hence the thread originating about solar panelsI was wondering why a battery is needed. It is because the electricity over there hardly ever works.

People over there steal electrical wires.
What do you think they will do to a battery and solar panels?
Electrical wires are stolen because the electricity doesn't work for a lot of the time.
An immigrant in my city tried stealing live electrical wires. He got fried.
I got a new "smart" electrical meter from my utility a week ago. My neighbour got one at the same time. Now hers reads double the consumption as mine. She is throwing money away and wastes as much electricity as she can. She has incandescent "heaters" on all day outside in the daylight.
I save as much as I can.
My wires are underground so nobody sees them then nobody thinks about stealing them. Drunk thieves steal booze from the booze stores directly.
I do live in a heavenly place. A few immigrants look and talk different, shoot people, are drunkards and try to be thieves. They go to jail.
The new electricity meters work perfectly and will save me money when I do high energy work at the time of day when electricity is less expensive. My neighbour doesn't save money, she wastes as much as she can.
Dear friend,This is a huge world.
There are people on the otherside (your side) who look, speak, live, eat and act completely differently than the people in my country. They might say the same about me, like you do.
I don't chat on a forum in your country. I don't visit your country.
I hope your government catches the weirdos who are terrorizing your country.
A lot of missing information:Hi,
For a project using solar panel my load is 600mA at 12V. I use a 75W solar panel as suggested by the panel supplier and a 6A CCU with the attached specs. I prefer the DC voltage to be 12V+0 -1V. Can anybody please suggest a good method.
I don't chat on a forum in your country.
I think I couldn't convey my question clearly. The load point seems to be now directly connected to the battery with a high and low limit and cut off. So it may vary from 11.5V to 15V or so. I want this to be regulated. Probably a DC-DC converter may take care of this. I wanted to have the opinion of other experienced people.A lot of missing information:
How long do you want to operate on battery and at what duty cycle
How long do you have to charge the battery
Do you expect it to fully charge on a cloudy day
how far from the equator you are and what time of year (relates to how long it takes to charge. I know you are in India, just pointing out variables )

I don't know about Slovakia but the other countries are not 3rd world where almost everything is different to us and almost every modern electronic component is too expensive or is not available, like in India.ElectroMaster = New Zealand
Jay.slovak = Slovakia
Nigel Goodwin = England
This isn't a Canadian forum... why are you here?
The internet is INTERNATIONAL. Get used to it.
What sort of devices are you trying to power?
You want a maximum power point charger. We had discussed this before, but I do not remember if you wanted them on all the time or how much power you needed.LED Lights
