It was surprisingly busy. Lot of day hikers but there were 5 or 6 cars there overnight. The ones back behind us were 6 hikers, I think spent the night on the peninsula trail.

Or get some LTO batteries they take -20 celsius no problem. Saw some vids some people even keep those batteries uninsulated in the rain to power their electric bikes in emergency but they are bulky and more heavier though. I bought one for me motorcycle it has 0 problem in winter i had to buy a new lead battery every year now bought 0 batteries for 6 years already...

I'm running lip04 house batterys they are good at low temps. But csnt be charged below 32 degrees or it csn damage them. OK to discharge just not charge. The ones I running do have a low temp disconnect to protect them. Plan is to add heating pads or maybe swap out to heated batterys
@DMSAdventures
@DMSAdventures 19 күн бұрын
Ya i thought the battery compartment was getting a little low! My solar box out in my shed has actually been working pretty well. The little 50 watt heater inside is doing the job. I'm actually pleasantly surprised. A night of cycling on and off brings the batteries down to low 80% but as long as there is sun the next day it gets back up to 100%
@Ambohouse
@Ambohouse 19 күн бұрын
I may copy your design. Except I think I'm gonna try heat pads instead of ambient temp and to see if i can drop the draw a little

This 14 ft tiny house I’m im is doing good. 65 degrees in here is more than warm enough. I just finished putting wool insulation in all the walls so the whole thing including floor and roof has the mineral wool in it. The electric heater I’m running comes on every 30 minutes and stays in about 10 minutes then back off for 30. Ultimately it will be off grid also as you know. Can you move batteries inside your warmest area where you’re sleeping? I know you’ll get it all figured out. Take care pal! You almost got to read my obituary but I didn’t want to bring more hurt to my kids life than this divorce I was told about a couple of days before Christmas. If I hadn’t started this little tiny house I’d be sleeping in my truck right now.
