Here is some photos I just got of the 5 deep cell battery's got in the garage. I got the center small battery hook up with the left bigger battery they seem to work good together.
They were all working for maybe a year or more. Then started to leek water out the tops. So I guess it seen it as...
Got a Raspberry Pi power Meter and it's saying 622 watts of power using now as I type this. That can go up and down. So I guess that's about average. Furnace is not running right now but when it does it takes a lot of power.
Have 3 100 watt panels and 5 deep cell battery's.
I have them wires up like a line + to - and it at 12 volts.
Just have it so it powers my server.
But after time it was messing up the battery's. Looks like over charging them. I had to put more distilled water in them it would like bold it...
Wow I looked at it but says "Currently unavailable." So you just put your solar power on it and then plug it in some AC out left and it will send power the the AC plug with your power still on?
If so does it turn off if your AC power is off too so it will not go out of the house when line...
Is there a solar controller that you can hook up to your AC on the grid power so say you're using 200 watts of grid power and you got a hundred watts of solar power and then you'd only use a hundred watts of grid power and 100 watts of solar power so it shares the power not just one or the...
Watched a lot of YouTube videos off-grid solar power but it's hard to find on-grid solar power. I'm still not sure if they actually make something like that to share your power with the AC or not just one or the other to merge it,
I guess that's for most people not just off the grid people...
Got four 100 watt solar panels 12 volts but I set them to 24 volts so 2 of them make 24 volts. Then I got two 320 watt solar panels they are 24 volts. So that what power need to help grid power.
Something like 2 of these for each phase look on Amazon $21 for each "Puly Bridge Rectifier MDQ-100A 100A 1600V Full Wave diode Module one Phase with Radiator".
But wow I guess would have to keep with the 60 hertz from the grid so I don't think it's that easy just like you said couldn't resist...
It does not seem like that the ones I seen and YouTube and online always change it from one or the other from solar power or AC gride power but not both.
Hi I got the PowerUrus S12100 LiFeP04 when I seen the video from diysolar on YouTube and got it that same day for $400.
I power a little server with it. Just 12 volts to all things. Got about 10 External USB Western Digital hard drive on it.
It was working good but it was cloudy all day and...
I found out it needs a battery management system. That's because it can see one battery at 12 volts and other batteries overcharge because it seizes all his 12 volts but the other batteries can be over at 12 volts and mess them up.
This is a link to the solar charger controller I have. I got it because it can have a display going back to my room from the garage.
I guess the only way to hook up a lot of battery's is to up the voltage all the battery's added up. So then is then a step down to 12 volts not sure.

The photo just looks the same on the left and right. The wires are all connected still to - and + the same way. What does the length of the wires matter?
