This old diskette box is a perfect fit for my latest solar charger / regulator.

The regulator supports solar cell under 1Amp, and charge 12V battery.   In a normal day it charged a free maintenance lead acid battery of 1.2AmpH for just under 2 hours, on a solar panel rated 12V~18V 10 watts.  I used this battery on a 3 watts LED flood light, and it lasted a few hours, enough to light up my hall way.

It can also be used to trickle charge a 12V battery, using a small solar panel (lower voltage) as long as not exceeding 1Amp.  A small wind turbine also be used a power source.

Kelat Paya

Kelat Paya

This shrub is most commonly planted along the road or as hedges.  It can be sculptured easily because it can stand hard pruning.  But it easily attracts leaves eating caterpillers.

Locally known as Kelat Paya or Bunga Engineer in Brunei (Eugenia oleina of Syzygium Campanulatum family).
