Hi,

Hello,

And this fuse
https://www.jaycar.com.au/1a-3ag-quick-blow-fuse/p/SF2190

That fuse is OK, do you have a fuse holder for it.?

Would it not be better to use a slow blow in stead of the quick blow fuse?

Bertus

 

How long would a slow blow take to blow
So I guess it would not matter if the battery was shorted for a few seconds

 

Whatever you do do not short out an un-fused SLA battery, even for a few seconds.
This applies also to all high capacity batteries.

If you feel more confident with a slow blow fuse use one.

EDIT:
My experience in using/charging this type of battery is that in using a series resistor, with the PSU set for the battery voltage at 13.8v[ in your case 13.5v] it will take forever to get to get the battery to full capacity.
Also note that from a charged SLA battery, you will only get out approx 70% to 80% of what you put in.

 

Hello,

If you want to know more about the selection and use of fuses, read the attached PDF.

Ok thanks
I would feel more confident with a slow blow

I just realized I haven't told you what im making
I am constructing a Remote Controlled Boat I hope to use the fans as a thruster type thing

hi,
I assume an 'air type' thruster.

Thats It

 

Sounds an interesting project, let us know it performs in service.

When the SLA battery is not connected to the project, cover insulate one of its terminals.

It looks like this

I will post the stl of my model

 

Here is the Stl file

I am curious to see if it works

 

hi,
Looked at the download link, they want me to agree to T&Cs for Cookies, Iwill pass on that.

 

Hello,

The file seems to be an 3D rendering file.
I had to download Meshlab to view it.


I can not make much of it. It seems to render incorrectly.
Can you post a JPG file of the image?

I use the circuit below fed by a 12VDC @ 1000mA wall adapter. The output of the adapter at Vin reads 16VDC with no load.

Is this better or can I just do it like described above

hi Robbie,
If you have a bench power supply on which you can set the Vout to 13.5V and the current limit to 1Amp, I would [ and do] use that method,.
If you cannot set a current limit, you could use a 2R resistor in series with the battery +plus terminal.

hi R,
That site also wants me to agree to its T&C's before I download, I do not wish to do that,

Why don't you post it directly to AAC, this site. [use Upload a File option]
