spartacus11: Boss please i still need some more explanation on this if i need 12v system from dis battery that will be 3.7-4.2 (3s) 11.1-12.6 at full charge
Lets say i need 80ah or 100ah how many pieces of this battery will i get lets say its 2000mah per piece.
mahkanjuh: Please, can you explain this your set up and the what's the total capacity Explian better please
45- 18650 cells in total (norminal volt per cell is 3.7 and 4.2 when fully charged)
3, 15-18650 cells connected in parallel are connected in series. 3s 15p to make 12.6v = 4.2v * 3s
Each 18650 cells capacity is between 3000-2600mah
15p * 2600mah = 39000mah = 39ah
3s bms board to manage the charging and discharging of battery cells, thus I can easily charge with any good 12v charger eg cheap Chinese solar charge controller
Because I have not really tested it's full capacity I rated it 27ah+, but have ran that QASA standing fan on full for 8hours (24watts) .. only for the battery to drop to around 12.4.
akefemi: Please what would be the output difference if I use 3 150watt panel and if I use a 300watt +150watt panel. Also will getting a higher amp solar charger improve the charge time?
No real significant difference, the main reason why 150 watt *3 is recommended is because, you may not find an higher watt under 12V, i.e a 300 watt solar panel will likely be 24v and won't be efficient if you using a pwm charge controller for a 12v system
but if you have a mppt which is way more expensive, you can use any kinda pv arrangement you desire.
coolangel54: I use mine mostly at night as I am virtually in the office Monday through Friday morning till 5pm except weekends. My appliances are: Hisense 32".............. 30watts Gotv...... I don't know the wattage Led Bulbs....... Don't know was well rechargeable Standing fan..... Intend buying one soon HP 15 laptop...... don't know the wattage o Please, what and what should I buy?
With the equipment above, you can get a 1kva ( inverter) incase you want to add more load, emergency or in future.
300 watt solar panel 150*2 panels
30amps charge controller
And a 200ah battery.
You will do fine, but if it's above your budget you can get a 20-30amps charger and a 150 watt solar panel if you do have power supply at times.
donblanco: Hi,pls what if my total gadget load is 200watts from 7am -5 pm and 60 watts from 5- 11pm. What will I require and how long for it to be charged . Thanks.
.
Get a 450 watt solar panel A 200ah battery And a 1kva inverter.
In good sunlight while in use your battery should be fully charged under 5-6hrs
jiday4: How many hours will these set up last as per using it to run 32inch LED TV and DStv decoder plus 2 bulds
It's better if you can state the watt (consumption of those equipments)
But using my own practical experience, I run a load of 80 -100 watts (2 laptops and a fan) .. continuously during the day for about (8hrs). NB: battery is fully charged before using, while I stop the load around 5pm
And a celling single fan set at 1 and a 10 watt load continuously at night for 6 hours (I'm yet to kill the battery).
I just use the setup when on the move, I have another 10kva setup I used for full home stand by.
If you want to use yours for a long time, I will advise you up your panels to 300watts+ (if you use the load mostly at day time) or up your battery to 100ah+ if you use the load mostly at night time.
You can also upgrade both if you have the money, that's just extra 35k+
coolangel54: Good afternoon ALL. Please, I need help! I have been using MTN lumous box for six months now and its battery life is depreciating. Imagine charging the box and only getting 50% for a full day even without putting it on. I have called them and they keep saying same thing and I am tired already. Can anyone suggest something that I can use to power my Hisense tv 32", gotv and bulbs? I live in an area in Delta State that has been experiencing blackout for three years now without hope of power coming soon. I need something that won't tear my pocket, please. Thanks
Since you are already using MTN luminous, I guess you already know how to conserve power and you don't require too much.
150 watt solar panel (20k) 1kv inverter (cheap Chinese ones) (8k+) 30amps solar charger(4k+,) 40ah battery (16-20k+) (you can get 100ah if you still some money on your budget) (35 - 38k)
Total roughy - 55k.
This set up almost 180% better than your MTN luminous.
