You’ve got 34V panels and a charge controller made for 12V, 24V, or 48V…   How is that working?   Jason   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Lanham Rattan Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 4:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] ABO, APPO power consumption   I have (2) Shell SP150 panels, (1) Trace C40 with DVM, (8) 6-volt, (1) 24v to 12V convertor.   (2) APPO's, (1) Trango, (1) Switch. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 1:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] ABO, APPO power consumption I just tested a couple of AP Totals and they were drawing .37 Amps at 14.1 Volts. I found them more power efficient than expected, and calculated that a single 12V, 80aH battery would be more than enough to handle a few days of cloudiness and keep the depth-of-discharge to under 50%. You can look at the Concord PVX-690T AGM for about $120 or you can get a 12V lead-acid for under $70.   Jason Szumlanski   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Mark Koskenmaki Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 2:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] ABO, APPO power consumption   For those of us who're going to be using these on battery power (solar charged), actual current figures would be REALLY helpful.   Thanks       NEOFAST.NET North East Oregon FAST Net mark(at)neofast.net   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
