Ano pang takip ninyo ng battery terminals after makabit ang wires ?

Naka-expose lang ba ?



@TristanWS

Yan ang gamit ng solar installer namin ever since nag start siya mag solar sa bahay nila. Di panaman pumapalya daw.

... meron palang uma-atake (DDosS attack) sa symbianize, kaya pala palaging connection timed out... (nabasa ko dun sa facebook).

sir bongbenitez... tumatagal pa ba ang re-plated car battery at magkano naman?

@blackthief

Its your decision.....we can only advise you.....
Replated ba iyan ?
Mabigat nang buhatin mo ?
May warranty dapat at least six months warranty.

Sa Partido ka ba nag aaral ? Taga saan ka sa bicol ?

sir meron po dito sa bayan namin 6SM MOTOLITE 100AH (di tubig ) siguro to P3,300 PESOS lang ito na lang kaya bilihin ko?

off topic, bakit po ang tagal magloading ang symbianize,minsan ayaw lumabas ,pero sa ibang site mabilis naman

@bongbenitez

brand new po ang 6sm motolite battery maintenance type
di po ako nag aaral yung anak ko nag aaral dito sa partido state u. ginamit ko lang name nya.. he he

taga goa ako..

... yung isang battery ko na dinadaan-daanan ng tao ay tinakpan ko lang ng plastic ang terminals para iwas short circuit... pero yung iba ay naka-exposed lang.

... mura na yan ah? halos 55% ang difference sa 100AH solar master... meron daw DDoS attack ang symbianize... sinasadya na i-offline... nabasa ko sa facebook.

 

[watusi2]

fyi....may darating na free seminar sa nov.22....

check nyo na lang po sa solar power philippines fb group

 

[bongbenitez]

Sir TristanWS,

I used discarded plastic packaging as covers.
3 versions.
See the pictures.

@bongbenitez
mga old battery po ba yan?mga ilang oras po nagagamit battery nyo?

Good morning everybody
I hope this Ddos attack on the website is over... These past days, each time I tried to answer I just got a "error 522" page
Have a bright sunny day!

.. ang sipag naman ng DDos attacker na yan... bakit kaya nya ginagawa yan?.... wala na tuloy mapag-tanungan ang mga gustong mag-setup ng solar power.

sir tanong lang po,sa set up ng solar panel 10 DEGREES tutok sa south po ba kahit saang sulok sa pilipinas,bicol area po,thanks po

Any angle between 9 and 12 degrees is fine!

Edit: wow I was able to answer without error 522

 

[TristanWS]

sir tanong lang po,sa set up ng solar panel... tutok sa south ... location: goa, cam sur - blackthief

... ang formula ay latitude x 0.87
goa, cam sur = 13.69 x 0.87 = 11.91 degrees
palawan = 10.09 x 0.87 = 9 degrees

... paano makukuha ang latitude?... Answer: use "Bing Maps", type your location... makikita ang latitude sa left side ng web page.

thanks po mga sir,

sir alin po maganda horizontal o vertical ang facing,yung sa akin kasi 100watts medyo pahaba

 

[TristanWS]

sir alin po maganda horizontal o vertical ang facing,yung sa akin kasi 100watts medyo pahaba

... from personal experience, pareho lang ang horizontal or vertical... mas importante ay walang shade or hindi natatakpan ng shadow ang panel.

 

[bongbenitez]

Kami no choice sa angle and orientation ng solar panels dahil we have follow the slant of the roof.
I added another 70watt solar panel to our daytime solar project.
Total watts/panels now: 370 watts - 3 panels, 2 pcs 150 watts and 1 pc 70 watt.
Max amps ng MPPT controller ay 390 watts.

Observations: 12Amps so far ang pinakamalakas na amps input na kita ko.

I still have another 120ah battery to add to the existing 3 120ah batteries.


BTW, visit olx.
Somebody is selling a Battery Desulfator.
May original may generic.

BENEFITS listed sa post niya:
*Increases Batt Power
*Extends Batt Life
*Batt Charge Faster
*Longer Discharge
*Prevents Sulfate Build-up
*Reduces Evaporation

Try ba ninyo ?

... sir bongb, pls check if typo errors... tapos 390 watts power is only generating 12A?... in theory, dapat ay 21.7A to32.5A (390w/12 or 390w/18) generated current range... because if it really 12A then 180AH (50%) / 12A = 15 hours or 2.7 days to recharge your battery (assuming 5.5 hours sun hours per day)... meaning hindi ka makaka-full charge sa loob ng isang araw or deficit charging ka?

... ang hirap pumasok sa symbianize, hindi pa rin nagsasawa ang DDoS attacker.

Dagdag kalat sa bahay. Puro na raw wire sabi ni kumander
17ah battery

10A Boscq SCC

Sir TristanWS,

Corrections… ngayon lang ako nakapasok dahil sa DDos attacks.

The 12A is just the meter reading I got when I posted sa Symbianize last time.
It is probably a battery current charging less or net of inverter/fan/dsl usage.
Its not the highest…there was 19A and 20A readings also after my Symbian post.

I cannot continuously monitor the charging…..may work kasi….so pag may chance lang…..
Be assured na on a sunny day…..mga 11am-12noon, nag bi-blink na ang battery indicator sa MPPT, a sign na nearing full charge na….and probably di umaabot ng 50% DOD ang daily use namin….kahit na may 2 hours 220v fan usage via inverter.

Max PV WATTS ng MPPT controller ay 390 watts for 12volt system.
So malamang di ko na puwede dagdagan pa ang 370 watts solar panels unless convert to 24volt system.

Here is a walk through of the MPPT meter.
I got these pictures this morning. It’s a cloudy day, whole day.

Indicator arrow is at the solar panel.
The meter’s first display shows solar panel voltage. It does not display the solar panel current.

If you press the right arrow button, indicator arrow is at the battery.
Here is the meter showing the battery voltage charging, and battery current charging – net of load usage.
If it is very cloudy or at night where there is no charging, battery current charging is a negative sign, meaning its showing load usage.

If you press the right arrow button again, here is the meter showing the load voltage, and load current. Only loads that pass the SCC will be included in the load reading…so if may inverter ka…..di iyan kasama sa load reading….but it will be a negative reading or deduction sa battery current charging

Sir Poseidon,

Gamit ka ng plastic conduit for electrical wiring para konti ang "lawit" na wires sa bahay.
Gaya ng ganito...parang P80.00 per 8 feet ata.

... ah ok, IMO, you don't need to add more panel, because you are "near full-charge" in just half day... anyways, meron ako nabasa na dapat daw na ma-full charge ang battery within 3 days, to prevent hardening of the sulfates... (but again, i think you are fine because you are doing equalization charging using a battery charger regularly).

therefore, para hindi na bumili pa ng desulfator, a regular equalization charging is a must.

 

[poseidon]

Kawawa naman ang 100ah ko kandidato na maging sulfated battery. Palaging kapos ang charging..

... hindi naman, i-adjust mo lang ang watt-hour ng load mo para bumaba ang depth of discharge (DoD)... halimbawa ay si ma'am TS, 150wpanel >360AH battery pero ang DoD ay 20%... 3 years na ay OKs pa rin ang battery... pero kapag palaging deficit charging, ang gamot ay AC battery charger para mapuno ang kulang.
