12V Battery State of Charge

I thought I would read my new battery's instruction.  It did come with explanation of the state of charge, I may have inadvertently discharged my old battery a bit too much.  On the other hand, this battery had been heavily abused, this is just its new chapter.  Let's hope the trickle charge can revive it.

Foggy Ride

I planned to have a little trip in the dales, and the forecast has turned, it was a bit wet and very foggy.  I got to the biker cafe, I was the first and only biker there, a few car came by, but no bikes.  I also decided not to venture further into the dales, I just went shopping instead.  My winter bike gear is just getting to their temperature limits.

Smelly Painting

I finally got around to do some painting, but they are solvent based paints, and they do smell a bit.  Maybe I should have painted earlier in the Autumn so when I ventilate the house, it is less cold!

Mouse Hole

There is a little hole in my garden, and I think it is a mouse hold.  Either way, I was working on that patch and it got partially filled in.  Lo and behold, something kicked up the patch and open up that hole...  Only if I have an infrared camera to film it.

DC Shocks

As it turns out, microinverter could discharge DC above safe voltage.  We should try not to be too complacent.

Splice or Joint

I was hoping to splice two came and give my XT60 cable a cigarette plug, then I decided I should join the two terminal instead, which is a better solution, as it did not include cutting.

Power Up III

The revised game plan for the 3rd time.  It was a cloudy day and we had all the heaters going, we managed to draw nearly 10kwh in one hour!  It was a good session.
