Things that i can run my 12v battery on?

Question

what are some things that i can run my 12v battery on. i have a charger that charges the battery, i am doing this to save energy because i am a "green" person.

Answer 1

Things, you can run your battery on? Interesting.

How about, things you can run "with" your battery, or things that run "on" your battery.

All I can come up with is, "your battery charger" as long as it's 12v. your battery should run just fine on it.

But, if you want stuff to run "with" your battery, anything that plugs into a car cigarette lighter socket will work.

Answer 2

With a large enough inverter, you can run about anything in your house, except maybe central air.

  But, that type of system is not really energy, or "green" efficient.  It's just that it's green on your end, but someone has to provide the power to charge your battery, unless you go with solar  charging.  Very expensive

Answer 3

Well what ever you use needs to consume less amps that it takes to charge it or else it will go dead.

led lighting would be a start

Answer 4

If you really want to be green, you need to supply the power.

A guy I worked with (a gadget freak) salvaged 12 batteries from a mainframe UPS system. He charges them by pedaling a stationary bike. An hour of pedaling will run his 42 inch flat panel TV for several hours, as well as the compact fluorescent bulbs in the lamps. He makes his kids pedal if they want to watch TV. That way they have to get exercise if they want to be couch potatoes.

I'll recycle when I can,  but I don't have the time or energy to be THAT green.

Answer 5

an inverter will work .....if your going with 120 volt item,s ....but will drain the battery faster than your solar cell,s can charge....try checking out recreation vehicle dealer,s ......they have many thing,s that run on 12 volt,s.....from coffee maker,s to television set,s to fan,s ,etc......watch your wattage/amperage....too many thing,s at one time will overcome your charging source.....good luck!.......by the way...newer type,s of solar cell,s are more efficient & cost less than older type,s.....don,t listen to theese people saying that your not really going green.....new inovation,s are being invented nearly every day & the more people that go that way increase,s production ....bringing the cost of manufacture down......lowering the energy input to manufacture.....keep going green!

Answer 6

You under stand that solar panel took more energy to make then it will put out in it's life time? You're not being "green" by wasting energy using it.

Solar panels are great for when you're in the middle of no where. but not to be "green"

Anyway, you can run anything off a 12 volt battery all you need is an inverter.

If you buy a cheap inverter DON"T run any electronics on it.  If you buy a fullware inverter you will be ok  to run anything on it.
