    Battery capacity tester

    I have the ZKETech EBC-A20, Today It died after 2 years Exactly after purchase. I have Used it Continously for that time, im on the fence if to buy it again or look for another brand. I need: 12v batteries, program charge and discharge to a graph in PC. so its for Cycling testing.

    Recomended Energy Analyzer Device?

    Hi, Yes. We need to see and record the Kva and Power Factor. We already have the emporia. No use for our application. we need to measure the irregularities.

    LargeVoltage Sag , Transformer issue?

    Hi Guys, Going back to consider the Idea of using the AIO Solar inverter as UPS (90-140v) 10ms transfer time. since the 3 tons A/C brings down the voltage from 195 (L1-L2) to 140V, in theory, the UPS Should kick in at 180v, as soon as the 3ton ac kicks in and supply the 240v from the inverter...

    LargeVoltage Sag , Transformer issue?

    Was thinking about a low Float of 55Volts constantly, but the remote location is used probably 6 days a month. maybe just save the hassle and low Float. (No PV for now) the power grid goes down a few times a day for 1 hr, so the chargeverter will be power cycling.

    LargeVoltage Sag , Transformer issue?

    thats a great idea. Do you use a contactor? is the Dry contact 5v or 120v?

    LargeVoltage Sag , Transformer issue?

    Great. Just to make it clear. if the chargeverter is connected to a Breaker. when the breaker is turned on, the chargeverter will immediately start charging the battery w/o any other input?

    Severe voltage sag under heavy load

    So, what is the Question? is the Voltage Sag to 2.7v @ 2.5C Normal? Well, Asuming you are using 24 Cells, that would give you 64.8v @ 2.7v In My Experience, yes. completely normal. 64.8v should be ok for a temporary load on the motor. these cells are meant for <1C discharge. above that...

    LargeVoltage Sag , Transformer issue?

    So, going the route of Double conversion with Chargeverter. Need help with the Math. House draws 10Kw with all loads 2X Chargeverters will supply 10Kw to the 48v Batteries how big of a battery 48v would I need?

    LargeVoltage Sag , Transformer issue?

    Yes, thats correct, currently its costing $400 the weekend to run the Genset. SHould be less than half on Grid power. Chargeverter is a great idea, kind of double conversion? How many would I need, 2 per house? to make 10Kw?

    LargeVoltage Sag , Transformer issue?

    Thanks for the reply, we are in a Banana Republic, the power Company does not and will not fix anything! We are on our own. Currently we have to run the 45Kw Genset 24/7 when we are onsite.

    Car battery back up

    Old Thread, But let me pitch Inn. CCA was made for Lead Acid Batteries. Because, lead batteries have real trouble mantaining the voltage high enough during and long crank. Much worse below Freezing. Now, Lithium come in many chemistries & Flavours. If you get a high discharge >6C Continuos ...
