Considering getting a 2nd battery next month.

I actually don't use the instapot that much, maybe 15 minutes a day total. Bottom says it's 700 watts, so I'm using maybe 175-200 watts a day, during the day, which gets replaced before the sun goes down. Don't really want to shut the fridge down. I am on my laptop quite a bit during the day...

During the brightest part of the day it's generally between 15 and 20 amps. RIght now (about1:30 in the afternoon on a pretty sunny day) it's at 15.6amps, but the charge doesn't seem to be going above 13.6 or maybe 13.8 volts when it should go up to 14.4. Which is why I think there may be an...

Replaced the wire but it's still draining. Wondering if it's the battery at this point...maybe a problem with the bms.

Definite discoloration on the cable right after the top fuse.

Oh NO! Not the warranty!!

So in the last several days I have noticed that, for some reason, my battery charge isn't lasting as long as it used to. In fact, it's lasting maybe 2/3rds as long as it was even a week ago. I haven't added any additional drains on the system recently nor have I changed the wiring since a...

For cooking I would go with an instant pot. Induction uses far too much power. Plus with an instant pot it really is set it and forget it, much like a rice cooker. I know it may sound a bit hyperbolic, but you can really cook almost anything in an instant pot...it's like an electric pressure...

I live in a minivan myself and I have three of the 100w squarish panels from Santan on my roof (for 300 watts of solar, they even tilt...Thanks Doug!!), My 100AH battery, even while using my laptop, running my fridge, charging my phone etc it's rare that the battery isn't completely charged...

Had some visitors to my camp in Pahrump this morning.

I agree. Best time to fix something is when you don't need it...that way there's no pressure to get it fixed quickly.

If you want to talk about dividing a region into too many states, New England pretty much takes first prize on that front. However, that isn't the issue being discussed. Please stay on topic.

True, but Blythe is only 20 miles away and has at least an Ace Hardware (not sure if it has others). So it isn't like supplies are all that far away.

Yeah was real fun trying to sleep lol

And a great job! I now have plenty of power for my laptop! And yes, it is HEAVY (mostly because of the battery).

Most of it was stuff I already had from when I was planning my van build....before my van's engine decided to give up the ghost.

I guess this technically qualifies as a trailer? But sheesh...might as well be a house. Three axles and has to be pulled with a Semi. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-cmc-valiha-is-a-luxury-mega-trailer-designed-like-a-15-million-work-of-art-205592.html

Awesome!

If I can get a ride into town I can pick up non-alcoholic drinks. Just let me know what and how much

I think it was meant as raising their hand to volunteer to make the gravy.
