I have an inverter and a gel battery that I just bought.

My 8ch cctv and the TV connected to it doesn't stay on for more than 15min when I connect it to the battery and inverter.


It's the second inverter I have and also a new battery.

I have checked the charge on the battery and it's on 14.2v.

I can't understand why it doesn't last.

I have the hikvision 8ch analytical DVR if that helps with info.

Doesn't anyone have any insight please?

Yes, so you either have really old equipment connected that draw a ton of amps or the battery is faulty..

I am leaning towards a faulty battery, as I doubt that anyone still use 72cm CRT TVs and the DVR and cameras wouldn't be drawing that much power..

A better and clear picture or pictures of the mysterious inverter would be nice.
As well as the power consumption figures of the DVR system and the TV.

Name and model if it it's not shown on the pictures.

Did you solver this issue?

For what it is worth, I have a Dahua 8 channel DVR with 8 Eagle Eye 1080P cameras connected to it as well as a Dell 23 inch monitor. It draws about 55w.h during the day and 65w.h during the evening.

The cameras typically use between 0.2 and 1.1Amp or 5-14W.

DVR is usually 2.5-5A all 12V. No matter if analogue or digital.

That battery is borked.

We have IP cameras that consume about 9-11W with IR and 6-7W without.
