[quote author=CharlesPhc post=46759907] Very good observation on the beeping sound. I pulled mine off completely so i dont hear the sound of the ups beeping. I didnt mention fridge as part the appliances to connect Then i also mentioned a 1200VA ups for connecting more devices Great!!! Thanks a lot for this piece, waiting for the follow up thread on the webcam DIY series, I will give you a call when I get back to PH, currently out of town. |

Watch out for the next topic 'Security Concern, How to Convert an Old Web Cam and PC into a powerful CCTV that can record and play back feeds. You can monitor movements in and around your home or office in real time. One good thing about the Web Cam is that it's not easily noticed (hidden). Intruders may not notice you are watching their movements until they are caught or you call the Police. If the intruder denies, you can replay the video clip as proof. |

CharlesPhc:How much does the Silver calcium batteries you have cost? Can one get a 100ah deep sealed for 20k?
|
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by CharlesPhc: 1:23pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
1231awa: Not exactly. 100Ah deep Sealed in Port Harcourt goes for about N40k. I also recommended a 38Ah (keke battery which is readily available anywhere you find a keke shop) x 2 = 76Ah for N20k (N10k each) |

CharlesPhc: Sir. I love what ur doing. pls if I eventually get one for myself how long can I charge it with a generator set? ( I have I pass my neighbor o! Lolz). I saw 5 mins in ur write up and I was like let me confirm |
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by CharlesPhc: 3:13pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
omejeo: Online on konga.com or Computer Village in Lagos. I heard there is a WisperPower Battery Charger |
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by CharlesPhc: 3:19pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
mkbessman: While setting up the device, i wanted to know how long it would take to charge the batteries with just the UPS. i discovered with a digital metre that it might take several days before a 38Ah battery would be fully charge so i had to introduce an external battery charge and when i did, it took just 5mins to hit maximum charge. Although this could be depending on the drain level so you could charge for more time after complete drain. |
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by mkbessman(m): 3:42pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
CharlesPhc: tnk u so much. so I go with the 5mins with the introduction of the external battery charge. kudos! |

To everyone who have visited this thread and read this post, I appeal to you for just one thing, try it out carefully on your own, its a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) project. If you have any question, call me on my contact +2348059985262 (as many have done already) and after you succeed, come back here to testify if it worked or not so others can learn. If it works, then we can all help each other in reducing excessive reliance on PHCN and PMS to power our generators 24/7. Secondly, as someone rightly said, “Necessity is the mother of all inventions” this could lead to a more refined and sophisticated invention that could provide an alternative and sustainable means to fuel/power conservation/ utilization in Nigeria. I hereby challenge anyone who is more experienced in alternative power backup to first try it out and then come here to trash or approve its workability and or improvement. If young people in other climes are helping to make things work better, we in Nigeria can do much more if we try. Finally, let me use this opportunity to thank everyone who complimented the idea here on NL and from those who called and to also emphasis in all clarity that I posted the thread (and will continue to post more threads) with no intention of selling a product or making extra money for myself but to sell an idea to anyone who would dare to take up the challenge and do something different. We all need to help one another from the current power and security situation in the country. Thank you. 7 Likes |

CharlesPhc:Can this external charger comfortably charge a 100ah battery and above? From it's specifications it says the maximum charging amperage is 7a. Pls clarify us on that sir... Thanks.

Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by CharlesPhc: 12:31pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
1231awa: Yes, it can charge any amperage of battery. If you check the pic of the one I'm currently using, it says 10amp on the surface but I have used it to charge 100ah and it worked perfectly. |
Re: Poor Power Supply: How To Generate Your Own Power from an Old UPS...!! by CharlesPhc: 5:51pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
Thanks to everyone who have called to share their feedback on the work-ability of this DIY project. I wish you can also share on this thread so others can learn from your experiences and what different idea we can also add to make power generation in the country affordable and less dependent on PMS. |

Meanwhile, watch out for the next DIY thread on Security Situation in the country and how to convert an old Web Cam and your PC into a CCTV Surveillance system that can play back, zoom in and out to capture faces of intruders, tilt Camera for proper ,otion detection etc. Its a very simple project and all you need are your PC (desktop/laptop), Web Cam, and Cables. You can connect the Camera even to distances up to 150ft away from your PC and monitor movements around your vicinity that far. |
