Alternate Power Source for Xiegu x6100 - A UPS Battery Backup

I have used this battery in the past to power up things like IP Phones, IP Cameras and WiFi access points in the field with good results, so I thought I would see if it provides enough to power to operate the Xiegu x6100 at full power. It works! At 8800 mAh running 12 volts, this is a nice alternative to more expensive Bioenno batteries of the same capacity - at least for this radio anyway. I guess the only downside to this option is that you have to recharge the batter with 110 volt AC power.

As long as it puts out the 12 volts +, and amperage you need to safely operate the radio, you are good! Then its just a matter of Amp Hours, that determines how long you can use it!

I have a usbp cable and compatible portable powerbank and it works fine too.

2amps at 12vdc??? $54? A 12vdc 6ah battery is $18 on amazon?????

Wow that is nice but it would need more than 2 amps at 5vdc to run a Pi4. Sure it will and is fine at the boosted 12vdc for the 6100. I'll look further to find something that is less current limited.

Maybe you can use a step down cable from the 9 or 12v DC power out to get your needed 5v and whatever amps you need for the raspberry PI 4 like this one? www.amazon.com/Eonvic-Micro-Right-Angle-Nucleus/dp/B088FKNTNV?th=1

@@MarkWarrick 5v at 2A right on the front USB it is probably all current regulted

That said 8800 maH not ma. Big huge diff there:)

FYI "alternate" and "alternative" are not the same word.

The "8800 mAh" figure means almost nothing by itself. What voltage? Internal cell voltage? 5 volts? 9volts? 12 volts? The nameplate on the back of your battery also said the 12-volt output was limited to 2 Amps. The 6100 uses 2.35 Amps at 13.8 volts (32.43 Watts as measured in the ARRL lab) and your battery is only rated to supply 24 Watts. I suspect the 6100 will just shut off if you tried to transmit at full power. You may get away with it at 5 Watts.

I was running the radio with 12 Volts, plenty for full power operation. That works out to 96 watt hours. It’s about the same as an 8ah Bioenno.

@g-whiz286 Год назад

@@MarkWarrick - What was the voltage being displayed on the radio DURING a full-power transmission? Were you getting a full 10 Watts while using this battery? How did you calculate Watt/hours from the information given?

@MarkWarrick Год назад

@@g-whiz286 12 volts and yes it operates at full power. Use the amps to watts formula.

friend, your footage is being damaged, your cell phone catches the light reflected on the radio x6100 screen, film against the light so that your reflection of your face image does not appear..the light hinders us from seeing the screen, thanks for the videos 73

very good this sdr ,😃 congratulations , little power, but it works well, exiting a linear transistorized 5w of this radio, how much does it come to an end? my dream, soon I will have Mine, I have radio kenwood Ts850s and dsp100. ok Mark ,good contacts, many friends73 PP2ZM-QRZ. Brazil..😅
