  13. I ordered this with the 314Ah cells:

    jag35.com/products/ampbox-diy-

    And I ordered this inverter for it:

    jag35.com/products/lv6548-inve

    Should any of the more expert folks here think that's a mismatch, or know of a better inverter, let me know so I can cancel this inverter and get a correct one.

  15. Repeating this advice: if you used your generator last week to keep power to your house in Southern California, it most likely needs an oil change. Do it before Monday. They need an oil change every 100 hours. 5w30 or 10w30 depending on your model, usually. #generators #backuppower #PSPS #poweroutages

  16. Random question (ANSWERED!) for the misc. computer/electronics folks hanging out here. Has anyone tried replacing their UPS batteries (12V SLA/AGM) with the equivalent LiFePO4 replacements? (probably a reliable brand, like Bienno). Different charge points, but (in theory) the BMS in the batteries should not care? (UPDATE: Agreement was that you need a LiFePO4 compatible charger, and this will not work as a drop in solution, unless a battery has been designed as a drop in -- which the ones I had been looking at are NOT. Thanks everyone!) #batteries #LiFEPO4 #backuppower #electronics

  17. @u0421793 I realised that I needed a solar power source for the house in case of a power cut. The equipment (Power supply & panel) is actually for that but inherently just there as a backup not doing much. I realised that it is pointless having a solar node but no power to charge the phone interface to use the node. Emergency communication system needs power for the interface devices, & that is a tougher requirement, hence the OTT kit.

  18. And.. after three hours of using my truck to power the house, it's now time to charge the truck back up from mains - and also to charge my colleague's EV.

    I think we might be pulling a lot of power from the grid.

    Side note: As @TechConnectify showcased when doing a weekend "power the home" experiment, EV battery packs are MASSIVE and can run a 'normal' home for days without an issue.

    My home is not a normal home, because we have a sever room that runs while I'm at work, and we also have a fairly large house (and it was cold last night). We rely on electricity for all our heating and power.

    To give you an idea of how much more power we use, our sever room in a single day can consume about 40 kWh of power alone. So yeah, we consume more than normal people do.

    My Truck's battery went from 95% to about 75% in three hours, but that was with literally everything powered on that we'd normally use for an average morning. If we had an actual power cut, we'd be using FAR LESS than we did.

  23. Our local utility company are doing one of their "peak" events where you can earn up to $1 per kWh you don't use compared to your regular use during a given period.

    It took me about 35 minutes, but I finally convinced the F150 Lightning and Home Integration System to talk, which means 98% of my power is coming from the truck tonight ;)

    And that means prizes... I mean $$$ #ElectricVehicles #BackupPower #F150Lightning

  28. I am looking for a switch or relay to switch on command a mains AC power from mains to a battery-based backup AC power output. The switch should be able to be controlled/commanded from a raspberry pi or similar. The application is to switch the power to a large freezer and/or 500W dehumidifier on command from app in pi. No need for continuous power supply. Any suggestions very gratefully received.

    1. Platelet (blood) donation went well yesterday and I got a chair with a huge TV. For those that don’t know, platelets, unlike whole blood donation, take about 1.5 hours to extract which means you can watch an entire guilt-free movie while helping others.

    2. Backup power project for the house moved forward and should be done by the end of the weekend.

    3. My wife made a delicious, hearty minestrone soup that lasted two nights.
