RADIO CONTROL BATTERY POWER AND RC PLAY TIME

by Uneeb Khan

 One huge setback you face when you’re playing with your remote control toys is batteries going dead right in the middle of your play time.

Every time you get deep into loosening up, and you’re having fun steering that remote control toy around, the batteries go dead. You gotta break away from what you’re doing while you charge them back up, or make a run to the hardware store for a fresh supply.

And when that remote control toy operates on AA batteries, with a 9V battery for the controller, you need a large stock to guarantee youme power battery yourself long periods of RC hobby pleasure, or if you’re stressing out to the point you need a long period for mellowing out.

Keeping plenty of spare batteries around is so much better than making a run for new power supplies every time a battery dies on you.

When you have to stop your remote control playtime just because lost power you get frustrated.

Let me suggest an idea to help keep that radio control model operating so you don’t need to take a long battery-charging break, and suffer from lost remote control fun time:

Buy a charging system for alkaline-type batteries. Plenty of electronics stores and departments carry them, and these chargers keep a back-up set of all the batteries you need powered up, and ready to get you running your remote control vehicle after a fast battery swap.

With stand-by power waiting in your hobby bag, you beat the frustration of long charging stops in the middle of your playtime because a battery goes dead, and your RC quits running. You’ll no longer have the problem of not getting it started again because you don’t have freshly charged batteries to install.

When your batteries go dead, and you don’t have spares, it’s like running out of gas 23-miles into the desert at high noon. You know you have no choice but to start walking, but you’re sure not anxious to start on that first step.

Make sure you get those extra batteries (or charging station) when you buy a remote control toy for your kids. Think about how impatient they’ll get when that radio control toy suddenly runs out of juice, and you’re forced to tell them you don’t have spare batteries to let them keep playing?

Save yourself the frustration of down time due to dead batteries, and keep on having a great RC time.

When you order that remote control toy make sure you order extra batteries. Or jot down the power requirements and go buy some extra power while you’re waiting for your toy to arrive.

Custom Security Solutions – Protecting Remote Buildings

In most security the addition of security is a very standard installation. You may decide to do a DIY installation or you might hire a security company to do the installation. There are cases where you need something done that is outside the normal scope of work. Some of these are:

  • Remote Security for a Remote Building
  • Remote Security for an area with no power

Problems with Remote Buildings

The biggest issue with trying to install security in a remote building is that typically there is no power. In the past there was also the issue of not having a phone line to connect for remote notification. With the new Cellular Security Systems remote communication is typically not an issue. If you can use a cell phone in the area then you will most likely be able to use cellular technology to monitor your security system. When it comes to the absence of power that can now be overcome with the installation of a solar panel. You must calculate the amount of power that your system uses in standby and also when in alarm.

Your alarm system has 3 basic states of operation when it comes to power consumption. They are:

  • Standby Mode-Alarm is not set or capable of triggering alarm except for 24 hour devices
  • Armed Mode-The system is capable of triggering an alarm
  • Alarm Mode-The system is in alarm and audible are sounding

The alarm mode consumes the most power since the sirens or horns connected to the system are ringing. Alarm systems are set with a cutoff time so the audible will automatically stop sounding if no one silences the alarm. This is usually enough time to scare away a burglar, alert the neighbors and notify the central station if you are using one.

Calculating Power needed

Your alarm system always has a backup battery installed. The backup battery will usually provide power for a period of 24 hours in the event of power loss. If you install a solar panel as your primary source of power then you will be providing the 12vdc to the panel and the panel will keep the original backup battery charged. You will need to calculate the specific power needed for your security system by adding up the power consumption of your control panel and all of the individual components. A typical security panel will consume a very small amount that is in the range of around 6 watts of power.

Basic Solar System Components

Solar Panels

They supply the electricity to charge the batteries.

Charge Controller

The solar panels will supply electricity as long as there is sun to convert the energy. This device will prevent overcharging and potential damage to the system batteries.

Power Inverter

The power from the batteries is 12vdc. This will not work on household appliances so the energy is converted to 120VAC for home use.

Batteries

The batteries store youme lipo the electrical energy when the sun is no longer shining sso you will have 24 hour energy.

Typical Uses for Remote Security using Solar Panels:

  • Remote Outbuildings
  • Barns
  • Storage Units
  • New Construction Sites
  • Vacation Homes
  • Cabins
