Batteries and sockets in the cave/tent living community in the rocky semi-desert (2024.09.01)
The current state of the electricity in the cave/tent living community in the rocky semi-desert on Tenerife (as of 2024.09.01).
The lights in the caves in the night are working from the left battery, and the right battery is used with the 12 Volt <> 230 Volt inverter (with solar panels) to have electricity at least in the daylight.
There are engineers and other professionals in the cave/tent living community. In the recent past, theoretically one of them used two other not working batteries to make one working.
As I currently know, he moved the acid from one battery to fill up another battery.
But of course they know this topic much better than me.
In addition to the 5 Volt USB charging ports, and to the 230 Volt sockets inside the storage cave...
...We have sockets outside too, under one of the community desks, which are water resistant.
The current 12 Volt <> 230 Volt inverter is still the same as before, so it can provide only 1000 Watts.
But it is enough to charge laptops, speakers, mobile phones. Even one of the low consuming refrigerators and the freezer can work occasionally in the daylight inside the storage cave.
On the upper right side is the refrigerator, and the lower right side is the freezer.
In addition to the lights inside the caves, there are lights and light switches outside too. These are also working from the left battery on the first photo in this post.
The electricity is still provided by only the solar panels...
...But we are thinking about buying and installing wind turbines too.
The wind is almost always available. Even when the sun is not. For example when it is covered by the clouds (this rarely happens in this place, the weather is mostly sunny), or in the evening.
Of course we are an open community.
We are open to advices and to suggestions too.
If anyone, who is competent in this topic even actually read this post anyway.
Either way, I will document every upgrade/improvement in this system.
At least in the next few months, while I am in this place.
The idea of moving is also an option.
There are (maybe even better) alternatives.
Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings and much love from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.

Dude I think what you’re doing here is super cool. I enjoy seeing the thought process and developments, as well as I like to see the way you track your other details.
…I was only able to see about half the photos on this one. I know that’s happened to me before and my friend anke as well. I don’t think it’s a huge issue, I enjoyed reading your work and seeing what I could see.
Stay well man, I’m also tipping you 2 HSBI to help with continued support on your posts.
My friends in the cave/tent living community are doing this. I am not an engineer. I cannot fix batteries, nor any other electronic thing. I am only documenting this with text and with photos.
I generally document my life, so I will post about other things too in the near future.
Nowadays not every day. I really spend little time online. I have not published a blog post in the recent two days, but I wrote a few comments, and I also published a few Waves too.
There are nine photos in this post.
Currently all of them is visible for me.
I do not know why sometimes they are not loading properly. Maybe this is a temporary server side problem at Ecency.
Thank you so much for the support. Probably it will help in long term. Maybe in addition to the physical works (the small jobs I am doing), I will be also able to build my Hive account too. Even with little time spent online.
Indeed, I meant more the royal/collective you, but I think it’s awesome you make a point of giving credit to its rightful owner - or at least not taking it illegitimately. That’s honorable.
I will add myself to your followers to see what you share. I am generally more of a follower of people than of broadcast channels, but you do seem like a nice person so I’ll at least tag along for a while and see how it goes.
For sure man, I’m glad to support. I was thinking maybe I’ll add to your stake on a repeating basis, perhaps over time this could help add to your financial reports - I think it’s really cool by the way, how you track overall earnings and savings/expenses.
tschüss!
I did that on the Hive blockchain only for my first time, first month (August) experience with the small jobs.
I still document my life on the Hive blockchain, similarly to the past, but not the financial progress of the small jobs, which by the way, I still do almost every day.
Fair enough. You do whatever feels right and I will do my best to stay in touch!
