A solar system? You're going to need a whole bunch of coalescing hydrogen and at least a couple of planets - not to mention the one billion year waiting time before you can live in it.
 
Why lead acid batteries? I'm assuming you mean a solar system mobile, they don't exactly have steep power requirements, why not just use standard Alkaline cells?

Does this mean we should not expect a big bang anytime soon

No no, NO big bangs they require too much energy best used on powering stuff. If the almighty could not get it right first time I doubt I'll do any better....

(hey what happened to the smilys on this forum ?)

I thought a negative followed by a positive vertex implied a smile...

If you want da big bang go connect 2 off 400AH battery arrays up and short them out . An aluminuim connector turns to dust in a BIG BANG I know as as I have done it.


Eh Thunderchild,
On a more serious note is pommyland known as the sunless land . Be better to make your own wind turbine too if you really want any RE power. It aint hard but this forum seems to think it's all a big joke.

There's your sign... Smiley included.

I thought this whole thing turned into a play on words as Thunder said he wanted to make a solar system. I think we are just funnin... Solar system; get it? hehe

Not bashing his idea, just choice of words...

hm with what the damn things will cost : £ 113 for 400 Ah @ 6V i think I'll advoid big bangs, they use a lot of power too.

I am considering a wind turbine too but unfortunately have really limited space, just a back garden with houses around it but something small would be good any suggestions welcome
 

no worries I came to the more laid back part of the forum so its to be expected.
 
Okay, back to being serious, why lead acid? Cost? It may be cheaper to go with a more expensive battery in the long run.
 
well what other types of batteries are there ? I've always thought that lead-acid were the cheapest and most robust
 
Thunderchild, are there any golf courses or golf cart repair shops in your area?

Those would be a good place to get batteries.

If your are going to make your own solar system, can I have my own planet?

I know, I know. Good lord. Some guys come onto the forum and want complete schematics, board layout, software and everything, now this guy wants his own solar system.
 
How about growing your own potato patch? You can eat some of them for their good nutrients and use the rest for making a power source ... even on cloudy days when solar works poorly.
