africanman85:oga, you need 240 laptop battery which I just calculate above. Ask any other questions |
you can purchase them near you. alieexpress is for those who cant get it cheaper where they are |
some of these charge controllers are on Alieexpress cheapest one i used when i started link click here moderate size controller link click here epever very nice one link click here

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 |
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 ? |
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.

alright we shall help our brother build his laptop powerbank virtually 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. |
africanman85:let's do the maths , I'm coming |
africanman85:if you are talking about the laptop battery, i buy them in pieces. #200 naira per piece |
mccben4:alright replied |
But here, I will do the laptop battery bank so that you will see. Step by step. |
zenith4biz:I'm planning on upgrading it. Waiting for the last item ordered to arrive |
Sapiosexuality:you pay for experience and mentorship. we are all busy. but here is how to start. get topics write the book do the cover for book edit all upload it to amazon repeat the process. can you do all these? you can message me - at - metaboltjobs@gmail.com |
It's been 2 days rainfall. Just enjoying the solar without noise. Wow! |
Hunkyimage: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. |
Fastlinkpro:Google is your friend |
Rossoneri01:yes it does |
Good morning |
Let me know if it's clear |
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. |
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. |
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% |
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. |
Fastlinkpro:yes |
How many panels do I need. We shall calculate this in a moment |
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. |
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. |
Next we shall make on to the connection |
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.
|
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 |
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.
