    Container setup - What issues and extra cost will I have to think about?

    I like the idea. You may want to set up some video & audio monitoring so you don't have to go out there to keep an eye and ear on things. An inexpensive security system will make it easy to see and hear if your equipment is doing something wrong. Snow and ice accumulation could be monitored...

    Baby Monitor battery failing. Can I replace Li-ion with Lithium Polymer?

    I have a "Hello Baby" HB24RX that's 5 years old and the monitor works fine plugged in but for only 10 minutes on battery power. The original battery, model: 503450, is 3.7V, 950mAh, Li-ion with 3 wires (black, yellow, red). Everything I find on the net is confusing me with the inclusion of...

    I hope you are correct. Thanks for the reply... which I can read normally. EDIT: A few minutes later I unchecked everything in my preferences which said "PUSH". Everything is back to normal.

    Page format AND Push Notifications - problem solved -

    Push Notifications is new to me. Who's trying to push what to where? Do I want to allow "push notifications"? The pages look weird, check out the pic to see what I am viewing. :confused: I am always on the same computer, at the same location and using the same browser. There is a request for...

    Followed Thread Notifications

    Back in the day, some months ago, I was able to scroll through many pages of "ALERTS". ? Now I can only look at a single page. ? Did something change recently?

    Dedicated LIFEPO4 charger VS Charge Controller that charges all batteries?

    Thanks for the info and additional considerations. A smart charger would be easier than what I have had in mind. Keeping my posts out of the Up In Smoke forum is the ultimate goal.

    MC4 alternatives

    Hello Malum, welcome to the forum. I am not using any "push connect fittings" in my system. My only advice for the push connect fittings is to toss them. Maybe you should open the junction box and look for any issues. I have seen wires loosely connected to terminals.

    Bellyache or Brag, what's your weather?

    Did you enjoy the storm or not so much? I'm guessing there is a great deal of new vegetation popping up. I've traveled to Baja over a hundred times and saw rain on only two occasions.

    Welcome to the party chevyman09. Happy to here you got some good info from the thread. I enjoyed learning my way through it. I went from knowing nothing to KNOWING EVERYTHING... NOT. ;) The Boss Lady changed my mind numerous times before the first "Solar System" was created. At this time I...

    Using my solar generator to pump a 55 gallon drum of honey

    Yep, could use concrete anchors but they are permanent. Wood patches a bit easier in case the panels are relocated. Freeze/Thaw will possibly blow the daylights out of the beautiful finish on the floor. MN gets perty cold.

    Best Invention in the last 100 years that you use a lot

    You could look at Louggle Earth archives. Use the "Decade Rewind" feature. ? There were probably only a few cars traveling that distance back then.

    Using my solar generator to pump a 55 gallon drum of honey

    I'm a fan of pallets. Looks like a couple 2x4s (depicted in black), a handful of screws and some "L" brackets (red) will remedy the blowing away issue.

    Newb looking for advice on portable system to charge cordless tool batteries

    Welcome to the party autobon7. Yep, what Rednecktek said. We are assuming you have an automobile of some sort. Just add a solar panel or two, wires, charge controller and a fuse or breaker.

    Little blue brick, or cylinders

    I think I get what Fingers is asking. Terminology may not be totally accurate but I have wondered the same thing (maybe). Why use the blue rectangular VS the cells which are cylindrical (they look like the D batteries in a flashlight)? I guess Sunshine answered the question. Cylindrical cells...

    Growatt SPF 12000T DVM MPV vs 2x EG4 6500EX-48

    Welcome to the party Dave A. You can say whatever you want about solar (within reason), I do and sometimes it makes sense. Kornbread is right, lots of questions. NorCal, SoCal, coast, mountains or downtown LA? I use a fused combiner box to turn off the PV DC before it enters the house...

    My 12 volt solar trailer

    Many switches which refer to themselves as a "Disconnect" are not designed to cope with the DC arc. Unless the switch specifically states it is safe to use under load, it probably is not. If the instructions state something like "STOP MOTOR BEFORE DISCONNECTING" the switch is not suitable for...
