Jebao Battery Backup
Re: Jebao Battery Backup
Hey Roberto,
Do you have any estimated time frame for release of this? Very excited especially with hurricane season coming in a few months.
Also, I know you told me that a cable can be bought. Will you be selling extension cables or can could you provide us a link to an example of a cable needed to extend?

Re: Jebao Battery Backup
will it be recharge by our led Fixtures, MH, T5s or it has to be recharge by mother nature only?
Re: Jebao Battery Backup
These are available in the webstore now.
I'll work on the manual in the next few days.

Re: Jebao Battery Backup
Hi Roberto,
I have bought the unit, but want to substitute the solar panel for a wall charger. What max amp rating should the power supply have, 'cause I assume that you can't use any?
Also, will the actual control unit stop the charging of the battery when it's fully charged?

Re: Jebao Battery Backup
The solar panel is actually a self contained battery charger.
The battery is a standard 12V lead-acid battery.
You can upgrade it to a car charger and a car battery if you wanted to
Google: 12V battery charger. It should give you plenty of options. Don't use a regular power supply. They are not made to charge batteries.

Re: Jebao Battery Backup
Wow, that's cool, that means if there's a really bad power cut, I could connect the leads directly to my car battery in the garage and use it as a "generator"
Would this work as a "charger" instead of the solar panel? : http://www.vacuumspot.com.au/electrolux ... vQodi5MAuQ

Re: Jebao Battery Backup
Hahaha... Yeap, you got the idea
Expensive generator... lol
That charger doesn't specify the battery that it can charge. Make sure the charger is made for the type of battery you are using, but I think it may work.

Re: Jebao Battery Backup
Thanks Roberto, your support is great in this forum!
Re: Jebao Battery Backup
I just want to make sure I'm understanding this right...
Out of the box,The battery does not get charged unless by the solar charger?
It's not constantly trickle charged via mains power? (no 110v plug?)

Re: Jebao Battery Backup
Correct. Only solar.
If you want a trickle charger, you would need to get your own, but you can definitely plug it in instead of the solar.

Re: Jebao Battery Backup
Would it be much to swap out the battery for a LithiumIon bank or would the solar charger not be compatible?
Re: Jebao Battery Backup
You would have to get the bank and a lipo chrager, but it would too.
