Red Bricks as New Battery/Super Capacitors (yes, those red bricks used in construction)
I think this is a very very long ways off... Just weird stuff in the news: https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2020/08/12/Red-bricks-can-be-charged-store-energy/3371597230981/ Famous last words "in…1 · -
Re: ah or kwh
One of the things I try to do here is avoid "generalities". It is hard to have a "feeling" of what 3.3 kWH per day vs 33 kWH per day is... I may start with some generalities on ho…1 · -
Re: Off-Grid Barndominium inverter suggestions
Can turn into a very interesting project.... From what little I know, you may have drift issues with Hall Effect Transistors (open loop type). And be aware that you are not measuring "DC current…1 · -
Re: Off-Grid Barndominium inverter suggestions
For Lead Acid family batteries... Voltage by itself is not very accurate at estimating actual State of Charge. The "better" Battery Monitors typically use a shunt resistor in the negative l…1 · -
Re: Off-Grid Barndominium inverter suggestions
Modern Integrated charge controllers/AC inverter/and even some BMS equipped Li Ion batteries do that--And are even Internet connected (data, configuration, alarms). Another option is that some charge…1 ·
