In this video I have received a big sponsored battery for my Internet on a mountain project.
The company LANPWR - www.lanpwr.com has asked if I would help them, review/showcase one of their products in my video. And I ended up asking if I could review one of their Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery. They said yes and shipped me a huge 150AH one,, awesome!!

My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.

1.8kWh can also sustain a server, a switch, a webcam and your 4G-router. Just add a few more solar-panels and you can have a mountaintop mini-datacenter 😎

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

If this battery is not enough to keep a 10w 4G router and wireless bridge, going over winter,, I am in real problems. :-)

@@MyPlayHouse you're not in Viking-country anymore: they have a lot more sun-hours in Portugal during the winter 😉

@M4V3RiCkU235 Год назад

The antenna needs 6W/h so...144 W/day. That battery is simply overkill! Can power the setup for 2 weeks with no stress and without any sunlight. Anyway, I like the setup :)

Charge Controller Tuning: In order to maintain battery health it is important to program your charge controller with the correct system parameters such as maximum voltage, total battery Ah capacity (if applicable), etc.

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

Yarh,, this little thing has non of that,, but it does have a BMS to protect it from stupid charge controllers :-)

@SolarLantern424 Год назад

@@MyPlayHouse Some of the little £10 charge controllers like this one have buttons with a few helpful settings...I onve bought one like that for only £3!!! I guess check out the manual for your charge controller, it doesn't seem to have any buttons but who knows if it can do something special.

@digitalsparky Год назад

I agree with others, good that you're using a box for it, but put all the electronics in there, and put it underground - the deeper the better to normalise thermals for winter.

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

Well I hope it can handle the -5C to 45C that it might see in the top.

@LauwersFreddy Год назад

Morten, your Denmark wind turbine will probably work well on the top of that windy hill. Redundancy you know 😉. Thank you for making these videos.

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

That is truth,, that wind turbine would do more there :-) You are welcome,, and thank you for watching.

@guywhoknows Год назад

The only problem using that battery is the cold in winter. Good idea to put it in a hole, but I would have put all of the electricals in to the box as well. You're going to have to do a little something to fix that panel as a storm will take it down. Also hire a small van and go find some pallets that are usually free :) Oh and painters ezale (what you put to paint on) maybe a better option as you can fix the legs in the ground and also adjust it all in one. Will we see a wind turbine at some point too?

@stuartajc8141 Год назад

It is Portugal though, and the temerature doesn't often get below 10C, which wouldn't affect the batteries much

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

I only expect temperatures between -5C and 45C and when it freezes it is like a few hours. I am not putting up a wind turbine,, as there might be that nabo that does not like the look of it.

@SolarLantern424 Год назад

@@MyPlayHouse I think the battery box in the ground is a great idea! Out of sight and the ground should act as free insulation. Hopefully it will be cooler in the summer being in the ground too which might be more the concent in Portugal.

Thats one big battery Morten, you should connect an inline fuse to that battery power lead just in case. A large plastic storage box like used in the garden for tools should be a good option to store the battery up there.

There will be a large box in the next video.. :-) I did not find a fuse yet..

@CarlosJOlivQ Год назад

I would suggest adding a small fuse in line of the battery, if a component of the charger decides to die the worst way at some point those cables are going to melt.

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

I did look for a fuse holder :-/ did not find one,, but I know there is a fuse in the charge controller,, as I have blown it once :-)

@highflowhighflow9896 Год назад

you could use a satelitedish mount stand for flat roofs, they heavy and with some rocks on it it will survive heavy storms. Are you satisfied with your clampmeter? seems i have the same but orange color lol , since few months working great only minus for me is the display light it gos off automatic way too soon. Cheers with your project!

The clamp meter,, does act up sometimes,, like I set it to voltages DC,, and it wants to show me that in mA... dodgy..

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

@Tigger4747 Год назад

You need to fix the solar panel far better so the piece of wood doesn't smash through it if it gets windy up there! A proper frame that supports the edges would be pretty easy to build, even for a tech nerd. ;-)

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

This is just a small panel,, it should not see as much stress.

@SolarLantern424 Год назад

Is the panel facing south to get the most out of it? There is a solar tilt app for android where you put the phone on top of the panel to measure the tilt angle and there are calcs to tell you the best angle for time of year and location. Could be worth experimenting with.

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

It is facing south-ish. Not perfectly but pretty close :-)

@Eo_Tunun Год назад

Hey Morten! May I just say that I totally envy you for having a summit of your own? What one could do with it! A little observatory! ^^) The downside is that summits attract lightning, and that pole will be the most likely candidate to get struck. I guess it is advisable to get a little metal hut up there to put the electrics and electronics stuff in and make a good low impedance ground connection. How steep is the slope up to the summit? It looks like some 100%/45° in the video. Probably too steep to tackle with any kind of vehicle, right?

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

My best estimate is a 25-30% steep.. :-)

@f-s-r Год назад

That's a very good point. If there's no lightning rod nearby, and that's the highest point, it's likely to get struck by lightning. So, maybe it's a good idea to install a lightning rod up there? At least the connection to the house will be completely wireless, so there shouldn't be any danger to equipment in the house, even if the antenna gets struck.

@StefanoBettega Год назад

Are you routing wires to the box with pipes? Be sure to seal everything and have a box with a seal around the edges...

Battery life tip: place a plank of wood under it to raises it more and to insolate it from the ground better ..the ground tends to drain batterys ..what its sitting on is good but adding wood too will help ..if they sit directly on the ground they go dead alot quicker

@dennisolsson3119 Год назад

Do you base this on the old myth for lead acid batteries? That myth is based in something like the case being of wood that could swell and crack the internal glass containers or made of rubber (if memory serves me) and would start conducting if it got moist. So basically technologies not used for like 100 years, but the myth lives on. :)

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

This is a old myth from back when batteries was poorly insulated. the plastic that is used today is good enough to be placed on well leading metal (as it is in almost every car) and it want selfdrain.

@MyPlayHouse Год назад

But I do actually put it in a box in the next video.

@@MyPlayHouse Hi Morten, very nice battery. The voltage difference seen between charge controller and battery is likely due to the thin wire and length of it. You could check the voltage drop along the cable with your meter. Also, luckily the battery has a built-in BMS because I am not sure the PWM controller would have the ideal charging settings for a LiFePo4 battery (they must NOT be FLOAT charged). Looking forward to you hooking it all up to the Mikrotik LHGG LTE6 kit for better PlayHouse 2 internet👍. Have I missed something though, how are you getting the signal back to the house from the hill ?
