    I am not sure I understood how to do this.

    Use a battery monitor which measures the charge in and out of the battery. Okay thanks Let's admit I use this: Would it work? How would I connect it with the battery? Do I first have to connect it with charge controller? And where on it?

    Hello,So if I have a lead acid battery 12v and 60Ah, how can I know when it is 50% full? Which would mean I have to stop using it and let it charge again. On the charge controller you can see the volts but not the %, is it a device I can use to see in %, if yes, how does it work, how can I fix it to the battery? If not, how can I know using the volts?
  4. Ohh okay thank you! And so for devices which tell you in% which are not expensive, you don't know? Last question: How does this work? Like how could I fix it to my 60ah battery? Really sorry for all these questions, I am just very curious๐Ÿ˜…
  5. Okay thanks. How can I calculate it? Is it like you explained before?
  6. Okay thanks, but it shows you the % or you have to figure out alone? Like with ...volts would I be at 50%? And so I can put this charger directly in my laptop, like I don't need anymore the charger I am using now or I still need it?
  7. So I guess it is better to have 6v but 20Ah right? Because I can store more energy? So thanks to this device I can know how much "full" in % my battery is? Thanks again for your very well explained answers!
  8. Okay, thank you very much for your reply! But I am not sure I understood everything about the car phone charger? How do I know which one I need? And how does it work? How do you know that it will take 10h to charge? Which calculation do you do? So I have better to use this kind of battery? It has 60Ah. And so which device do I have to use to know how much energy my battery has and when I am bellow 50%?
  9. Sorry I wrote 2 times this topic, please respond to the other one.
  10. Hello guys, I am a Swiss highschool student and I would like to buy a solar panel 100W, 12v. I am very curious about this field and I really would like to use in the future 100% renewable energy.๐Ÿ˜ŠSo I need to go step by step and my first step is to buy a 100W/ 12v solar panel to can charge my laptop and my phone.So this solar panel is enough to charge a laptop right? Here are my other questions: For a 100W, 12V solar panel, do we need a charge regulator, a 12V battery, as well as a 300W voltage converter, from 12V to 230V (for example), to be able to charge a laptop ? If the solar panel produces less than 12V due to little sunlight, does the battery not store anything anymore because it is a 12V battery or can it still store? If it does not store, that would mean in this case, that I should take a battery with a lower voltage such as 6V for example? Can it then store enough energy or is it โ€œfullโ€ very quickly? In this case, would that mean that the charge regulator and the voltage converter must also be able to accept 6V? How can I mesure the voltage of a battery? How long does it take ~ for a 12v battery to be fully full without using it at all? Also, I am not sure I understood everything about the inverter, which kind of inverter should I use for a 100W/ 12v solar panel? (I prefer the inverter than the DC power supply because it seems easier). Can it be like that if I want to charge my laptop? (Sorry it is written in french...)Also, so for the battery I have better to choose a 6v battery for my solar panel like this one?Or it isn't a good idea?( I would like an inverter and a battery cheap but which work quite well even if they are not expensive, if it is possible) Last question: How do you link several batteries together? These are my main questions and I apologize for bothering you with them. Have a nice day!๐Ÿ™‚
