Status: Wet but a little warmer, 100AH boat batteries are ready for install.
Plans: Install boat batteries on APS2424 and test them.
Narrative: Had my morning cup of coffee and read my E-Mail.
The two boat batteries are ready, but I am missing two nuts for them. They’re attached with a little plastic bag, not on the ground and not in the car either. Drove to Batteries Plus and there they were under the monitor. The manager at Batteries & Bulbs gave me a hard time about virtually everything this morning. (I don’t plan on going back.)
Pulled enough out of the garage to gain access to the APS2424 batteries that were depleted. The Triplite 2400W APS2424 PowerVerter virtually runs the UPS subpanel all by itself. No big issues putting the wet cell batteries in place of the AGM batteries. The great thing about the wet cell batteries is they can support 800Amps! (Boat starting battery.) 2400W is roughly 100A, which is a lot from even an 18AH battery.
We cooked our fourth “Home Chef” meal tonight, Pork tenderloin. Again the vegetables are crisp and the meal was delicious!
I tested the APS2424 running the microwave tonight, it passed with flying colors. The depleted AGM batteries couldn’t supply enough current to run the microwave above 50% power. That opens the door to use the microwave during a power outage and replenish the batteries with solar power.
Tomorrow:
