I simply "LOVE" this case, but I cannot find it "anywhere" online. What THEY advertise is much larger and more bulky. Yours "looks like" an awesome walkie-talkie, which would make it superb for backpacking and field use. Do you have the sources where we can get these cases and the module inside, antenna, etc. as a package?

You wire them in parallel. Like on this build, positive to positive and negative to negative is in parallel which increase the amp hours while keeping the voltage the same. www.power-sonic.com/blog/how-to-connect-batteries-in-series-and-parallel/

How do you check the check valve and ball inside the tank? My lantern will not pump up. It will pump up, but it leaks out but the seat looks fine.😊
@RavenwoodAcres
@RavenwoodAcres Ай бұрын
It sounds like spring and ball are not seating fully. Sometimes they can be fixed soaked with an oil like Marvel Mystery Oil. However, if you have to remove it can be difficult. Here is a great website for learning more: www.oldtowncoleman.com/learn/coleman-special-tools-check-valve-remover.htm

I don't pay more than $20 and generally get for less. Most sellers don't know what they have and how to check model numbers and year on the bottom. I find most my deals at flea markets and garage sales. For tank cleaning, yellow bottle Heet is good. If the pump works, you're generally in business. PB Blaster works for cleaning the check valve.

Hello. I want to put my first Meshtastic repeater up for my small community and family. I have done some research and all the modules look alike to me, I can't figure out which module is appropriate for my use. I have a 40 foot ROHN tower, all of the parts for the enclosure, brackets, batteries, solar panel, high gain antenna, etc. I would like to put it up on the tower and access it from ground level, either by Bluetooth, Wi-Fi as long as it's wireless. I don't think I need a screen, I will use the phone for that, and it doesn't need GPS. Could you point me out to what you would use in this situation so I can research the right device? I'm just concerned that I will buy the wrong thing. Thank you! subbed

I use it about 10-15x between April and November. Interesting to see a case, I don't reminder a case coming with mine. Thanks for the video on cleaning it, I'll do that once this camping season is done.
