The Jackery 240 is a no-go for running a Station G2 for 24/7. Simple reason: it switches off after 10 hours when a low current is drawn. I used the Jackery 240 in the car instead for a long time, see here Car node with external antenna
My solar project is now this one Solar store & forward pole node test
which uses the battery recommended on the Station G2 wiki page Station G2 | Unit Engineering
I gave up on making the Station G2 solar. I made this solar node Solar node for top of tall building using the Waveshare D solar power manager
instead which works fine 24/7 for the last 3 months (touch wood).
My attempt to make a solar store and forward node cited above has run into a scary and odd problem. The 31000 mAh battery seem to drain (sometimes) overnight or when there is little sun on the particular panel I am using. I am now testing this with a second identical battery to make sure it is not a one-off hardware fault. If the panel I am using (different to the one shown in this post) with the Explorer 1000 plus does fail to work 24/7 then I will move to making my own “balcony power station” based around a LiFePo the battery below which I had left over from a mains electricity project I did about 2 years ago.
This battery would run a RAK for 300 days…
but the point is it has 2 x USB A outputs that do not switch off at 15 mA output at 5 V…
This saga is going to run and run…
