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...

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...

Strip mining prevents forest fires I wonder how much whisky it took to thunk that one up. ?

Just curious about how shocking I am as I walk across the room and touch the sleeping cat on the nose. :eek: Am I doing that with DC or AC voltage?

I have decided to help out in case you have never had a banana sandwich. Elvis Presley brought the sandwich to the limelight in my lifetime. He enjoyed his fried from what I understand. I was enjoying them long before the "Super Star" made them famous. Here is how I make mine. 2 slices of...

The big question is, will my hair grow back White and Kinky or will it grow back like it was this morning? :cry: FYI: The clamp meter doesn't read the voltage very well unless the clamp is wet. There's one advantage of having water right there.

I am trying to understand, IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS, the difference between the two loads as they relate to building the most efficient solar system. Here is what I think I know so far. Inductive loads are motor loads and magnetic (coils, electromagnetic) loads. Resistive loads are loads that have...

I've had some time to work with my kiln and figured out how to reuse and recycle some items that may have otherwise gone to the dump. Most of what I have is iron, there is some Al-you-mineeum and a bit of tin mixed in, but I got it all melted and poured (actually drained) into molds for...

So today, with 60 degree temps, my pickumup twuck wouldn't start. I put it on the charger at 6 Amps for a couple hours and Yahoo, off I went. Drove it here, drove it there - crap I shut it off. Barely started, made it home and cleaned off the dust n dirt to see the manufacture date of 12/12 on...

Yesterday it was 80 beautiful degrees. Today it blew then blew rain, then blew snow and now the rain is frozen under the snow. ? Is it Spring yet, because the weather here in Wyoming is springing back and forth.

So, we get 12 hours of sun up and sun down today. The big yellow ball is @ 45 degrees when we reach the highest sun angle of the day, about 1:00 pm. Just figured I would toss the ball out there to see who else finds days like this interesting. Numbers are approximate & your solar mileage may...

Hi honey I'm hooooo, WTH? Why is your Mother here? Thanks @svetz for the picture. :ROFLMAO:

I've decided my next career will be putting the Boss Lady, and her 5 sewing machines, to work. We have a mile or two of Nylon Rip-stop fabric. We found it in a musty old garage and are estimating the age at 40 to 50 years old BUT it's fine. Color choices are Orange and the various shades it...

I'm starting with 4 awg and shootin for about 60 Amps in my safety switch disconnect. If nothing else, it will save the rest of my battery cables.

There are a bunch of different ways to get snow off of panels but who wants to share which BROOM works and which broom fails. Here in Wyoming we just got some dry, easy to blow snow. Next month the snow will be wet, heavy, sloppy stuff. What have you used, the good and the bad? This thread...

I have been searching for a LIFEPO4 charger which puts out more than 20 Amps. The cost of the AC charger is about the same as an inexpensive MPPT Solar Charger. Why not buy the inexpensive 12/24 Volt Charge Controller instead of a "dedicated LIFEPO4" AC charger? I will have an additional...

They say it helps chemotherapy work better. https://jeccr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13046-019-1251-7

Many areas will be experiencing very cold temps in a few days. ? New solar system owners may not be aware of this fact, so here's a big heads up. Extreme low temperatures will result in higher than normal voltage from solar panels. The higher than expected voltage may exceed the limitations of...

Sometimes I just sit and wonder about things. :confused: shenanigonian shə-năn′ĭ-gō′nē-ən noun, verb, adverb, adjective, ? A mischievous or malicious act; an intentional misrepresentation of something. An underhanded act or deceitful statement for the benefit of the shenaniger. Nonsensical...

Here is an example: I search, from the forum home page, for 9/16 within my content and get one result. In searching for 13/16 I get another result. Many questions are virtually identical and many answers are repeated over and over and over. I think everyone here could be more productive if...

covered with solar panels? ?

Has anyone noticed how folks get whackie in the knoggin whenever the NightLight gets turned up to "FULL POWER"? Two blondes are sitting on a balcony at night staring at the full moon. One asks the other, "which one is farther, the moon or Florida?" The other responds

A stranger was seated next to Little Johnny on the plane, the stranger says “Let’s talk flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.” Little Johnny, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to the stranger, “What would you like to discuss?”...

The specs are awesome. A 50 gallon tankless water heater ? Not sure how they get 50 Gallons Per Minute through 1/2 inch copper but hey they say they can. Anyone know where I can get a 120 volt 35 amp household receptacle? It uses 3000 or 3800 watts - they aren't quite sure which. There are...

Can I get a MOD relocate this if need be. :( We may have lost a supplier.

I need it for assembling a solar system properly. As best I can tell there are bar, click, click and digital ratchets, click and digital adapters and the screwdriver types fancied by gun folks. I am looking for good quality. Perhaps I will get one for inch pounds and another for foot pounds...

If there was a "Humorous Discussion" section I would have posted there. Mods feel free to move this to wherever you like. All Winder long the damn wind blows like a bat outta hell around here. The sun is currently hanging around 26 degrees above the horizon AT NOON, Wa Freakin Hoo. I'm old...

limited to 420 characters? We should tell everyone Man!

I am not selling anything, have no interest in anything anyone else is selling regarding this post, just offering it up. We're a couple old folks that won't take the jab, don't wear masks, are not fans of big pharma, haven't been to an md for over a decade. When we get sick or have some issue...

For example: Dzl, one of the Moderators has this as a "user title": Perpetual Newbie & Unofficial Forum Librarian I want mine to say "Superman". How would I do that? :confused:

So now I am on plan "C" and feel like I just came home from the dollar store. Where can I get some of these ?? Pushed the buy button: 8 Newpowa 100 watt panels; VOC 20.23; VMP 17.0; ISC 6.25; IMP 5.89 1 PowMr 3000W Solar Hybrid Inverter 24V DC to 110V-120V AC, Pure Sine Wave, 60amp MPPT Charge...

Are these two different ways of saying the the same thing? VOC Temperature Coefficient C° and Temperature coefficient of PMAX I am trying to figure out which numbers to plug into the MidNite Solar Classic sizing tool. Thanks

It seems as though everyone wants to include a charger with a 120/240v inverter. Isn't this a typical US electrical setup? All 50 states I've been to have homes with 120 & 240 vac, and appliances to match those voltages. The fridge wants 120 vac & the dryer wants 240 vac. I think I want to...

Hello folks, I am new to solar and this is my first build. I have studied quite a bit and now feel confident that I know enough to be dangerous. Any corrections, advice, “Do Not Do This”, or other input would be greatly appreciated. Want more info, please ask and be patient, I have a dumb phone...

Hello to all Just some guy living in Wyoming, wearing cleats to shovel snow off the ice. Getting old enough to say stuff like "I remember when" and "been there done that". I've played with volts and amps for a long time. I know enough to be dangerous on grid. Lets see what happens now...
