I was commented to either get out of dodge or put in a solar system. They say it sounds like the commercial lines are bad and sending bad signals through my system reason why I’m losing bullets and now two grooves.
Solar systems would cost too much and I would have a huge risk of theft in the area. SO what do I need to free my self through a battery system.
Is there a way I can have a system charging a battery connected to the commercial lines than take energy directly from the the battery? So AC to battery charger and than battery to DC to DC?
If you mean powering your equipment from a battery that is connected to a charger, then yes.
I’ve been running my equipment off 12vdc batteries for about a year now. I use a smartcharger power supply to maintain the battery.
If you are having AC power problems you should have an electrician check it out prior to going to battery or run the risk of blowing out your power supply to the battery.
I had someone check the lines. Everything is all sunshine and rainbows till a storm comes through.
I was able to speak with a mikrotik/radios guy with 20+ years of experience. he said I had to free myself from the commercial lines. He said he was certian the culprit was a shock through the data lines. A UPS didnt help.
Can you shoot me a message with the product you use and specs of your system? I’m looking at meanwell product to put something together.
I’ve been using Iota DLS-15 http://www.iotaengineering.com/dls15.htm
I don’t remember right off the battery amp/hour specs other than it’s a sealed lead-acid 12 vdc.
If solar is not a option why not try a small wind turbine to charge your batteries, there is many designs out there but selection of one that will survive and tolerate turbulent strormy conditions is important.
If you had an UPS in-line and the issue is still there, I recommend upgrading all your cable to shielded.
As for batteries, if you are running a couple of radios, this may use 0.6Amp of current at 12V
If you need a back-up power supply to last for 24Hrs, then you need to times 0.6 x 24 = 14.4Amp, with most batteries, you can only use half of the capacity of the battery rating.
So I would install 30-40Amp battery storage, fit a battery charger, shielded cable, problems solved.
With the above in mind, all the batteries will need to be replaced every few years unless you use high quality expensive batteries. Same as UPS batteries.
