Durable Laptop Batteries
Solar Battery bank and 2500 watt inverter
So I got the biggest inverter I could and it will be able to power everything i need in the event of an emergency. wish I could get more batteries but the best part of a home made solar panel set up is that one can add to it as the funds come in! by this time next year I’m hoping to have six to eight batteries and more solar panels! but i will not need another inverter! I will be putting my old inverter back into my Emergency Kit to use on the go! Stay Safe YouTube

How many watts is? your solar panel?
I’m new to this, but know a Fella that sells (1) VERY BIG? BATTERY/INTERSTATE for only $204.00 each! its like (2) of your batteries in (1)!:)
what do you mean? you can’t run 400 watts of solar panel through a 100 watt charge controller, it doesn’t work, same with you have to watch how much you are sending to each unit and then how much you are drawing, so explain yourself.
mijemu,, u should not? be giving out advice cause u do not know what ur talking about!!!!
linuxbox25 is right. It’s in parallel. One point everyone misses. It doesn’t have to be a brand new battery. You can get a used battery and get your system up and running and then over the course of time you can replace them with newer ones. Sure it may not be pretty, sure you could get a battery with a dead cell if you aren’t careful? but it’s going to be cheaper if you are careful and wise in your purchase at the ole junk yard.
dude, those batteries are not in series…lol. parallel? man.
I think the inverters have a watt limit so you cant just run 12 panels through a single inverter, i saw a decent inverter on amazon.com said it would handle 425 watts with all the other 12? volt of course but other inverters said they would only handle 100 watts so I think you need multiple inverters or just a better inverter.
I really liked the basic start up info. I’m thinking of doing it. is $300 a good price for a 2500 watt inverter. where? did you get the panel and charge controller?
Nice setup, but it looks like you’ve got smaller battery cables for the inverter.? If you do want to pull full power from it, it’ll be pulling more than 210 amps at 12 volts. Usually, you’d use 4/0 cable for something like this. If you’re only going to use around 1500 or so, though, 2/0 would probably work. If you’re not running a whole lot, though, what you have is probably fine.
Thanks for the comment. We went on a road trip to Key West, didn’t want to pack a bunch of ice chests/coolers in our conversion van so we installed a apt. sized frig, microwave, bought 2 car batteries, and a 1500 watt inverter. It held? a charge for 12 hrs, keeping the frig cold, seafood frozen and heated dinner/coffee/etc. during the trip. We had a battery charger so when we stopped at parks we charged back up, otherwise we charged off the alternator on the road. Just info for people that care.
what would be need to run? a fridge for 24 hours. would i have to buy a number of bateries and keep changing them over.
ok so lets say i had a fridge a fan and a heater that i wanted to run all day. What i would do is use four car batteries plus the converters for say 12 to 16 hour then take those four batteries out to cool down. And plug four different batteries in for 12 to 16 hours. And keep repeating the cycle for lets say two months would that work.? Some one let me know please
Can I get the brand name of your converter, is it modified or pure sine wave?
Also, what is the brand name of your? battery charger?
Thanks a million.
you should find a battery box for your batterys. incase they leak they wouldn’t leak all over your? bench.
just a thought
How? many watts are your solar panels
That also significantly prolongs your battery? life as well.
hey make sur you? space your batteries apart 1 inch to allow even cooling. Batteries do not like heat and operate and charge more effiently when cool.
How much does that inverter pull by itself? I have read where? some use 40+ watts just the inverter. Also what panels do you have with that setup? Great vid btw
the batteries? are connected in parallel not series
What kind of panels and battery bank would i need in order? to run a fully equipped 1000 sq feet grow house for 12 months? I need to know best and worst case scenario!
I wanted to add we use just a 1500 w inverter, enough to run the small frig, tv and computer, and fire up the 600 watt microwave for several minutes as needed. We never had problems. The 2 car batteries are more than enough to run all this for a while, even overnight. We traveled over 2000 miles and tied the battery bank into the van’s alternator for recharge, never had a problem. We slept in Key West,? our food in the frig never melted and our fan never went off, Jimmy Buffet would be proud! lol
Hi, we’ve been doing this for years, two regular car batteries(w/inverter) will run small frig for about 12 hours, a computer with a 19′ monitor/tv, grandkids playing video games nonstop, about 4 hours. A laptop? forever! Running a 600 watt microwave, enough to heat food and coffee? on a road trip, all you need. don’t try to cook; not enough power in the reg. car batteries to last that long. But the heat and eat stuff works well. I hope this helps, realtime experience.. good luck!
Look for good batteries? in 18 wheeler junk yards.
