24 volt bank with-12 +12 section 24 volt charging with a 200 volt pulser

We have 144 volt stand alone battery charging systems at BOTH our homes.

12 volts (2 x 6 volt batteries in series) Runs pretty much anything you could plug into a car lighter socket.

Yes, it's that 'car lighter socket' thing that keeps me at 12V!

24 volts on the house, 24 volts with 2 battery arrays on the shed along with a bank of 10 nife batteries hooked up for 16 volts. Also 12 volts for some of the shed gear.

A man cant ever have enough RE in my opnion

jzeveney · « **Reply #7 on:** April 22, 2008, 06:32:17 AM »

12 volts via 15 (2 x 6 volt batteries in series)

valterra · « **Reply #8 on:** April 22, 2008, 06:42:27 AM »

Yep! I can't see a reason for me to go to any other voltage, unless I could make 110 ac directly and store it in a battery. Let me know when they develop that. <wink>

Currently at 12v. Planning 24v -- have invertor and building motor conversion.

12 volt Can change to 24 volt if i find an inverter i can afford.

later

V (24 x 2V/500AH AGM) primary bank
V (8 x 6V/220AH flooded lead/acid) secondary bank.

12 volt dc on pv the house runs on 110 ac i think

bob g · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2008, 06:25:18 PM »

originally planned for 12 volts, only because i can keep my cable runs short

and my loads very small relatively speaking.

changed up to a 24 volt plan because of finding three propane powered telecom 6kwatt gensets at a price i could not refuse.

if i keep planning and not doing, heaven knows what i will end up with!

actually i think i have settled on 24 and will stick with that voltage.

two large D Batteries 12 volt going to 24 volt this fall or next spring. small solar hopefully putting in micro hydro next year

KEG · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2008, 09:30:54 PM »

Howdy Yall :-)

24 Volt = 140 1.4 V Nife batts series and paralell ( not done yet, more to go )

amph = I'm not smart enough to figure that one out.

I don't think the hot water solar panel makes any power !

snuffy · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2008, 12:46:39 PM »

400AH @ 24vdc, 1750w UPS as an inverter. Runs my shop stuff except the 1.5 hp motors.

snowcrow · « **Reply #21 on:** April 24, 2008, 04:37:48 AM »

I'm using 12vdc and small gas generator for 120vac.

24v with 2 arrays of agms 400ah main house kept charged by 880w of solar. 12v with 1 array agms 160ah in the shop addition kept topped off with a 108v dc turbine hooked directly to the bank via a diode. Oh yeah and 800 ah of 12v spare batteries.

kenny

seemed like a good idea at the time

SteveCH · « **Reply #23 on:** April 24, 2008, 06:41:33 PM »

12 v.

brianschanafelt · « **Reply #24 on:** April 25, 2008, 10:19:54 PM »

500ah lead acid, 12v, 1200w inverter runs computer, big screen, and lights no problem

on a hugh piggott 8' turbine
