12 volt room II

Video of my current 12 volt room setup showing the new batteries, updated power panel, iGo universal charger, laptop DC-DC converter, and the Xantrex C-40 charge controller.

I currently use a car battery charger to keep the batteries topped off but will be hooking solar panels up in the future

I have to agree, why have all this 12vdc crap??????? you need to go with a solar panel or wind turbine to charge that shit. Not charge it with your house power. throw a power inverter in there and cut out all that 12vdc BS.. good luck.. hope your house doesnt burn before you get it, lol ..

I have an inverter already. The way my room is set-up; half of my devices can run on 12 volt directly (halogen lamp, car radio, laptop power supply, ipod/phone charger) so they run directly off the batteries. The other half runs off the inverter (TV, VCR, two compact fluorescent light bulbs, fan)

Solar panels are what I plan to charge those batteries with eventually but those are on hold due to budget constraints.

Very nice !

Dont let the idiots get to you.

They are just envious because you have a brain and they dont.

Nice project, but you need to enclose the batteries in some sort of box and vent it to the outside. Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen gas.
