Since a big part of my interest in #meshtastic is as #disaster comms, I decided to run my Station G2 off a big battery instead of directly off mains.

The battery, a previous generation Goal Zero is rated at a little less than 300 Watt hours. The G2 got nearly 5 full days which is well shy of the 12 I’d estimated but still respectable.

The next #meshtastic project will be mounting a solar node on the gutter out back. Once I feel like I have the hang of wireless firmware upgrades, I’ll go for higher up— rooftop or even a tree.

The gutter-mount radio should be here any day now.
