep cycle solar batteries, is there a difference between the following two wiring methods?
By the way, I found these pictures online but they describe the two scenarios
Basically the two are almost identical but on one you are grabbing your positive and...
Thank you guys for all the great information. I had a feeling this was not the way to go but I didn't exactly know why.
Ok so the reason why I need a 24V bank is because the inverter I am installing is a 24VDC...
Good day,
I am adding a solar setup and inverter to an RV and have a question about how to design my battery bank
I will be using 6V AGM Solar Batteries. I need to make a 24V battery bank.
Problem is I only have space for 6 batteries. And currently I only know how to get 24V out of 6V...
The regulator chip did did begin to get a little hot so I did attach a small heatsink to it.
I am using it to charge a portable phone charger that itself is charged with 5V
Seems to work just fine now.
Thank you!
I had not thought about charging a battery pack. That might be better, it is not limited to providing power only while under the sun.
I will look at these examples in detail tonight when I get home
Thank you!
Good day everyone,
So I have a spare solar panel that has been laying around and I want to put it to use. Its a small panel, about 8"X12". The specs read 8 Watts and 17 Volts
I was thinking of maybe making a solar charger for phones and other 5VDC USB devices.
I bought a 5VDC regulator kit...
Lol yea it must not feel right. I just absorb material much better if I read it on my own. I've been told by a counselor that I have ADHD symptoms, I don't know if this has anything to do with it haha
Oh and yea, I'm not sure if you misunderstood me but I said that it got here to Cali this...
Thanks a lot, I truly appreciate all the info you gave me. I will look into the books and the online recourse you mentioned. I learn better in my own than in a class some times so this should help me start getting ready for what's coming.
P.S. I tracked my shipment and it says it arrived at...
Yea I want to go for a BS. I sort of knew Calculus was important but I didnt know it was That, important. But it does make sense, many times when I've tried learning about subjects in electronics I've gotten completely stuck because all I see are math(Calculus I'm guessing) symbols.
I'm about...
