[OpenWrt-Devel] ideal battery for solar nodes?

2014-05-23 Thread valent.turko...@gmail.com
How do you calculate ideal battery for solar nodes? I know that it depends on how much routers there are planned. But for example let's use solar node that has one nanostation nanobridge for unplink and picostation for AP. I guess that 50W solar panel should be enough, right? But how big should th

Can you specify the usage(in Watts) of these equipment you mentioned and voltage ? A 50W solar panel looks Ok, but you need to calculate the usage in Amps so you can find out how long the battery of that capacity can run without sun and you need the Watts and Voltage for that. Fernando On 23

Well, without the Watts or Current consumed it's impossible to make any estimations. Just a rough guess based on other people's usage as you mentioned below. Fernando On 23/05/2014 12:47, heini66 wrote: the wr741 is running with 5v dc. i talked to the user and he toled me, it is possible to

Depending on the type of node usage would be 5, 10 and 15W for three typical nodes. Hope this helps. -- follow me - www.twitter.com/valentt & http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com linux, anime, spirituality, wireless, scuba, linuxmce smart home, zwave ICQ: 2125241, Skype: valent.turkovic, MSN: valent
