Test, test, test

This weekend was fun, relaxing and also somewhat of a learning experiment. First, I am testing an extended battery hookup to a UPS to see if it will stretch the operating back up life of a 350 watt UPS. with the help of a local Batteries+ dealer we tried a 32 amp Gel Cell battery and walla a maybe 30 minute back up went to a 3 hour back up and I used the computer during this time period. next up a second battery and the hopes of a 6 hour back up. The computer draws about 250 watts.

Next up was cleaning my outside solar panels and freeing them from grass and dirt etc. I also performed some diagnostics on the batteries. Once again success and a solid 13 plus volt rating regulated coming out of the battery. at my office i have four lights all hooked into inverters and various batteries. My goal is simple, I have emergency power back up during virtually any power black out or storm. It is nice to know that when the power goes out I have lights both 12 volt and 110 and I can run my portable tv and radios. You might ask can I do this and the answer is yes! I sell 12 volt systems that can run 12 volt appliances for hours such as LED lights or small fans. You can check out my site for kits that I sell. You can also put a kit together with my help for specific needs. an example is a barn off the grid , you can depending on your needs easily light a 24 x 36 barn, I have done it! How about running a drill out away from power, I have done that too. There are many potential solutions for you but you must think about your requirements and know somewhat what you are trying to do then call me or e-mail me and I can assist you.

I am also now thinking of hurricane season fast approaching, almost every year thousands lose their power for hours on end. I say be prepared with a Green solution, no gas, no oil, just the sun and batteries and solar panels and you will have power. It gets pretty hot out there or down there in the south with no power, how about a few fans going for several hours, well it is possible.

Ok, more to come,more experiments to build, call me at 913-244-6132 for more information. Take care for now.
