Hi guys! For this Time Lapse I hiked up to an elevation of almost 7000 feet above see level for this view! There was no color correcting or editing done to this in any way. My gopro snapped over 12,000 photos for this time lapse. It did shut off on the start of the third day even though the battery was full. Anyone know why that is occurring? I would like to start doing week long time lapses! M...

How to charge your laptop off a 12 volt battery bank in an RV LIFE
Просмотров 25 тыс.5 лет назад
In this video i detail how to run your laptop off a 12 volt battery bank direct. In this manner you don't have to convert the power from 12 volt DC ( the battery bank ) to 110 AC ( for your laptop power charger that plugs into the wall) , and then back to 12 volt DC so the laptop can accept it ( all laptops run on DC or direct current anyway. This is exactly what would happen if you use the sto...

My Homemade RV Solar System 500 watts 6 batteries with MPPT Charge Controller
Can a inverter also be going bad ? can it start drawing more power than it used to for powering the same load ???
Looking at getting one of these
Its always that number 6 !
How to buy that I would live in that if it were mine
Thanks for leaving everyone hanging. You used a Midtronics tester but did not take the time to explain what the tested is and why you used it..
It's versus, not verse. Who Tee Hoo on RUclips also just says 'verse'.
Good video. Thank you.
The link is not working?
Nice video ! One question i have a similar set i have 6 batterys 12 volts agm 100ah each im not sure what the absorption time should be for my battery bank i have it now absorption voltage 14.5 for 1 hr and float to 13.8 ?
Your float voltage is good, but your boost voltage looks a little low to me, can you raise your boost voltage to 14.6 or 14.7 ? My Renogy solar chargers come preset with a boost time period of 2 hours for Sealed lead acid / AGM.
I'm curious how long did these batteries last you? Was it worse or better than other kinds of batteries?
Such good advice, wow, I never thought of this, thank you so much for sharing :)))
I did this exact setup but the red cable of the 12 volt outlet melted around the built in fuse and the laptop charger was getting really hot. The Voltage is at about 13.2 volts right now and the laptop charger accepts between 12-24 volts. I’m not sure why this is happening. Maybe the 24 amp hour battery is supplying too many amps. Not sure how to limit that.
did you find the answer, I was planning a similar setup
I'll make a video about it and give some recommendations. Basically I replaced my 90watt 12 volt laptop charging adapter with a 65watt adapter and things stayed cool enough to comfortably power my laptop
use good wire for DC current, because DC current will hot your wire soon, that why asked your nearest shop you need a wire for DC voltage,
I've got a 66 travco 270 with a 318 small block. It's a total piece of junk but I'm trying to restore it. I need to completely rewire it before I'd feel safe driving it. None of the lights work properly.
So if my 24v agm solar battery bank stays at 27.6v basically float mode most of the day are my batteries ok ?
how can i test if i only have a volt meter and not a cca meter my 4 12v agm batteries reach 14.3-4 volts but seem to drain rather quickly
your batteries have low capacity, meaning they are warn out
@@joshwayop oh wow that comment was almost a year ago man I'm running on 16 120ah lithium lifepo4 battery cells now with another 8 277ah lithium cells coming soon
Great video. Very informative, thanks. Question... My laptop speakers run on ac power. Is there an adapter to run them on dc, or will I need to use my inverter? Alternately, are dc powered speakers available, or worth purchasing? Thanks again, cheers!
I like it. But the link to Amazon is invalid now. Could you please update the link? Thanks!
19.5v 9.23A ... but what is this device called. "converter" "rectifier"? ur link is broken or no longer available. im not sure why this is such a hard item to find. i was going to try using 24v (2-12v batteries) direct to the charging port on my laptop. but im concerned that it may harm the laptop. if i can rectify it to limit the charge to say 20v @10 amps , im sure that would be fine. this is not my field of know, so if someone who knows electronics could help... plz (plz no guessing for u trolls out there). i dont imagine u can take a 12v battery and get more power out of it but 24v should be able to be rectified. but i cant find any devices out there.
Great video! But my battery is dead in my laptop and still want to run it off car cigarette lighter like you. I don't have the battery connected, will it work directly off the car 12v or should I buy a battery or something else. I'd prefer not buying an inverter. My battery was 19v 3.42A but my car is 12v
i love it thank you so much I even got to watch it twice
I notice after a half a year i gotta tighten mine up
I need help, i need to run my laptop minimum 8 hours, i have the factory or default charger, which is 19.5v i believe, however i want to buy jackery power station is is posibble to plug in 12v dc output on car socket? If not what tools or adapter or inverter i need to buy, i have no knowledge in this things, will really appreciate who can help me
How did you get 3.07s into the D70HD?
with the battery testers i`ve seen they ask for the CCA to be entered, if you test a AGM, what value do you enter? is it just the AH rating of the AGM? Cheers... i think i have a similar problem to sort out
This is so good, why dose this not have more attention?
Hey there how did you get the engine inside the rv? Could you source the type of trolly systems please.
Remove front grille or whole body
Hey there how did you get the engine inside the rv? Could you source the type of trolly systems please.
Why did you have to tear the whole battery Bank down to do this, you could have just left it all connected, disconnected your solar panel and seen which one drained the most by the morning.
Keeping the batteries connected for testing will cause a sphere of influence on the bad battery. You will get a false higher reading on the bad battery.
@@Mountainrock70 oh yeah for sure, I didn't mean leave the batteries connected I just meant disconnect them and leave them where they're at.

Please help, I am about to go off grid in Ireland, electric company are too slow to connect me, main things I need to power are a laptop and a slow cooker. Green energy companies are crazy expensive, what system should be I be looking at????
I have generator power
Good
my laptop is already 12 volt on the plug that plugs into the actual laptop, the power supply for the laptop is 110 to 12 volt, can i just plug the laptop into a car battery since it is 12 volts and ommit any addaptors or inverters or what ever, say just with aligator clips as long as i get the polarity right? Bypassing the 110v to 12v power supply that came with the laptop?
I was going to ask exactly this question.
I'm your 100th "Like"! Congrats! This helped me understand why power inverters are used with DC systems and why I should buy DC-ready/configured connectors/chargers for things like my laptop!!
Did it sell
Product doesnt exist anymore
hi this might be a random question Im currently taking apart a solar set up from a van. I have everything taken out except the battery which still has some wires connected to it. There are two loose wires and two that go to the fuse box. The two loose ones were connected to the charge controller but I took the ends of the wires out of the controller. Will the battery electrocute me if I take a wrench to unscrew the wire? how did you do that safely? My set up does not have an off switch. To disconnect the charge controller I covered the solar panels but I think there might still be some power left in the battery because the diesel heater still had its light until I disconnected it.
Only 1 way to find out
Did this sell?
Would this be the same for gaming laptop. Would using a 12v power source hurt performance
Laptops power supplies already convert the voltage to 12v, around so. The only problem is I don't how the amperage is managed.
Total aunt fanny. I dig it.
How long does it take to charge your laptop when it’s flat

Apparently, the amazon link no longer works. Any chance you could post an updated link?
here's another kind. www.ebay.com.au/itm/184362452588
Reverse polarity, that's why it's ready negative
Harbor freight sells a reasonably priced battery load tester. The old adage you get what you pay for. First thing you should do is redo all the connections on the clamps. They did a poor job of making those connections. With a load test all you need to do is remove one of the battery connections to open your string (load removed of course) then you can load test each of your batteries to find bad and weak batteries in your string.
Awesome looking Jeep Cherokee. I've always found this gen more attractive than either the XJ Cherokee, or the current generation.
A bad battery when charging will show high voltage. Leave them hooked up while charging and simply look for the one with higher than normal v reading. You can also load test to see which one is showing low voltage. Try this before completely tearing down your bank.
Good advice. You can also remove the load , then open the string by removing one connection on one of the batteries then you can use a load tester to check individual batteries. I like load testing better than voltage monitoring.
