Hey all,
I know 18650's are the preffered storage (I'm still harvesting these) but have sufficient Lead-Acid deepcycle batteries (from unused UPS replacement packs) to at least utilise the 100W (18v) panel and crappy cheap 10a PWM controller I have sitting idle.
So for now I've got:
4xRBC55 18AH (12v)
12xRBC43 5.5AH (12v)
Any suggestions on how to string the batteries together (still have all the 100amp fuses and Anderson connectors etc from the UPS) or what else I need to get up and running?
Initally I'll be looking at powering the shed, mainly to charge up tools or RC batteries as and when needed; pretty sure I've got an invertor somewhere...
Cheers
