ok just think blocks like toys blocks. @GezzaP

an appliance uses 2 blocks and hour. Battery capacity is 10blocks. it gives one block an hour to the appliance if it is one, for it to function. That would last 10hrs, ie 2 blocks per hour X 10 hours

I wouldn’t know where to look for number @TAB . Yeah I’m still drinking. Had to put air back on again. Think I’ll have to have it on overnight for the next few nights. Stil watching cricket. Nothing else to do. Had phone call from my psychiatrist. Got psychologist calling tomorrow morning. Hoping to get early morning walk tomorrow since I didn’t walk today.

Too many numbers thrown around these days, left right and centre... @GezzaP I am happy if I can count past 3 ... lol..and I did do maths and science, in another life....

Yep I have both gas.

These days I know a groovy physics professor with a business in carbon credits... but he takes a LOT of plane trips... Hmmm... so I am needing to gently push back on some greenie beliefs...and manipulation of the data ... though I always had low footprint ... since birth really ... cos low socioeconomic background ... I try and keep abreast of it all... but am not ridiculous about so called upgrading...be sensible ...

@

doesnt matter re numbers @GezzaP

yeah am dreading a blackout here.

only got the one a/c on atm wonder how long it will take to cool down other rm from like 30deg lol

last few nites no a/c, just less bedding, opening window up and turned ceiling fan up.Seemed to work

Oh ok. The tradies said could probably run of battery at night and maybe have some power left in the morning @TAB . I go to bed early so in this heat would be running air and fan no lights or tv maybe have radio on too.

I haven’t used air at night last few nights @TAB but think will have to next few nights. Got ducted air on in living area and my bedroom atm.

My footprint has increased because these days I need to run the air more at night. @Appleblossom I run hot at night and can’t sleep if hot. I’m hopeless with numbers used to struggle with calculating grades when I was teaching at uni.

well that sounds okay @GezzaP I got chatty w asian woman who owned bottlo in kalgoorlie,being a regular haha. they said could run entire shop all night off batteries,ie lots fridges and coldroom okplus freezers for ice eg

was a huge win for her, but have to use lots power

okay , next subject ..lol

@GezzaP Congrats on your solar + battery. If you dont mind me asking do you have a self managed superannuation fund? (SMSF) Ive heard of them, they can enable you invest in gold and silver to boost the value of your investment with the declining value of the dollar. MoneySmart which is a government site has info on SMSF's. They are tricky to manage though and consume a lot of time to manage each month. It requires a lot of legal, financial and taxation input and can be expensive but you have control over your super and can increase its value through precious metals to preserve wealth. The purchasing power of the dollar seems to be getting worse by the day. I know youre worried about your super but for some people its a good wealth protection strategy to have the option to invest in precious metals

No my super is not self-managed @SmilingGecko . I’m with unisuper always in the top 3 performers. I am old enough to withdraw funds each year and I have a pension for life. I just worry it’s going to run out before I can draw a part aged pension and get a pension card and all those concessions. I could not manage a super fund don’t know enough about such things to do that.
