Narrative: No stimulus check yet, Boo! Work was pleasant and we went for a walk around the block for a break. Took a nap at noon then off to the liquor store for some skinny margarita mix for the wife. (Which they didn’t have.)
Home again, I have had this “No Fuss” solar charge controller for years. They have been perfect for my low power needs.
I bought a classic charge controller some time ago and put it on the house solar panels today. I am not certain if it is any more efficient than the simple one I had though?
I will have to measure the power output with a RC DC power meter to know how the two compare. One problem with these commercial charge controllers is that the battery voltage determines the system voltage. If I put a diode on the output as I did the previous controller I am not sure it will remember the 24V voltage needed to charge the batteries.
Tried to set the TPM sensors in the Blue Ford Focus. Turns out the left rear tire is the spare and does not have a TPM. The tire place also will not work on the tires since the tread wear is almost to the wear bars. Four more tires, yummy!
