Hi, is that charger good for deep cycle batteries?
It looks like it's only for car batteries from my search. (maybe I didn't understand what I read)

So basically my question is, can chargers for car batteries be used for deep cycle batteries?

Alejobs:


My batteries are well over 1 year already and can't match them with a new one, I also run a 12v configuration....the odds are stacked against me


I am on a self learning curve too..... I have 3 pieces of 150watt panel connected to an mppt cc and I have another 160 watt panel I hooked directly to the battery bank without any charge controller in between. I occasionally use that to charge my 20v laptop powerbank and other 12v hand held batteries with some monitoring

Penuelseun:
Pls post a picture of the inverter

saint2ace:


GBM is definitely better than Croc, I've used both and I can tell u this without a doubt

My suoer 30a charger no longer working

Please, what could be the problems? It became so hot lastnight before it gave up the ghost

A radionic/repairer said it is the IC(if I am correct)

What could be the problem and solutions?

econome:
I saw this charger without casing on jumia.. Sold for N1,563..

odimbannamdi:


For his battery capacity (2 units of 100ah), what capacity of solar panels and chargw controllers should he have used?

Mine is a 100ah and i am considering something along that line. My major fear is mistakenly buying a modified sinewave UPS again, even though i now use a DC rechargeable fan. Does MSW UPs have adverse effects on TVs and sound systems?

Pls advise

temizeee:
hello house and good day please i need advice on a good rechargeable fan that can be use for a single room......maybe experience from current user can help too..thanks

Who can help me get a 650va ups without battery from Lagos to Benin?

Kampack:
Can anyone kindly recommend a durable, pocket friendly & good product, or seller for 12v DC Ceiling Fan?

CSNg:


To tell you the truth, I am as puzzled as you are because a day after writing that comment, I used a "small transformer" 1000w inverter and then tried my hands on a bluegate 600va UPS with the normal bigger transformer. I plugged a clamp metre while using both and compared only me to notice that the battery was draining faster with the inverter than it was with the UPS!

Quite confusing!

Does anyone know why?

zeanslim:
hello, I need 1kv+ APC UPS without battery the 12v pure sine wave version, or cheap pure sine wave inverter.

I'm planing to build an inverter on budget using 18650 li ion battery cells which I have began assembling.

I stay in Lagos if anybody have for sale.

Kampack:
Please has anyone here used GBM batteries? How durable are they?

Are they better than Croc batteries? Im torn between choosing one of the two. Kindly advice from experience.

Trippledots:


THE WAYBILL WILL MAKE THIS NON ECONOMICAL. JUST LOOK AROUND ELECTONICS MARKET AND ASK WHERE TO BUY USED UPS. ALL THOSE ABOKI THAT BUY SCRAP ELECTRONIS AND METAL MAY KNOW WHERE YOU CAN CHECK.

Trippledots:


FROM MY RESEARCH, THERE IS NO APC 12V PURE SINE WAVE UPS AVAILABLE. ALL PURE SINE WAVE ARE 24V.

zeanslim:


Thank you very much, can you tell me what specific model I should look out for, so I won't just buy anyhow APC ups thanks.

Happy Sunday to oga ceejay and all gurus on this platform, I need guidance on how to connect my newly acquired 250 watt monocrystaline solar panel to the exact type I've been using before

I have been using the same type for close to two years now with a 12v/200AH deep cycle battery +30A/12V-24V charge controller.

My set up is 12V, I can't afford to be buying two batteries for 24V system.

Trippledots:


IF THE CHARGE CONTROLLER IS A PWM CONNECT THE NEW PANEL TO THE OLD ONE BLACK TO BLACK, RED TO RED. IF ITS AN MPPT, MAKE SURE BOTH PANELS VoC IS LESS THAN THE CHARGE CONTROLLER RATING THEN CONNECT THEM IN SERIES. IE REMOVE ONE WIRE FROM THE CHARGE CONTROLLER; SAY POSITIVE WIRE, CONNECT THE WIRE TO THE NEGATIVE OF THE NEW PANEL, THEN CONNECT THE POSTIVE OF THE NEW PANEL TO THE POSITIVE OF THE CHARGE CONTROLLER.

Trippledots:


MSW UPS AND INVERTERS HAVE THEIR WORST EFFECTS ON INDUCTIVE LOADS ( IE DEVICES THAT HAVE COILS IN THEM LIKE FAN, MOTORS, BLENDERS, ETC). YOUR RECHARGEABLE FAN USUALLY HAS AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT THAT CONVERTS THE AC TO DC WHICH THE FAN USES SO YOU SHOULD BE FINE USING AN MSW ON A RECHARGEABLE FAN. THATS WHAT I USE TOO WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL. MODERN TV MOST LIKELY USE DC INSIDE THEM SO YOU SHOULD BE FINE TOO. SOUND SYSTEMS TOO

Trippledots:


LOL...ALWAYS CHECK THE PRODUCT SPECS FOR ITS EFFICIENCY RATING. MY APC 650VA UPS I GOT LAST WEEK FOR LESS THAN #6,000 DRAWS ABOUT 0.8A ON NO LOAD. THATS ABOUT 10W ON NO LOAD OH. BUT MY BATTERY IS A 180AHR CAPACITY PLUS A LITTLE SOLAR TO KEEP IT TRICKLE CHARGED DURING THE DAY TIME. SO I DNT BOTHER ABOUT IT.

ALSO WHEN NOT IN USE, I TURN THE UPS OFF.

Trippledots:


WHAT ARE YOU PARTICULAR ABOUT? THE 12V OR THE PURESINEWAVE OUTPUT?

IF PURESINEWAVE THEN ANY OF THOSE SMART ONES WILL DO. IF 12V AND LOAD WONT EXCEED 400W THEN THE ONE ATTACHED HERE WILL DO.

TAKE NOTE, SOME APC UPS HAVE INTERNAL TIMER WHICH SHUTS DOWN THE UPS OFTEN. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUYING ONE INITIALLY. I BOUGHT THE TIMER ONE AND I SUFFERED MEHN.

odimbannamdi:


Which smart one are u talking about, sir? 12 or 24v?

Sorry about the timer inconvenience. How do we avoid buying the ones with timer?

PS: Do you stay around Coconut bustop, Olodi-Apapa?

odimbannamdi:


I am guessing your APC 650VA UPS is MSW? How would i know what my Bluegate 650va draw as well?

odimbannamdi:


This was most enlightening, sir.

First pic shows the specs of my Qasa 18" rechargeable fan. Do you think it uses a DC or AC current? And would it be safe to use it with an MSW inverter/UPS?

Secondly, how would i know if my Smart samsung tv is DC? I googled out the spec (UE43KU6400) and found the pic attached. Can you tell whether it is DC or AC?
