Is there any kind of big battery solar power thing?


I am trying to describe basically a big battery that charges up during the day by solar panels outside and can be used to power lamps and phone chargers and whatnot. I want to start using at least some solar technology but I am only 15 and I do not have a house on which to place panels.

You could take a look at a product that has the battery and inverter combined. Then you can charge that with a solar panel plugged into the cigarette light adapter on it. Its small, so the lamp should have a CFL bulb in it (which you should be using anyway to save power). It’s nice to have for camping trips as well, we use this all the time.

How do I connect batteries to create a battery bank?


I have 4 x 110ah 12v batteries with standard terminals.
How do I connect these together to create a 12v battery bank of 440ah?
Also any suggestions on what sort of connectors / bus bars i need?
I was going to speak to an electrician but thought I’d try here first.
Also when wiring is it best to connect positive to positive, negative to negative. I need to keep 12v not 24 as my charger, solar panel and inverter are all designed for 12v.
Thankyou

You are right , positive to positive then negative to negative keeps you on 12 volts. This is parallel connecting.
Use a wire diameter that is much the same as what you find on a car battery in a car.

is it harmful to use regular alkaline batteries in my solar lights?


My solar light batteries wore out and I replaced them with regular alkaline batteries and the lights are “lit” at night. Is it okay or should I get solar batteries?

Alkalines are generally not rechargable, so after a few nights, they will be dead. Shortly thereafter, they may leak.

The best thing to get is batteries specifically designed for your solar lights. Before, this meant NiCd batteries designed to withstand high temperature. Newer solar lights may have a charging circuit that can handle NiMH. But if you see a NiCd battery in there now, that’s a clue that the charger is just a simple trickle charger, and will not charge NiMH well.
