RE: I NEED POWER! - Skean Dhude - 15 July 2012 NR, If your were no so modest you would be perfect. RE: I NEED POWER! - NorthernRaider - 15 July 2012 i try, honestly i really try but its just so hard being so perfect in such an imperfect world ![]() Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror cause I get better loking each day. To know me is to love me I must be a hell of a man. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble but I'm doing the best that I can. I used to have a girlfriend but she just couldn't compete with all of these love starved women who keep clamoring at my feet. Well I prob'ly could find me another but I guess they're all in awe of me. Who cares, I never get lonesome cause I treasure my own company. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way, I can't wait to look in the mirror cause I get better looking each day To know me is to love me I must be a hell of a man.

RE: I NEED POWER! - NorthernRaider - 16 July 2012 Not my words its from an old song, a really old thing like SD ![]() RE: I NEED POWER! - Hrusai - 16 July 2012 awh man, and there i was thinking you was a lyrical genius xD....i still think you should do that music video though xD RE: I NEED POWER! - 00111001 - 16 July 2012 Well, that was a pleasant surprise - I've just secured myself 2 * 20watt 12V solar panels for nowt! Hoping I can go pick 'em up tonight ![]() So now I'm on the hunt for leisure batteries! Would these be any good for the 40w 12v panels I'm getting? Obviously I need a charge controller etc. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-deep-cycle-battery-from-wind-and-solar-system-/180927044844?pt=UK_ConsumerElectronics_Batteries_SM&hash=item2a20179cec#ht_2344wt_80 Cheers ![]() RE: I NEED POWER! - Skvez - 18 July 2012 (15 July 2012, 01:16)WetandCold Wrote: Good reply if you’re ok with missing the point fully, ok so you did test good for you, can you tell me how my batts manage to recharge and continue cooking, boiling, lighting, running stereo and TV all though the winter (daylight) monthsW&C, not trying to be confrontational, I was in a grumpy mood when I posted, sorry. Solar panels still perform in daylight but at a greatly reduced rate. If you solar is big enough and your load is small or infrequent enough you can (as you have shown) run a useful system in daylight. However the fact remains that the winter output of solar is very small compared to the rated output of the panels. Although you haven't stated size of your solar panels or your load I was left to assume that in your case the batteries fed most of the load for the probably short time you had it on and then the solar slowly replenished this power over the rest of the day. WetandCold Wrote:You said although I cannot find the post now? That you cannot cook on solar setup and I disagree as I do so all the time, did you delete that reply or have I got threads mixed up?I don't know what post I said that on, I didn't delete or edit it but I probably did say it somewhere. I should qualify: Running a typical kitchen cooker off solar would require a system that is probably well beyond the budget of most preppers, however there are small cookers that could be run off a reasonably sized solar system. Can you share what cooker you are using? I certainly agree with your point that there are too many people who post personal opinion as though it were fact. I do not consider you one of these.
