are you hooking up solar to that battery? We thought about getting some of those, but they are very expensive. The ones we got were costly enough, more than the solar panels and rest of equipment. We have Trojan golf cart batteries
Yep. We already have hookup in our garage for three lithiums running off solar panels on the roof. The Oupes Mega 1 and Mega 2 that we're messing with indoors have portable solar panels that you take outside, weigh about 30 lbs each. We don't have our lithiums in the garage charging at the moment because of the cold, they can't get that cold, our garage isn't heated. Right now husband is just electrically charging inside to see what they can run and how long. The big fridge was an experiment. I'm thinking the next big step is more outside panels with hookups inside where the temp is moderate for the lithiums. So at the moment we have two portable Oupes panels, permanent panels on our garage roof, 4 Millertech lithium batteries with inverters and chargers, An Oepus Mega 1, an Oepus Mega 2 with an extra battery to it. Not sure what to expect with the 100 lber arriving today. Husband has some "stack" he's building or something. His projects, I just plug stuff in and move stuff. He's the engineer.
I've never liked depending on anyone for anything, especially a utility company. The only time I ever have a power outage is in the first cold days of fall when the diesel gells up or when I forget to fill the generator day tank. Other than that, our electric system works flawlessly.
we had to dump a almost frozen garbage can we put under our leaky hydrant. Everything is frozen except that hydrant! How can that even be?
