They charge it, use it, and repeat, treating it like a tool rather than an electrochemical system with specific preferences about how it is treated. The ones who know six habits that take almost no daily effort, and can … Read more
Improper storage is one of the most common causes of premature capacity loss in solar generators, often doing more damage than regular use ever would. The two variables that matter most are the charge level at which you store the unit and the temperature of the storage location. This article covers both, explains why the … Read more
A solar generator with a blank, unresponsive display is often not permanently broken. The four most common causes are all owner-fixable, and most take less than two hours to work through in total. This article covers each cause in order of likelihood, with the exact steps to diagnose and fix the problem. If all four … Read more
LiFePO4 solar generator battery maintenance comes down to three requirements, and most of what circulates online either does not apply to this chemistry or was written for lead-acid batteries decades ago. If you avoid deep discharges, keep the unit topped up during storage, and stay aware of temperature when charging, you have done everything the … Read more
