    Cheap Little Battery MONITOR - But How Good Is it ?

    Now the Battery Should be fully charged according to the cheap and cheerful Battery Charger, left on overnight. I turn on the cheap and cheerful battery monitor and see a reading of 97% and 13.1V, I am pretty sure the full charge capacity of the AGM is 13.4V in output voltage. 13.1 V is...

    Cheap Little Battery MONITOR - But How Good Is it ?

    I plugged a Charger in and got this, took about 3 mins to get to 100% - in retrospect I should have simply disconnected the charger when the 100% mark was reached and seen then what the Monitor dropped back to Anyway as the AGM battery needs a bit of charge I have left it charging. This is not a...

    Can run a small induction Hob Power Tools Laptops that have non standard Power Supplies, Chromebooks can be charged with any supply via USB-C but other laptops have dedicated power supply blocks The Inverter I have also has USB Outlets at decent 2.1 AMP so that's good and they work regardless of...

    Box long gone, hopefully fuses have protected the Coils and PCB Components, didn't see any capacitors over blown, weird white semi liquid stuff stuck to the triacs (that's what I think they are called) guess it is some sort of thermal paste and cables off of them are for temperature monitoring

Sylvia is sold now thankfully, and I STUPIDLY connected the Edecoa Inverter the wrong freaking way round !!! SO to answer your...

    Cheap Little Battery MONITOR - But How Good Is it ?

    I bought this a while back on Banggood, as the Alpha AGM Battery is not in a Van at present I thought I would connect it up. I think it could be relatively accurate but to test fully I would have to charge the AGM to full then have a 1 amp draw or more to watch the battery capacity lessen over...

    VERY. I have since binned it, and the plug that came out of the nozzle was flexible, firm and solid in nature. I think it is a very good product. I was using the end of the tube to stick a piece of MDF to some unknown soffit on the Missus's buildings in order to fix a security camera external...

    Mixing AGM and Wet Cell Battery Types

    Interesting, I guess if top up is not taking them over 60% charge or they are dropping below 50% charge then doesn't do them any good. LEFT camera on and Wifi Hotspot leaving Van at mechanic's so mine are probably depleted, solar panel is probably only 100W (not measured yet) and although she...
