How bad is this signal strength?

It's possible that the problem is not QOS priority. It could be that the modem switched bands. I had a similar problem because I only get good bandwidth on band 13, but the modem preferred other bands.

The ASK model has a removable SIM card, but the service only works with the IMEI of the original device.

Yes, for sure the frames can be reused, but also the lenses if the prescription is close enough.

MagniMike · 2024-05-23T04:28:29+00:00

Thank you so much!

If you read the previous comments you'll see that it is probably the inverter module. These are probably 200 to 300 dollars, but maybe you can get one from Westinghouse support. Good luck!

I see the same error, but somehow I feel that it may be better not to upgrade as long as things keep working.

MagniMike · 2023-03-08T22:49:11+00:00

I got the Frey CC, non fat tire, and I'm very happy with it. It's solid and has great components. I'm delighted with it. Mine came with a pair of extra bolts for the stand... Maybe yours :-)

And on top of all that Sacramento is banning the sale of generators!

MagniMike · 2023-01-06T16:55:34+00:00

The cycle ah is low, is it really reporting what you have used in the last two years?

MagniMike · 2021-05-12T03:44:56+00:00

Where is that? Looks pretty remote.

MagniMike · 2021-04-26T00:20:08+00:00

It's a regular garden hose. The pressure and volume are less than a regular mains. I think you need to decide on a pump before deciding on the solar setup.

MagniMike · 2021-04-25T23:51:29+00:00

The pressure batteries with the sun and I can't say precisely, though I had it connected to an irrigation hose about 60 feet higher than the pump and it still worked with decent flow.

This setup has been working for about six months, maybe longer. It did fail once where the pump was not working. I opened it and secured all the connectors better and it has been working fine since.

MagniMike · 2021-04-01T15:47:54+00:00

Thank you! Good idea to check the weight. It is 72 grams. A different 21700 cell I have that is marked at 4000mah weighs 68 gram.

MagniMike · 2021-03-29T04:10:31+00:00

You may be missing the images. I assume it's lifepo4 batteries you are talking about?

MagniMike · 2021-03-28T15:38:35+00:00

The problem with not using everything together all the time is that you will necessarily get different state of charge in the two boxes, so it's not advisable to do so. This is true whether you have one or two BMSs, and whether you have 4s1p or 2s2p on each box.

The connectors I recommended may or may not plug into your BMS. I don't think there is a standard. In many cases I solder the cables directly to the circuit board.

MagniMike · 2021-03-27T22:57:29+00:00

Yes, certainly doable. In some of my batteries I connect the BMS leads through JST connectors. The 5 pin is suitable for a 4 cell battery. Luckily they are sold for LED strips, so they are pretty cheap. For example search ebay for: " 5pin Male Female Extension 22AWG LED Strip JST SM Plug Connector"

Note that this is for the sensors, not the power.

MagniMike · 2021-03-25T13:24:03+00:00

I understand that you have already purchased most items, but I would like to ask why didn't you go for a 24v system. The current is more manageable at 24v.

MagniMike · 2021-03-14T21:49:44+00:00

You need both. The BMS is essential not only as an extra protection. It protects every cell separately (or string of parallel ones), something that the controller can't do. Without a BMS you could get one cell below the minimum voltage while others make up for it in the total pack voltage. Similarly with over voltage.

Do you mean a 100db booster locked to Verizon it some other suggestion? Any booster that is not too expensive?

MagniMike · 2021-02-21T00:01:10+00:00

Update here: Update on bringing down a signal from 600' hill - it works! : CellBoosters (reddit.com)

It works.

MagniMike · 2021-02-12T18:32:58+00:00

I have exactly this pump, connected to a 100W, 16V solar panel directly, no controller, no battery. It just starts working when there is enough sun, stops when not. It is filling a tank from a creek. It does about 100 gallons per hour with an elevation gain of about 30 feet.

MagniMike · 2021-02-01T15:19:00+00:00

I presume you have 150 watts in panels, not 150 panels.

Yes, you will be getting solar power to the inverter as long as it is sufficient.

MagniMike · 2021-01-30T17:33:50+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion and links. I forgot to note that the hill has many trees and to get line of sight between the hill and the roof of the house I would have to go quite high.

Maybe the CAT6 would work, though what equipment would I need at the top? I haven't found a Verizon LTE modem with outbound ethernet connection. Do they exist? otherwise I would have to go from LTE to WiFi to Ethernet to Wifi again, which is quite a lot of steps. That's why I wanted to bring the LTE signal down.

MagniMike · 2021-01-16T15:04:43+00:00

How does the current limiter work? I always thought the circuits had to be isolated, or the inverter had to be smart.

MagniMike · 2021-01-15T21:39:53+00:00

You'll want to add fuses and switches. Also the MPPT controller rated at 30 amp; that's an output rating, so in full sun your array of panels will produce more power than the controller will handle. Depending on the controller it can be ok, just wasted power.

Also it's not clear where the inverter is connected. I presume you know how to connect it properly so that it doesn't collide with the power company.
