A number of visitors to this site have asked about power supplies for operating battery valve radios from the mains. Many later radios use four 7-pin valves and require a 90V HT supply at
The lead-acid battery pack is formed by a 12V and a 6V 1.3Ah batteries. Between both batteries there is a total of 6 +3 cells = 9 cells. The charging circuit has to be constant voltage, not current. This is my humble contribution to that warm and unique sound that the valves provide to our ears. As an enthusiast of electronics, here is
The battery is going flat and if I charge the battery I can hear a buzzing noise from the engine - I sounded like it was comming from below the plastic cover but removed this and can still hear the buzzing.
The battery manufacturer recommends a charging voltage of 14.4-14.8V during the absorption stage and 13.6-13.8V during the float stage. The bubbling sound only starts in
This power supply lets you use common Li-ion or LiPo cells to provide the A & B supplies for battery valve sets with HT in the range of 24-135V and LT of 1.2-2.5V. by Ken Kranz & Nicholas Vinen.

With the recent proliferation of Ultracapacitor usage in high current applications, battery OEMs have been ramping up to produce these devices with similar manufacturing techniques. Rebling has been working to provide solutions to
The same situation will also occur if battery type valves are used in a mains or mains/battery set. Also, some valves are coated or have metal cases such that the innards cannot be seen. In these cases, one has to assume that the valve heater is functioning correctly unless
the only sound valves pro has made is the transition sound when two keys overlap, with most presets there is no sound. Tagged: Valves; 0. Answers 377 Battery 4; 839 Guitar Rig & FX; 426 Massive X & Synths; 1.3K Other Software & Hardware; 5.7K Maschine; 18 Share ideas for Maschine; 7.2K Traktor;
There is a sorta fix for it with updated breathers on the battery but I still notice it after getting the revised ones. Overall, it''s perfectly normal and nothing to be alarmed of.
Your valve cover has failed. You need to start by replacing that for the drivability concern, then teaching in valvetronic limits/deleting adaptations and go from there.
Mullard 2 Volt Valves for battery receivers From a Catalogue of Mullard Master Valves 1934-5. 4024 Thus the PM22C pentode is designed to give a large AC output with low mean anode current consumption when used in conjunction
The immobilizing agent prevents acid leakage when the valve pops. VRLA battery has a pressure relief valve that activates when the battery starts building pressure of Hydrogen gas. This is generally a result of being recharged at excessive
4 Valves (DK32, DF33, DAC32and DL35) Battery only (90V H.T., 1.5V L.T.) Built-in frame arial. CURRENT STATE: Has been worked on in the past. Two of the controls are not original, and the loudspeaker is a modern
But tell me something, I am currently using a 9V battery to trigger the circuit and everything works fine. My use-case is very simple. The valve has a water reservoir connected to it. Whenever I trigger the circuit, the valve opens and closes twice ( for 80ms). This lets the valve release two tiny water droplets that fall out.
Sound is amazingly clean! The use of the VT45''s is not their intended purpose but being rated at 3.5W with ht limit of 300v its somewhat unusual for a battery valve! (440mA Filament) Picture attached (I hope...) Regards David. 20210215_121231-4.jpeg.
capacity battery, the OCV of the battery when fully charged is 13.18 volts, while 11.8 volts when the battery is completely discharged, as shown in Figure 3 [21, 22]. Figure 3 Battery SoC Against OCV [14] Depth of discharge with a value of more than 80% on a standalone PV system battery can occur during the rainy season.
Valve''s response to the Team Fortress 2 bot issue While Valve has not remained entirely silent in the face of the bot crisis, their response has been slow and often seen as insufficient by the community. Over the past few years, Valve has released sporadic updates aimed
1) 90v HT supply of between 10 and 20mA: 2) 1.5v LT supply of between 100mA (4-valves or 25mA) and 250mA (5 valves of 50mA). However, being battery powered, the LT supply would
Usually the clicking sound happens when the battery is very low, so it is a bit puzzling that you''re hearing this when the battery seems to get good. Some cars also have valves in their vacuum
Inspired by this thread where a guy made himself an external battery. I decided to get the battery from the right hand controller I bought a replacement for so I still can play with my external
Battery power is possible but these pedals also have a standard 9V input socket and consume 95mA. As with many current Vox guitar products, each one of these pedals employs a Nutube valve in the signal path. These miniature triode
We will stop using Duracells. I wouldn''t go that far. If you can''t use rechargeable NiMH AA/AAA/C/D/9V batteries - which is the real move - from Eneloop (non-Pro) or Amazon Basics (surprisingly great) because those have a lower starting
I notice an intermittent clicking sound under the hood (and notice that it makes the needle on the charger move with every click). A little more looking around and I find the
Only happens periodically, so a sat on the drive for a few mins with the bonnet open, and it comes from around the battery side of the engine compartment, and it really does
There are two main kinds of 7 pin miniature Western Battery valves: 1) The RCA series released in 1940 (1R5 – 1T4 – 1S5 – 1S4 or 3S4 ) It thus needs twice the filament current. Virtually every AM valve portable using
In this diagram the battery valve has its grid returned via the grid return resisitor to a negative potential provided by a bias battery. The grid is thus suitably negative with respect to its cathode
THE ALL -STAGE VALVE. This is a Multi -Grid Critical Distance valve which is so constructed, that it makes possible the production of a Multi -Valve receiver, such as a superhet., using only one type of valve throughout.

It is also doubly important with battery sets to check "that" capacitor, isolating the grid of the output valve. The output transformers required to match these miniature valves are wound with extremely thin wire, and are particularly

The speaker coil will be 3 ohms max. The 1S5 filament current (50mA) will go trough both the 0.47 ohm R17 resistor and the 4 ohm output transformer secundary & speaker coil. This 5-10ma DC current will counteract the opposite 8-9mA plate current on the primary winding, so a smaller core is needed.
I''m wondering if the valve lineup and the HT voltage is correct ? Without any service info. I''d do as you suggest and fit the appropriate screen grid dropping resistors plus bypass capacitors then

If the Battery bubbles, that usually means, you produce Hydrogen and Oxygen (some call it HHO). That''s explosive. That usually means, you loose water from the battery - need to check, if they

An unusual sound, like sloshing water, can be alarming and suggest issues that need immediate attention. Potential causes include a leak, internal damage, or improper

the only way thebattery will make hissing noise is when the current is more than the battery can absorb chemically. At that time, water electrolysis occurs and hydrogen and oxygen are produced creating gas pressure which is vented by an over pressure valve. the battery is getting more current than it needs after bulk charge phase.
Most cars have a load reduction relay, and there may be others as well, that apply power only when the ignition is on. Usually the clicking sound happens when the battery is very low, so it is a bit puzzling that you're hearing this when the battery seems to get good.
Bubbling is merely the destruction of water. If the batteries are not sealed, replace the water with some really clean water like, "deionized" or at least, "distilled". If the battery is sealed, you can't fix the water level. They are sealed, VRLA AGM batts. They are sealed, VRLA AGM batts.
When the battery can not absorb energy as fast as you are adding energy, the water in the electrolyte uses up that energy to make hydrogen and oxygen. There is no magic chemical in there that bubbles because it's happy or sad. It's just acid and water.
At that time, water electrolysis occurs and hydrogen and oxygen are produced creating gas pressure which is vented by an over pressure valve. the battery is getting more current than it needs after bulk charge phase. Thank you for your answers!
AGM batteries should not bubble during normal charging. That will eventually boil off the electrolyte and kill the battery. Bertus, sorry for the "hijacking". Didn't know it's a bad thing to do. I apologize.
