12 volts, 12 amps in many backup battery supply systems ?

I would not be exaggerating to say that the 12 volt, 12 amp UPS  (uninterrupted power supply) battery. Will be found in most large offices around the world. The most common usage for this one is as a backup power source. Of course, in the event of a mains power supply failure,

When the mains go down. Then the 12-volt, 12-amp battery bank kicks in and allows the computers to carry out a proper shutdown. So, we are saving very valuable data from being destroyed. The UPS battery will be used in very large banks of backup systems .

These UPS batteries have many uses. UPS Batteries Have Many Uses

Backup systems will usually come within a surge circuit. I also have a built-in filter, which will protect the circuits and the computer from power surges. These surges are known as transients, spikes, and surges and can destroy and even delete data, as well as damage computer equipment. One of the most common forms of power surges is lightning. Even if an adjacent building is struck, a surge can occur and damage an unprotected computer system, but thanks to the 12 volts 12 amp battery then this will be protected.

“Even entry-level battery backups provide visual and audible alarms based on various states of alert. They also include automatic shutdown software that controls the connected microcomputer via USB port so that if the user happens to be away from the computer when the power fails, the system takes over and initiates safe shutdown procedures before they drain”… http://battery-backup-review.toptenreviews.com/what-exactly-is-a-computer-battery-backup-and-which-one-is-best-.html.

 12 volt, 12 amp batteries also fit many mobility scooters

This 12 volt, 12 amp is also now used to power some smaller mobility scooters. As a result, it takes two of these 12 volts and 12 amps to make a 24-volt system. UPS Batteries Have Many Uses, and here is some very important information about the care of your 12 volts 12 amps when they are not in use and during the winter months from an excellent website called www.easymedonline.com.

 Always store your batteries FULLY CHARGED.UPS Batteries Have Many Uses

– Check all batteries once a month and recharge as needed.
– Wet ones can hold their charge up to 3 months.
– Sealed ones can hold a charge for up to 6 months.
– When storing a chair or scooter for more than 2 weeks, charge them and then disconnect them.
– Avoid hot and cold extremes when storing.

What is the proper way to store batteries for the Winter?

A: Store them fully charged. Check them once a month and recharge as needed. Sealed ones can hold their charge from 6 to 12 months. Remember, if storing your chair for longer than a couple of weeks, it’s best to charge them up  and then disconnect them”…http://www.easymedonline.com/more/batteries.html

Leisure Batteries Storage time again as Winter approaches?

Leisure Batteries Storage

It is storing your Leisure Batteries Storage time

The extremely mild weather here in the UK. Has brought out all the spring flowers,(earlier than normal). It is also bringing out the caravan and motorhome users, into thinking about their first 2014 trips out. Hence, judging by the amount of leisure batteries that we are selling at the moment.

Normally we see a surge of sales and inquiries just a few weeks before Easter. But this year the sales are coming early. One of the most popular batteries that we sell. Thus,to the caravan and campervan (RV) fraternity is the XV31 110 amp leisure battery . This battery is made by a battery manufacturer in South Korea. This also covers smaller battery sizes, including XV 23, XV 24, and XV 27 and, of course, the XV31. This battery along with the LV26, and along with the smaller LV 22 are made by Johnson Controls . Of course one of the World’s leading battery developer and battery manufacturer.

This year is a particularly good time to buy this Leisure Batteries product. Because due to the mild winter.Subsequently, the sales of car batteries have dropped off. Meaning the leading battery companies are well down on sales of car batteries.So,are looking forward to the next battery season. Which includes the sale of leisure batteries, motorcycle batteries, mobility scooter batteries, golf cart batteries. Including, other seasonal things such as lawn mower batteries. Of course, the guys who are lucky enough to own a classic car. Classic car batteries are huge sellers.

Leisure Batteries Storage

What normally happens is that the owners of these types of battery-driven machines equipment will get them out as soon as the weather improves and start getting warmer, which is normally around April time here in the UK. But this year we are about three weeks to a month in front, due to the mild weather. In fact, I have recently seen a butterfly and many bees flying about and also the grass on my lawn needs cutting for the first time after the winter.

People all over will be getting out their golf and gardening equipment only to find that their battery is flat and will not work. Most of the time the battery will recover when it is charged, but people are reluctant to charge their battery throughout the winter months. Up to recent times, the battery chargers were of the old fashioned types that you put onto your battery

and then took off when the battery was fully charged but these days you can buy what they call “intelligent battery chargers”. These chargers are made by well-known companies such as Ring Electrical and “Numax”, and are well worth the investment. What you have to do is find out the correct amps that you require for your size of the battery, remove the Leisure Batteries from the caravan or lawn mower, whatever it is on, give the Leisure Batteries a clean and if it is not a sealed battery, check the levels.

You can then connect the leisure battery to the smart charger

, (preferably in a frost free place) and leave it to charge all the winter long. The charger will then keep your leisure battery charge topped up to the correct levels and automatically switch on and off when charging is required. This way you will end up with a nice clean fully charged the battery when the time comes to use it.

Changing car tyres: When Should You Change Your Car Tyres?

Changing car tyres and then report that they regularly check them. Here is a list about what you should be …

Eric Roberts‘s insight:

When should we think about changing our car tyres?

Why You Should Consider Changing Your Car Tyres: Safety, Performance, and Peace of Mind.
Hello, everyone! Today, let’s talk about something important for your vehicle: tyres. Yes, those round, rubbery chaps that keep you attached to the pavement.

You may think, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but when it comes to tyres, there’s a little more to consider. Let’s look at why changing your automobile tyres can be a great idea.

1. Safety first.
First and foremost, safety. Worn tyres are like a flimsy umbrella in a downpour: they’re of little use. The tread depth has a significant impact on how your automobile grips the road, particularly on rainy and windy British days.

The legal tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm, but experts often advocate replacing them before they get worn. It’s more than just following the law; it’s about keeping you and your loved ones safe.

2. Improved Performance
New tyres can dramatically improve the appearance of your vehicle. They increase handling and make your automobile more responsive.

Whether you’re navigating the winding roads of the Yorkshire Dales or cruising down the M1, new tyres can make your ride more comfortable and pleasurable. Furthermore, they can help your automobile become more fuel-efficient, and who doesn’t like saving a few pounds on petrol?

3. Preventing Future Issues
Consider this scenario: you’re driving to Blackpool for a fun day out, and then you get a flat tyre. Regular checks and timely modifications might help you avoid these unanticipated annoyances. It’s like having a little buffer, so you don’t have to worry about getting stuck or being late for a crucial appointment.

4. Increasing Your Car’s Value
If you’re thinking of selling or part-exchanging your vehicle, having brand new tyres can be a huge advantage. It demonstrates that you’ve cared for the vehicle and can possibly increase its value. It’s about making a good first impression, right?

5. Keeping up with the seasons
In the UK, we don’t just speak about the weather; we experience it. If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow or ice, consider seasonal tyres. Winter tyres provide higher grip and shorter braking distances in cold, wet conditions. It’s like having the appropriate coat for the weather – just for your car.

In conclusion
. Changing car tyres
So there you have it – a few compelling reasons to consider changing your car tyres. It’s not just about following the rules of the road; it’s also about assuring your safety, improving your driving experience, and potentially increasing the worth of your automobile. Remember to check your tyres and drive safely. Until the next time, good motoring!

This is an interesting article from Automotive Tools Revue.

You would think that it would be easy to determine when you are changing car tyres, but it is the same as everything in life, some people know what to do, or what they are looking at, and other people do not and have to ask for advice.

Watch for the Pellon Tyres sign. Changing car tyres

Fortunately, we are one of those trades that are only willing to help people with their tyre problems ! So, most tyre companies are only too willing to give a free tyre report to their customers. Many independent tyre retailers are affiliated with an organisation . However, look out for an independent local garage.

Many also have their own web sites. Where can you find your nearest tyre retailer. Who will only be too willing to give your car a free tyre check . Also recommending when you should be changing car tyres.

Look out for an Independent tyre depot in your area

If you do not have an independent tyre retailer in your area,. Then I am sure that a local garage will do the job for them at no cost to the customer.

The first thing to look at before changing car tyres. Of course, you should check your tyres and see if they are worn on one side. Naturally, they will look as if they have no tread cut into the tyres.

This is a sure sign that your tyres will need replacing ! Significantly, the car will also need a wheel alignment. This is a sign that the tyre has been scrubbed off at one side, because the wheel alignment was not set correctly.

The other way to check to see if it may be necessary. Changing car tyres

to change car tyres is to look for the small bumps of rubber that are set between the tread at 1.6 mm deep, This is the British Government’s law for the tread depth that your tyres should be at, although we in the trade think that it should now be 3 mm because of the change in driving conditions since the last tyre laws were passed.

These laws are pretty much the same in the USA and much of Europe to help maintain high standards of safety.

To conclude, the best way  to check your tyres. Including winter tyres. So, take your car to your tyre retailer, and they will check it for you free of charge.

Purchasing An EV Or A Fuel-Powered Ca

EV Batteries?- How Cheap Are they really? Climate Denial Crock of the Week

I’m finding Chevy Volt replacement ev batteries online for about $2,300. $2,300/16 kWh = $144/kWh. Retail. On the GM Parts Store site a replacement battery for the 2012 Chevy Volt is listed at $2,305.88.

Eric Roberts‘s insight:

Why a replacement ev batteries any how ?

EV batteries prices

This article shows the prices for the  EV Batteries replacement but I was wondering why would you need a replacement anyhow?

According this good and in depth article a replacement battery would cost $2000 and more, but why would you have to buy one? The old  EV Batteries should be replaced free of charge if found faulty, like any other part of the car. Some of the European car makers, such as Renault, lease the batteries out when they sell an Electric Car, so I can only assume that the same warranty reasons will apply to them.

In my opinion, when the EV batteries will need replacing in a few years’ time, then the technology that is carried out at the moment will have drastically reduced the battery prices by that time. All this new development will probably reduce the size of the batteries, to a more realistic and affordable size. Johnson controls are developing a Lithium-Ion battery at the moment that is much smaller than its predecessors.

 

 

The only reason I can think of for an EV car to need  new EV Batteries, is after an accident.

 

Because of the battery power train size there is likely to be damage caused by an accident. This brings me to the cars insurance, is the possible scenario of a crashed EV car requiring an expensive battery going to put insurance premiums, or will the cost be spread amongst us all?

There is no doubt that the EV car will play a significant part in the future of fuel efficient cat technology, with batteries that can last for years due to the advent of silicon “Nano” battery technology and car manufacturers will keep up with these improvement trends.

The charging rates are also getting much better, with charging time expected to get down to as low as 15 minutes for an 80% charge but my money is still on Hydrogen cell technology. However, this is a good article and worth a click to read.

Car Battery Check-Make sure that your family are safe by checking your CAR BATTERY before a journey

Car Battery Check

Make sure that your family are safe with a Car Battery Check

So, on a recent visit to France, we unfortunately broke down. Due to an electrical fault on our Peugeot van. Just by a coincidence another English vehicle in a few parking spaces near to us. Was also broke down, this vehicle was a Citroen C4 Picasso people carrier, and was occupied by a family of six , four children and their parents.

I went over to the guy, who was looking under the bonnet (hood) of his car. Tentatively,  asking him what had gone wrong. He told that the orange alternator light had come on. Sadly, but he carried on. Not suspecting that the light would cause a problem. He went on to tell me! That he had suspected that the car may have had a dodgy battery for a few weeks. But he just kept on charging it up. Because he did not use the people carrier very often. In fact he only used the car for family outings and visits to the sea side.

I told him that I was in the Car battery business. So, and suspected that a Battery Check would do the trick. I am amazed at the number of drivers that I come across. Consequently, who are hell bent on trying to keep a dead battery alive. Of course, by constantly trying to charge up their old, and probably dead battery up. So, trying to keep the thing alive. Most drivers fail and eventually give up their dead battery. Of course, and go out to have a professional Battery Check. Before buying  buy a new one.

Car Battery Check

We were both members of the AA, a British breakdown organisation, that covers the whole of Europe. Sure enough a breakdown truck arrived to attend to the guy with the people carrier. The system in France only allows the AA Recovery to attend a breakdown on the road side or hard shoulder of a motorway.

This is French law! I think it has something to do with protecting the livelihood of the French garage trade. Something that the French are good at,  protectionism. The English guy did have a battery test and needed a new  12 Volt Battery. The battery on the vehicle was a common size. Known to us as a 096. These batteries cost about £60 here in the UK. But the driver got a shock when the new battery cost him 140 Euros.

His breakdown cover may not have covered him for what we call renewable s, so the lesson there is do not mess about trying to resurrect your old car battery,

just go and buy a new one. The whole experience of breaking down would have put a lot of pressure on his family, not knowing if they would not reach their holiday destination or not, just for the sake of a battery test before starting off on a journey.

Car Battery Check

My wife and I have had eight children together over the past 35 years and have traveled extensively all over Europe. We have broken down a couple of times in our people carriers and so we know about the pressure that breaking down can put on the whole family. It is not worth the hassle and stress, just because you did not prepare your car and had a not knowing if they would not reach their holiday destination or not, just for the sake of a Car Battery Check before starting off on a journey.

At the moment the motorcycle battery market is flooded, with all sorts of makes and different types of batteries. Unfortunately, this can be very complicated. Of course, I think that the internet is the best way to go about buying one of these batteries. Consequently, this way of buying motor cycle batteries. Keeps the job as simple as possible. Importantly, try to replace the part number of the battery the same as that you are replacing. So, like for like.

Differing manufactures are not such a problem ! Except that some motorcycle batteries come with differing part numbers. Of course, I was thinking of Varta and perhaps Bosch. A few years ago a European standard battery part number was introduced. Of course, to try to make all the battery manufacturers use the same number, but this seems to have fallen apart and you can get three different numbers for the same battery.

Japanese battery markings

The most common part numbers are on the Japanese bikes and will look like,”YTX9BS”; this to me is the most common type of battery. The European number found on a Varta will look like “53030”, so the numbers will differ depending where your bike is from. You will find though that most Japanese bikes will have the YTX9BS lettering, but BMW’s will have the 53030 Varta numbers.

In any case you will find it easier if you replace the battery that is fitted to your bike, will be best practice and unless you know what you are doing please don’t try to be clever and update or uprate the battery that you have fitted to the bike.

Leisure Batteries Connected: How to Connect 2 or More Leisure Batteries

Leisure Batteries Connected

Connecting two or more leisure batteries is entirely possible, but it should be undertaken with caution. To connect the batteries, you’ll have to have enough space in the caravan to house the multiple batteries safely, as well as …

Eric Roberts insight:

Certainly, let’s dive into the world of leisure batteries and the parallel wiring method to keep things at a cosy 12 volts.

Grab your cuppa and let’s chat about it in that friendly, British way! Unleashing the Power of Parallel Wiring for Your Leisure Batteries Alright, mate, imagine this: you’re planning a nice weekend getaway in your trusty caravan or campervan, and you’re thinking, “I need some extra juice to keep things running smoothly.”

That’s where leisure batteries come into play. These little powerhouses can keep your lights on, your fridge cool, and your

gadgets charged while you soak up the great British outdoors. But how do you get them to work together in harmony? Well, that’s where the parallel wiring method comes in.

The Lowdown on Leisure Batteries

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of parallel wiring, let’s quickly recap what leisure batteries are all about. These bad boys are designed to provide a steady source of 12 volts of electricity to power your camping adventures. Unlike your car battery, which is all about delivering a short burst of power to start your engine, leisure batteries are built for the long haul. They can handle multiple charge and discharge cycles without breaking a sweat.

Why go parallel? Leisure Batteries Connected

Now, let’s get to the crux of the matter: why should you consider connecting your leisure batteries in parallel? Well, it’s all about increasing your power capacity. When you wire your batteries in parallel, you’re essentially connecting the positive terminals together and the negative terminals together.

This setup maintains a 12-volt output but doubles (or triples, depending on how many batteries you have) your overall capacity. Imagine you have two 100-Ah leisure batteries. If you wire them in parallel, you’ll still have that lovely 12 volts, but now you’ve got a whopping 200 Ah of power at your disposal. That’s more time to watch TV, charge your devices, or run your favourite camping appliances without worrying about running out of juice.

A personal Touch: Leisure Batteries Connected

Keeping It British Now, let’s add a bit of local flavour to our discussion. Imagine being in the heart of the UK, surrounded by picturesque countryside and lush green fields. As you prepare your caravan for a weekend adventure, you can’t help but appreciate the rich history and natural beauty that’s all around you.

It’s this appreciation for the local environment that makes leisure batteries and parallel wiring so essential for modern-day nomads. You see, when you’re out exploring the UK’s beautiful landscapes, it’s crucial to have a reliable power source.

Whether you’re parked up in the Lake District

enjoying the tranquilly of the Scottish Highlands or soaking in the coastal charm of Cornwall, having parallel-wired leisure batteries means you can enjoy those creature comforts while staying connected to nature. The How-To of Parallel Wiring Alright, let’s get down to the nuts and bolts of parallel wiring. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

Gather your Batteries:

Make sure you’ve got the right leisure batteries for your needs. They should be of the same type and capacity. Safety First: Always disconnect any power sources before working with your batteries. Safety goggles and gloves wouldn’t go amiss either.

Connect Positive to Positive: Leisure Batteries Connected

Take the positive terminal of one battery and connect it to the positive terminal of the other battery using a thick cable. This creates a positive connection between the two. Connect Negative to Negative: Do the same for the negative terminals, creating a negative connection. Check Your Work: Double-check all connections, ensuring they’re tight and secure.

Test your setup:

Before hitting the road, check that everything’s working as it should. You should still have a 12-volt output, but now with increased capacity. Conclusion:

Powering Your British Adventures

So, there you have it, my fellow adventurers. Parallel wiring your leisure batteries can be the key to unlocking a world of power and comfort during your UK getaways. With this setup, you can enjoy your favourite local brew, keep the lights on for a cosy evening in your caravan, and even charge your gadgets for those essential Instagram-worthy snaps of your travels. Remember safety first, and always use the right equipment for the job. Now, go out there and explore the beauty of the United Kingdom, armed with the knowledge of how to keep your batteries running smoothly. Happy camping, mate!

Connecting 2 or More Leisure Batteries-Leisure Batteries Connected

It is entirely possible to connect more than two leisure or solar power batteries. But it must be in parallel. Therefore, this means that you must retain the twelve volts that you require. Hence, you must connect the two positive terminals together. Naturally, and the two negative terminals together.

By connecting the batteries in this way. Thus, as I have said, you will retain the twelve volts that you will require. As a result, to power a twelve-volt system. For this reason, it is used on most cars and marine and leisure systems, it

will also double the amps for more power storage, which is why this is done in the first place. This method also means that your batteries will charge at the same rate.

It is also important to use the same type of batteries. the accompanying video will explain the different types of Leisure Batteries and the best for most applications are AGM batteries.

Leisure Batteries Connected-Leisure Batteries Connected

The Leisure Batteries that you connect together must also be of the same type and age, preferably new batteries. it will be of no use if you connect a new battery with one that is old and has less power.

This will only make the new battery fail at a later stage and not give you the full power that you are looking for. It is also possible to connect each battery to a fuse, which will stop the risk of a high current flowing from the good battery to the bad battery with a faulty cell causing it to short; this situation could be dangerous, with a risk of a fire or explosion.

Recycling Li-On batteries-Lithium-Ion- electric car batteries- to provide power to homes.

Motor-Trades Insight Recycling Li-On batteries

Recycling electric car batteries to provide power to homes could mean ‘an end …

Eric Roberts‘s insight:

We are already talking about a second use for the old electric car batteries ?

Four partner companies in the North East of England. Consequently, they are Opus Green, SR Technologies, together with Tadea and Gateshead College. They are looking at the possibility of using Recycling Li-On batteries . Of course that will be changed at the end of life period after say ten years. Importantly, on such electric cars as the Nissan Leaf.

In the long run, these companies are trying to come with ideas about the use of Recycling Li-On batteries. Hence, in conjunction  with solar panels and wind turbines, to store energy for use at night time, rather than just put the electricity used into the National Grid. Ordinarily, we have such solar panels on the roof of my home. So, the electricity generated is transmitted via inverter and an electric meter into the grid here in the UK.

All this working project will be carried out at Gateshead College.

In this case in the research and development department at Barmston Road in Sunderland. Of course, in the North East of England. The EV batteries will be tested on sight at the college.Another key point is that they will be used to power equipment that will be used on demonstration. In my opinion I cannot see why it should fail. Once they found a way for the solar panels to charge up Lithium-Ion batteries. I know that there have been many other types of experiments. Especially, in this field even using large banks of Trojan  batteries can be made to work-.


“Malcolm Potter, Project Manager at Tadea said “This is a very exciting project for tadea to be involved in and as it’s the first of its kind within in UK to focus on how to extend the life of these batteries it’s hoped that the results will lead to further developmental work in this field.”

017 EFB Batteries-Numax and Lucas Car batteries are back again

017 EFB Batteries

017 EFB Batteries-here in the UK

So,  bringing this post up to date in 2021 then the EFB battery is becoming very popular. Happily for us the winter of 2020/21 has become a very cold snowy winter. Whist most people hate the bad weather then of course we love it. Cold weather means a little more business for us. Specialist products give us a few more sales than normal. However, this year is the year when batteries on new car sales from a few years ago are due to be replaced! Including the start-stop batteries known as the EFB and the AGM.

Vehicle owners will have noticed by now that these batteries are more expensive than a regular car battery. Of course the batteries are different due to technology and more expensive parts inside the battery.

Numax EFB batteries a great mid range battery

So, when sourcing a good priced battery for my customers I finally chose the Numax brand.  Firstly, Numax are available at the moment! Like many other products then batteries are suffering shortage problems. Mainly due to the massive demand from consumers after battery factories were shut down due to the “Corona Virus Pandemic”. This is causing, massive shipping problems with stock orders going out of the window.

However, Numax and Lucas are now the same products and are coming through at regular intervals.

Lucas brand AGM Batteries
