@jamesc426 check out my website and i have pics there thats shows.
@arunfemin start with an 80watt or 100 watt solar panel and go up from there if its not keeping up and or add more batteries
Hi I have an(1000VA) inverter which runs in 12vDc I would like to change the battery to 200AH deepcycle and connect a solar panal system to charge it,infact I dont want to connect it to the grid to charge the battery the question is what shuld be the charging voltage and current for the charger controller as we consider the day light is only for 6Hrs to get the power out from solar cells,what capacity the solar panal shuld have…Thank You
Anyone interested in this sort of thing, I’m interested in putting something together for a small house at the jersey shore.
@jamesc426 what he has done i connected the 10 batteries together by having 5 banks of 2 6volt batteries making 12 volt and the way he has connected the rest is by connecting negative to negative and positive to positive creating the amps i have recently made a video about this have a look you might find it useful hope this helps
dude thats sweet where did you learn all of that?
Can you explain how you hooked up your batteries in series AND parallel? You hooked up 2 batteries in series to get your 12 volts, but then you just hooked up your other 10 in series? I’m confused how I combine the two..
you are totally right about how to hook them up i dis some research and worked out that the batteries should all have one wire going in to a single wire
do you have the plans for the charge controllers. I am looking into building some my self for some toys.
what is HHO?
Keep them good videos coming 5*****
5 batteries doesnt seem nearly enough to me if its all hooked up right… How many is standard? also, when I take the battery charger and hook it up directly to ONE battery it might say the battery is 58% BUT if I hook it up to another it may say 45% and another 79% but if I hook the battery charger to the pos of the 1st and the neg of the 5th it has a 89% so it confuses me to no end.
it doesnt. It was very plain that I had to guess at it. The inverter is brand new and used for 2 days now.
Ya sounds like everything is hooked up right. I would guess that for the inverter as well. what does the manual say for those 3 post
also, i have the battery charger/maintainer the same way. 1st battery has the pos. and the 5th battery has the neg. Is that right for starters? Do I need to hook up ALL 3 terminal systems in the back of the inverter? If so, do I follow the same thing? all three pos going to the 1st battery and all the neg to the last battery (5th)? Thank you so much. I am trying to get this system in order before I connect the wind gen. wires to the system. Also, would I do the same for it? THANK YOU
the inverter is brand new. all the batteries are 12v marine deep. The inverter is also a sine inverter. I redid the batteries as follows. pos to pos all the way thru the 5 with each battery jumping to the next. one of the things that is confusing me is that the back of the inverter has 3 seperate pos and neg. I had all three going to the first 3 batteries. I now have it with only ONE set of wires from the inverter and going to the FIRST battery (pos) then the last battery the NEG.
are your batteries 12v or 6v. if there 12v then all + should be together and all- should be together. also you inverter, solar and wind should be hooked up on same post on the battery bank. kinda sound like a bad inverter or you are pulling a big load from your batteries. what are you trying to run
Also, i am running 1 30 amp charge controller and 1 7 amp controller both connected to the solar kits. I then hookied up the inverter to a off grid fuse box. Everything works and I get electricity BUT it drains FAST. I think I dont have the batteries hooked up right. I think I am draining too quick., I have NOT hooked up the wind generators yet either. I have a battery maintainer/charger hooked as well and a 1250 generator (gas) could you help me in what am i doing wrong please?
HI could you help me as I as so confused at this point. I bought 2 400 watt wind gen. and 2 60watt solar kits with 5 deep cycle marine batteries. the 5000/10000 watt inverter I have has 3 positive and negative posts (that connect to the batteries) I basically jumped the batteries in order 1 goes to 2 which goes to 3 and up to 5. I then took 3 cable sets and went positve to negative on 3 batteries and went to the 3 posts on the inverter but it drains very fast. What am I doing wrong? Help.
Thanks for the reply,
I put a volt meter on it today, spinning it by foot I got 14v DC. I guess the next step is removing the weighted fly wheel and trying to find the most efficient blades. What do you recommend?
It sounds like its good. does it say DC voltage on it or can you spin the shaft with a volt meter on it the wires. If it makes voltage it will work

Hey hooptejoe,
I found this treadmill in a field and pulled out the motor. The stats are:
Baldor industrial motor
1.5 HP
90 V
13.5 A
2400 RPM
Would this be a good motor for a windmill?
In the summer time I can stay off grid almost everyday, Winter time not as much because its usually cloudy so I need more solar
No I havent actually checked. Im not to worried about it. It will pay for itself quickly. I just wanted to not pay for electricity ever again.
