I ordered a dozen batteries because i got a good deal at 12 if i ordered that many, i dont have to use them all.

I do not want to grid tie the system as i want it to only mine when the wind blows.

The reason i was asking if anybody had any ideas as to bypassing the inverter so i could go straight 12 v from the batteries with a voltage regulator was to avoid converting dc to ac then back to dc again.

The plan is to set up an S5 so it mines only when it has power from the wind, turn off when the power is gone. To have Bitcoins mined literally from the wind and wind only. Just to say i did it.

first.... you need to mine 24/7..mining equipment should be turned on and left on...repeated heating and cooling is not good...when do light bulbs burn out.. Huh

?...also pools like a constant hashing rate for a constant payout....how will you turn on everything when the wind blows... second... what type of battery's did you buy... size, type, capacity. .....what is the power usage of an S5... 3rd..How much money have you spent in this wind generator and did you buy it exclusively to mine bitcoins....

With that many batterys... you should have looked into a 24v setup...or higher..

Thanks, i really think your missing the details or really have no clue as to 12v systems. I have a PC pulling 850 watts pretty much non stop going off one of the very same wind turbines that has shut off maybe twice in the past month. I have a steady enough flow of wind to keep the turbine going enough to keep the batteries fully charged. I have no worries about a 600 Watt appliance turning off and on every 10 minutes.

The question was about methodologies of bypassing the inverter system to run direct 12v with a voltage regulator not about installing a wind turbine system which i have done many times.
