06-20-2026 — Mo Power to Me

Howdy all. Spring has arrived. At least the last couple of days, and the 10 day forecast, suggests that’s true. Lots of 50s-60s at night, and upper 60s, lower 70s, during the daytime. And rain possible at any time. Actually rather nice.

And my EcoFlow DPUX is now Mo reddy fo outages.

My much younger neighbor was over for 5 minutes.  I let him borrow a brush chopper for some tree saplings and bushes he needed to chop down.  He offered to assist with the stack. Although I had a little fighting with cables but rest was easy for me.  

He did struggle a little with the 120 pound battery and I assisted to get it aligned into place.   That is much easier with a person on each side of it.

So now, the third battery is installed and its firmware was updated and it is charging quickly. I now have 18KWH of backup.  That means at least a half of any day is covered.  Heat or AC or both.  I still want the 4th battery to balance the charge/discharge cycles properly. Hopefully soon. Prime Days are just a few days away.

For now, between the HVAC UPS for winter, and this EcoFlow system for any day, I feel safer and that helps me Enjoy Life.
