Re: Midland Weather Alert Radio

Simon & B ·
Coincidink!! We just got this one - Sangean-MMR-88-Emergency-Flashlight-Smartphone Charger Weather radio . Just last week ahead of our cross-country trip. And for the same reason as you did. So far, so good - well it seems to work as described. We had an Eton weather radio a few years ago and it was utter junk. We'd be interested in comparing notes.

A good choice! Is the 66-70 lb weight ever an issue being too much for one person to handle alone? The SCS225 battery is more of a marine battery, meaning it is designed to deliver high amps. Do you know how your 30xhs bulk, float, and equalize voltages compare to what your converter/charger puts out, or your solar charger if you have one?

We use the factory solar controller and/or the factory PD-4050 controller for normal charging, and a Vector 1089A digital battery charger for equalization. Peak voltage in that mode is 16.2, temperature compensated.

Brian, when you equalize, do you disconnect the battery and Vector charger from the trailer electrical system to prevent the loads and charge controller from seeing 16.2 volts?

I have a similar one to Gus and BMJ. It's a craftsman brand with an AGM battery and smart charger. I made a pair of custom 'jumper' cables for it: one set connects directly to the motor on the slide and one directly to the motor of the canopy; just in case... John
