Can i use a 12 volt battery with multiple devices?
Can I use a 12 volt battery with multiple devices? My assumption is that, as long as they are all devices which require 12v to function (not higher or lower), they should all work fine, although they will drain the battery quicker. Am I right?
Yes, so long as your battery can provide enough current at one pont in time, to power all of your devices at once.
Yes, the battery will drain faster the more load you put on it.

Finding Solar Power Batteries For Your Home
Just as a solar power system in your home would need deep cycle batteries to store energy for later use so would a wind turbine or windmill. The draw back with the batteries is their expense, finding a way to save on these would be a great benefit to the homeowner. You need them or you will not have any standby electricity for extended cloudy conditions.
You may be paying up to $250 per battery for some batteries, you can get those nice sealed batteries that do not have to be vented outside. Otherwise you can get deep cycle batteries like used in golf carts. These are cheaper but when you need a bank of them the cost adds up.
A better alternative if you are short of cash is to check around at the golf course maintenance facilities, boat yards or anywhere golf carts may be in use. They may have some old batteries laying around that they would be glad to get rid of. There may be nothing wrong with them, they may need to be reconditioned to get them back in shape.
There are a few methods to recondition batteries that you can do at home. One is to replace the fluid in the batteries cells with EDTA which is ethylene diamine tetra acetic. This can be added to the batteries cells that show a weak reading on a electrolyte Hydrometer.
There are other methods that work also depending on the condition of the battery and what type of battery you have. All that is required is some inexpensive tools and a manual to teach you the procedures.

Battery Experiments: Voltaic Pile
If you want to learn about the electrochemical reactions used to create batteries, it is easy to do experiments at home to try out different combinations. To do these experiments accurately, you will want to purchase an inexpensive ($10 to $20) volt-ohm meter at the local electronics or hardware store. Make sure that the meter can read low voltages (in the 1-volt range) and low currents (in the 5- to 10-milliamp range). This way, you will be able to see exactly what your battery is doing.
You can create your own voltaic pile using coins and paper towels. Mix salt with water (as much salt as the water will hold) and soak the paper towel in this brine. Then create a pile by alternating pennies and nickels. See what kind of voltage and current the pile produces. Try a different number of layers and see what effect it has on voltage. Then try alternating pennies and dimes and see what happens. Also try dimes and nickels. Other metals to try include aluminum foil and steel. Each metallic combination should produce a slightly different voltage.
Another simple experiment you can try involves a baby food jar (if you don't have a baby around the house, just purchase a few jars of baby food at the market and empty them out), a dilute acid, wire and nails. Fill the jar with lemon juice or vinegar (dilute acids) and place a nail and a piece of copper wire in the jar so that they are not touching. Try zinc-coated (galvanized) nails and plain iron nails. Then measure the voltage and current by attaching your volt meter to the two pieces of metal. Replace the lemon juice with salt water, and try different coins and metals as well to see the effect on voltage and current.
Probably the simplest battery you can create is called a zinc/carbon battery. By understanding the chemical reaction going on inside this battery, you can understand how batteries work in general.
Imagine that you have a jar of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Stick a zinc rod in it, and the acid will immediately start to eat away at the zinc. You will see hydrogen gas bubbles forming on the zinc, and the rod and acid will start to heat up. Here's what is happening:
- The acid molecules break up into three ions: two H+ (hydrogen) ions and one SO4-- (sulfate) ion.
- The zinc atoms on the surface of the zinc rod lose two electrons (2e-) to become Zn++ ions.
- The Zn++ ions combine with the SO4-- ion to create ZnSO4 (zinc sulfate), which dissolves in the acid.
- The electrons from the zinc atoms combine with the hydrogen ions in the acid to create H2 molecules (hydrogen gas). We see the hydrogen gas as bubbles forming on the zinc rod.
If you now stick a carbon rod in the acid, the acid does nothing to it. But if you connect a wire between the zinc rod and the carbon rod, two things change:
- The electrons flow through the wire and combine with hydrogen on the carbon rod, so hydrogen gas begins bubbling off the carbon rod.
- There is less heat. You can power a light bulb or similar load using the electrons flowing through the wire, and you can measure a voltage and current in the wire. Some of the heat energy is turned into electron motion.
The electrons go to the trouble to move to the carbon rod because they find it easier to combine with hydrogen there. There is a characteristic voltage in the cell of 0.76 volts. Eventually, the zinc rod dissolves completely or the hydrogen ions in the acid get used up and the battery "dies."
In the next section, we'll look at exactly what is happening with the battery's chemistry.

How to Make a Battery from a Voltaic Pile
Alternator Tester
Alternator Tester
what do I need and how much money to buy a tester that tests the battery, alternator, voltage regulator etc.?
If I can I would rather run my own diagnostics on my ignition and starter system without paying a mech ten times the price of the device you catch my drift?
Go to harbor freight. Most of their stuff is throw away junk, I know. But the battery tester I got there has been working for 10 years and I only paid like 15 or 20 for it.

Aerovironment To Begin Making A Battery Charging Innovation
Aerovironment is a company that has specialized in the development and manufacture of unmanned aircraft systems as well as efficient energy storage systems. In 2007, the company was granted a United States patent for a battery-charging technology that would allow simultaneous (parallel) charging of multiple batteries. The new charging technology would allow the company's customers to use new types of power controllers and distribution to send the correct flow of energy to each battery type based on its own unique needs. This concept would then allow for industrial or on-road electrical vehicle applications.
The fast charge systems, both the PosiCharge Dual Vehicle System and the Multi-vehicle system, will make use of the parallel charging technology to be both more cost effective and productive in comparison to traditional battery charging types. These rapid charging systems allow not only for faster charge times of the vehicles but can reduce the need for additional electrical infrastructure as well.
Posicharge Dual vehicle battery charging system is designed so that the battery does not have to come out of the vehicle and its regular charging can be done during off use times so there is no interruption in work flow for charging. Because the battery is receiving a customizable charge each time, its useful life can be extended, saving the company money in replacement costs. Not having to stop work flow for battery charges increases productivity while the technology that is used increases worker safety and work site cleanliness. PosiCharge is a division of Aerovironment Inc.
The innovation is a good one on a number of levels. First, it addresses the need for increased safety when handling charging and batteries. Second, it addresses the need to keep productivity and work flow up for the average business. Third, it addresses the longevity of the average battery type, which is greatly decreased by the average charge cycle. Fourth, it addresses the need to customize the charge that is used for each battery based on its individual need. Finally, it addresses the needs to charge several batteries at different levels at the same time. Considering the expense of most battery types, anything that can extend its life even by ten charge-discharge cycles is a considerable improvement over the alternative need of having to continually buy new batteries at a continually growing expense. More importantly, the technology allows the battery to remain in place without it having to be handled and moved to be charged, increasing worker safety.

Fully charging a new digital camera battery before first use?
I recently got a new digital camera. The minute I got it I brought it home, put the battery and memory card in, and turned it on and played with the settings and took a few pictures. Only then did I notice the tiny writing on the box saying "Must fully charge battery before initial use." Im wondering if I could have caused damage to the camera or battery by turning it on and using it for a little while before fully charging the battery?
No harm done. It is actually better to have enjoyed your camera upon purchase and drain the battery completely before charging. If you have a decent charger, it would drain the battery first anyway before starting to charge it.
