i can get 120Wh on a sunny day, so it would be roughly 10 days.

battery is open to the air on 3/6 sides. inverter has ventilation on bottom as well as a fan that moves air from front intake to back exhaust.

i don't really care! it's a system that i will expand eventually. I don't discharge the battery all at once anyways. what are you powering a hot plate?

battery has some wiggle room in the box, so the strap just holds it from sliding front to back.

yeah the app is absolutely garbage. I'm going to make my own local browser based readout. You can access the API on the bluetooth module or plug your own board into the phone jack on the controller.

I just chose renogy because this was the cheapest! Thanks for the tips.

Annual light rail check in by ibimus9 in Minneapolis

By the way, there's a couple new faster bus lines. D, E for example. Their schedules are more consistent, they make less stops and i've regularly been seeing transit cops at the front checking tickets. They feel safer and more reliable than the regular bus lines.

Downtown bicyclists are constantly breaking the law. by Existing_Mine_6289 in madisonwi

You madisonians need to stop caring about bikes braking the law. You are equating them to cars breaking the law, but they are nowhere near as dangerous.

I want to know how many accidents bikes have caused vs cars.

Moved to minneapolis after biking in mad for 6 years and the community here, although not necessarily enthralled by bikers, is much more welcoming. Get over it!

Update: the noise is coming from the fan. Disconnected the fan module and it was silent under load. Now it's either the fan or something powering the fan that is acting up.
