Hey everybody in here sitting here in my yard with Papa having my coffee with all of you. Gosh the sun is coming out which is great. It was supposed to be cloudy all day long. I don't know maybe they'll come back later but I need the solar power because my indoor batteries, oh they are being taxed to the max. I had forgot to turn my refrigerator off last night and so I was running the heat mat and the refrigerator and the inverter basically shut down like it's supposed to. So hopefully I didn't kill my batteries but we're going to see today. I don't think I'm going to need to turn the heat mat on all day today because it's going to stay warm enough for those baby chicks inside the tiny house but it's kind of pretty out here right now. Hmm don't know what today will bring but it's going to be good. I went over to Mr. Lucas and he's got a bucket of peppermint growing in fact I got this from him and his was doing so much better and I noticed he had his in the shade so I pulled mine in the shade and look at that doing better. Oh I'm going to have a banana peppermint very soon. Look at that jalapeno. I definitely going to have a jalapeno soon. Tomatoes all doing good. You know I need to check if it's going to rain because I think that I might go ahead and water these today. Hey Papa what are you doing? What are you doing? Look at this bean. It's already reaching out and growing up. Look at these multicolor peppers. They've got some of them have brown spots on them. What is that? Look at this one has it very bad and this one too that one not so bad. That one looks terrible. These don't have any on it and they were of the second planning that I did of them so I don't know maybe I did something wrong with the first ones. A little bit of brown on that one. That one's not too bad. And these look okay. This one has a little bit on it. This is okay. What is that? Okay I'm in a quandary. I was doing some research on my inverter and my charge controller and I was trying to figure out why the inverter was reading differently than the charge controller and so I read something and there is a better way to hook things up. So I was getting into the box. Well before I even got into the box I was moving some stuff off the top of that box okay. And I was pulling a USB fan and I just pulled the cord and it came in contact with one of the things on the inverter that's metal. And then I heard sparking and I smelled smoke. Everything is disconnected. Take a look at that. One of these things is not like the other. Look at that battery terminal. That's what was smoking. So I imagine this battery is probably fried. I'm just not willing to take a chance. But also this is the cable that was connected to it and this was one that connected one battery to another. The bolt is completely fused. I cannot get this bolt off so I'm not going to be able to use these cables. There isn't any damage to this cable. There looks like there may be a little bit to this one but I'm still not going to risk it. I'm just going to have to put on fresh cables. They're not going to be as thick as this. I'm bummed. What I'm really hoping is that the other batteries are okay. I don't have a bolt meter or whatever those things are. So I'm just going to very carefully hook everything back up and see if I can get this to go with just the two batteries being connected. I don't have anywhere to store that damage battery so I'm just going to leave it in there. I'm just not going to hook it up. Okay. This is the main screen. As you can see it has a little moon. It says that it's dark but it's not. This has gone from like 12.2 to 13. So I know that it's charging but that little blinking battery that would indicate that there is an issue with the battery. Here's the voltage. I'm getting 10.44 amps in. So I know that the solar panels are okay. That is the percentage of it being charged. It says 0.0%. That's how much the batteries are supposed to be charged up. And I know that there's power because my inverter is working and it keeps going up as far as amps as well. So I know there's something in the batteries. 13.0 volts. There's no load on it right now. I've accumulated 12 amp hours since I did the hard reset. And there's no load. That's the temperature. That's just a setting to set the load parameters. And that's the error code. E1 means battery over discharged. But it's charging. It says it's 13.1 right now. I'm going to go turn on the refrigerator. I just turned it on and it was at 12.9 but it's already back up to 13.0. So I need to figure this out. Everything is connected the way it's supposed to be. I think what I need to do, some charge controllers, you can do a soft reset. This one I did a hard reset like twice. But I didn't let it stay off for more than a couple of minutes. So the good thing I do is tonight when I'm not trying to charge my batteries, I'm just going to disconnect it all and let the charge controller sit for at least 15 minutes and see if that resets it. Because it's not even retaining my settings that I've been trying to put in. So I think the two other batteries are fine. The other one, there's no way I'm ever going to be able to use that again. So I'm just going to figure it out. Oh my goodness. I just had some lunch. Some of that roast beef spread on salty crackers. It was pretty good. Yeah, I love that stuff. Anyhow, it's times like this when I would normally melt down. You know, I have a meltdown and just totally shut down and not know what to do. But here's the thing. I still have this other MPP, not it's not an MPPT. It's a PWM charge controller. If the run a G doesn't reset and if it just seems like it's not working because you know what, I noticed something a couple days ago coming from the charge controller there was just a, I don't know, slight order. So there may have been something wrong ahead of time and just me moving stuff around, just set it off or whatever. But I've got another charge controller. I have another, it's just a 75 amp-hour battery. But it's working, you know, it's working perfect even with that little 750 watt inverter. I could run my refrigerator off of it. So if there's something wrong with those batteries or if there's something wrong with the charge controller, I can bring this little set up inside it and I'll be just fine until I can work the rest of it out. You know, the baby chicks are still cute. Tyson is still crowing. Miss Prices still sitting on the nest and my plants are still growing great. I'm going to have some peppers very, very soon. So no matter what happens, I'm still going to be okay. I'm just working through it, figure it out. And tomorrow is going to be a new day. I'm going to keep this video short today just because, just because. Anyway, that's all I got for you guys today. See you in the next video. Thanks for watching everybody. I hope you enjoyed the video. Make sure you like, subscribe, hit the bell and y'all have a good one.
