The Alt-Tech guide to Surviving Dead Battery Season
July is the heart of winter, just after the winter solstice when the days are at their shortest with lots of clouds in the air and high humidity is around is the perfect time to do some checks.
We recommend keeping a Ruuvi tag or similar temperature and humidity data logger alongside your system. Keep an eye on system to make sure you have no moisture leaking into your battery room
and to check it is holding suitable charging temps during the frosty mornings.
This time of year you may be relying on some generator assistance to get you thorough the lack of solar production available by the sun, adjusting your generator settings to ensure a full charge regularly will avoid any imbalance during the partial stage of charge.
This is a great the time of year to asses whether you are requiring more power, a lot of times the addition of an extra DC or AC array can be coupled with your system, this give you more running power through the day and a higher state of charge leading into sunset.
