I think you need pressure sustaining valves and a level control valve. the success will depend on the volume pumped, pump character and topography.
you can plot the pipe line on Google earth and send to me.
Try to get details on the pump as well.

Thanks Guys,
Do you know the function of the 2 wires?

Tonto

Hi Guys,
I would like to cut out as much as possible losses between my alternator and the battery. I am thinking of installing a wire directly from the alternator to the battery. Which one do I use? The thick white one, or the thinner yellow one.
Regards
Andre

So on what restrictors are the Minis running?
I really hope Giniel is running as fast as possible and not waiting for a mistake from the Mini manne! There might not be one, there might have to be 5 in this case.

Chris, Thanks for the tests. The question now is whether the wattage rating of the panels sold to us can be seen as false advertizing?

Stephan, As ek weer 2 batterye saam koppel sal ek n skakelaar insit en die een net as spaar gebruik. As altwee presies dieselfde is kan dit dalk werk om hulle saam te koppel, maar dis selde die geval. Dit is ook die rede dat groter ups stelsels se batterye gereeld vervang word. As jy die 2 batterye ...

Klink lekker Chris,
Ek dink as ek my 40l Engel agter in my canopy sit met die deure toe behoort die temp lekker hoog te styg.

Here follows the 3rd edit after some input from Johan. I added 15% to the equipment consumption to compensate for the chemical and other losses during the charging, discharging sequence.

Alan, as jy n tafel reg gaarmaak is hy nie te bad nie. Jy kook hom amper soos n wille Makou. Groot pot met 2 Rooikrans stompies (nee Pieter, Sekelbos gaan nie werk nie). Baie water, 2 uie en n huisie knoffel. Kook tot die Rooikrans sag is, gooi die gans weg en eet die Rooikrans.

Johan het n paar inputs gegee, en ek het die spreadsheet bietjie aangepas. blykbaar gooi jy 10 % weg van die krag wat deur die paneel en die alt opgewek word. Ek stem ook saam dat die alternator dalk meer laai as die 10 amps, maar met die gewone solenoid stelsel wonder ek hieroor. Julle kan self met...

In Tuesdays Burger there was an article on Trekoskraal basically stating thatbTrekos is a better place to camp than Tietiesbaai.

Chris, I am at the same point at the moment. The roofrack should be a versatile piece of kit and I am worried that fitting the solar panel up there to charge the battery will limit the use to just that. With the dc to dc charger the aux battery will charge while driving, much better than just with t...

Tonto

Personally, I think this is the best battery to buy. Just make sure your charging system can handle it. I believe they need 14 + volts to recharge properly.

Hi Val,
Really beautifull!
What camera and settings?

Tonto

Agreed, something we maybe dont understand always that a battery is a complex piece of kit and the chemistry of the aux batt normally differ from the starting batt. The discharge method dictates the battery type and the normal alternator is designed to handle a high cycle battery discharged with hig...

Tonto

Hi Andre, The regulator usually sits inside the alternator, and it monitors and regulates the voltage inside the alternator. The regulator ignores all external IR drop (between the alternator and the battery), which is actually unfortunate, because if the voltage measuring point was to be on the ba...

Tonto

I also think the voltage reg must have some form of current limiter, as the alternators does not seem to burn out that easily. I found that with too much current drawn, the voltage drops, at least on my system. Hi Andre, I don't know if the newer types of alternator have current limiting capability...

Tonto

The voltage regulator will decrease the current as the main battery`s voltage increases - to save energy [read fuel] The voltage regulator monitors the voltage at one point - normally close to the main battery. Andre Which voltage regulator is this? The regulator on the alternator Do you have a NL ...

Tonto

Sorry just read your second post and diagrams, and that is pretty much what the guy that sold the solar panel to me explained to me.... I am going to take a photo of the connection in my trailer of the way the batteries are connected, ie when I can move it, and then maybe you can tell me whether it...

Tonto

Andre, as Chris says. The normal Voltage Regulator just regulates voltage, not current. Each battery will draw current as determined by its state of charge. I also think the voltage reg must have some form of current limiter, as the alternators does not seem to burn out that easily. I found that wi...

Tonto

Hi Andre, Interesting! The voltage reg you're talking about, is that the NL one? The NL switch is the Solenoid or the marine switch connecting the aux battery to the vehicles charging system. I must confess, this whole thing where the intelligent charger only "sees" the highest voltage of...

During my recent trip, I had some time to research the dual battery issues. I am not an expert and any additions, corrections will be welcome. The graphics is how I see the situation.

Eric, I am currently trying to recover the batt with the BX 2, I will report later. If you connect them in series, I suppose you then need a 24 to 12 volt controller? This might be a better option, as to properly maintain them in parralel, you would need a dc to dc charger for each battery in anyway...

Tonto

That would be called a fuel cell. :eh: The unit will actually draw more current from the alternator than what it will put into the battery, as the unit itself does a work that generates heat and needs to be cooled down by a fan. All this needs energy and this needs to come from the petrol tank. The ...

A while ago I bought 2 x high cycle batteries from Ters. They were in good condition when I got them and I built a box containing both batteries connected together.
