Today’s Notes
General: Had a hard time getting to sleep before midnight. Woke up from a nightmare where pink insulation was replicating and filling the entire warehouse I was in. (Never had that dream before.) All four of my 5AH EGO batteries are roughly the same capacity using the EGO inverter run time. I will continue to rotate thru all four of them to wear them evenly. It appears that the EGO 2AH battery can fail prematurely in the lawn mower because of the currents drawn. (I got the 5AH battery for that reason, it’s a 2P14S battery and should be able to support 40 amps.) The 3P14S battery is 7.5AH and but is a monster to carry around. The only EGO product that I am looking to purchase is a leaf blower, but I don’t have leaves. Let my refrigerator run off of the two 100W solar panels on the roof again today. The refrigerator UPS batteries ended up at 26.3V yesterday afternoon which is short of a full charge. (But it was cloudy some of the day.) They were 27.3V by 6 in the morning from the UPS charging current. I have a Securify Peanut plug that turns off the UPS power at 8 in the morning forcing the UPS to go on battery until 2 in the afternoon every day. Woke up at 830 and had a delicious cup of coffee. I’ve ordered two more APC 1300VA UPS units from EBAY for less than $50.00 each, I hope they overpack them. The last one I got was severely damaged by the post office carriers. Those two will end up at my Aunt’s house running her network. I’ll extend their run time with 2 banks of 18AH batteries if I can which will give it about 2 hours run time. (Her power fails pretty often.) Called in sick for my grandson’s party, I really don’t know what I have or if it is contagious.
Accomplishments: I am transitioning from reactive to Proactive because the burden of my mother seems to be settling down some now that my Aunt lost her job.
Tomorrow: Church at 08:00
Purchases: Bought two more UPS units for Ricky’s farm. (I don’t have batteries for them yet.) Also bought a boost charge controller.
Injuries: Arguments: Exercise: Feelings: Travel: Noteworthy: Ricky: Nancy: Kathy:
