Yet to hear from u bro
oga, you need 240 laptop battery which I just calculate above.

Ask any other questions

so remember that
p equal Current X volts

current equals power/voltage

1500 / 24 equals
62.5 amps

we need 24v 62.5 amp battery pack

if 1 battery is 1.6a.

62.5/ 1.6 equals 40 pieces of battery in PARALLEL at 24volts


IF 1 battery is 4.2volts.

how many battery shall we add to give 12volts ?
that's 3 battery in series.



how many battery we shall add to give 24 volts? that's 6 battery pairs.

my friend, you need 240 battery pieces.

40 X 6 TO GIVE 24 VOLTS 1500 watts
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 1:01pm On Jul 31, 2021
therefore
let us get the no of battery amp
needed.


power we need 1500watts
battery voltage needed is 12v or 24v. but lets use 24v. i have my reason.

battery power 1500watts
battery voltage 24volts

battery current is unknown ?
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 12:58pm On Jul 31, 2021
So we are building a 1500 watts power bank for him

we need to know how many of these battery he need.

fairly used 18650 carries 4.v 1.6a

i mean for 1 of laptop battery.

BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 12:53pm On Jul 31, 2021
alright we shall help our brother build his laptop powerbank virtually grin grin grin

building a laptop powerbank steps.

1. find out how long to power the laptop.

he said 15 hours

calculate how many watts it is.

1 laptop power is 66 watts for one hour.

energy consumed in 15 hours is

P equals 15 x 66 which is 990 watts.

approx 1000 watts.

now you cant use up all the battery
we need to add 30% as loss during charging or cable connections or heat.

so P is 1000watts + 300 watts
P is 1300watts.

we should make it 1500watts. to be balanced.

Please who is your 18650 battery cells plug?

Does he also have the 32700 LiFePO4 spec.(shown below) ?
those battery are good. I go with watts popular also.

18650 is popular and you can buy them anywhere.

But this 32700, I don't have a seller.

Use jumia or other ordering sites to find sellers for it.

Good morning
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 2:52pm On Jul 18, 2021
Let me know if it's clear
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 1:17pm On Jul 18, 2021
So our car battery of 12v 100a which is 1200 watts can only be used of half of it's power.

From our initial calculation,

We need 400 watts to run laptop for six hours.

So if we have 600 watts of battery available, to that should definitely do.

Remember that solar panels are rated in watts too.


My personal rule is multiple the watts of your panel by 3.

For example, 100 watts panel will supply 300 watts power in sunlight.


That's for 1 hour of sunlight.

So an 100watts panel can charge your 12v 100a battery for 3 hours.
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 1:12pm On Jul 18, 2021
So if you build or buy a 600 watts battery.

If it's a deep cycle battery, only 300 watts is available.
WHY?

For the battery to last.

This is known as depth of discharge.
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 1:10pm On Jul 18, 2021
The law of efficiency is that you can't use all the power in a battery.

Any kind of battery.

For lithium (laptop battery)
You can only use 80%

For car battery 50%

For deep cycle battery 50%
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 1:07pm On Jul 18, 2021
Now to calculate how many panels you need,

Start from your proposed battery capacity.

To power a laptop for 6 hours

Look at the laptop charger. Usually 19v 3.5a

Power = V x I
So 19× 3.5 = 66.5 watts. This is just for one hour.

So for 6 hours we have

66.5 x6 = 399 watts.


Now a 12v battery is sometimes 12v 100a

Power from battery is 12×100 = 1200watts.

I notice something LOOK INSIDE

When you publish both Kindle and Paperbck, Look inside is not an issue, it shows up in no time

But

Publish just a paperback, like coloring book or notebook, omo Only God Knows when Look Inside will show up

my question, Can someone buy a book whiteout seen what the interior looks like?
yes

How many panels do I need. We shall calculate this in a moment
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 3:00pm On Jul 17, 2021
Panels are mostly connected in series.

So that we use a normal wire.

Try to add up in series so that we won't need fat wires.
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 2:58pm On Jul 17, 2021
Solar panels are rated by volts and watts.

E.g 18v 80 watts
And so on.

Now Series connection is address adding voltage together. 12v + 12v = 24volts.


Parallel connection is 12v 5amp + 12v 5amp = 12v 10amp.


This mean that in series connection we add the voltage . But in parallel we I ncrease the current.
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 12:04pm On Jul 16, 2021
Next we shall make on to the connection
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 6:16pm On Jul 15, 2021
We have two types.

Monocrystalline panels
And polycrystalline. They work the same.

But mono is more expensive.

Panels are rated in 12v .
Higher watts panels are rated 24v.

See pic of both panels types.

BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 6:14pm On Jul 15, 2021
Panels are graded in 10watts , 20 watts, up to 280 watts.


For a start, get one panel. Atleast. We should be charging our battery from the sun.

That's why we call it solar system.

Start with a 100 watts panel
BusinessRe: My Solar Set Up Journey After A Year. Very Cool by eliok(op): 6:03pm On Jul 15, 2021
So let's talk about panels.

Solar panels is graded in watts.

It's. Usually have vmp= maximum voltage

And Imp = current.

Remember that power equals voltage x current.
