I have been thinking (Over thinking actually) how to get power to the shack if the juice goes out.
Looked at running a dedicated line from the battery bank to the shack but the cost in wire (Would need 00 sized wire) was prohibitive. So I went real low tech. I am buying a group 27 marine deep cycle battery, a
smart charger, battery box, Anderson Power Poles, and an
Anderson Power Pole electrical power strip.
The battery will sit under my radio table with a smart charger attached. The smart charger will keep the battery between 12.8 and 13.0 volts. I will run 10 gauge wire from the battery to the Anderson Power Pole electrical power strip with a 20 amp in-line fuse on the positive wire before the power strip.
I will switch over all of my radio's power cables to Anderson Power Poles along with pig tails to my current power amp.
Now if the power goes out I will detach the power cables from the power amp and reattach the Anderson Power Pole electrical power strip. Viola! I am back in business.
When the battery drops down to 12.5-12.3 volts I will switch it out with one of my existing batteries that are being charged via a solar panel or add it to the daisy chain of existing batterys for a day or two.
