Will This 120Ah LiFePO4 Battery Last Through a Storm? | Redodo Group 24 Test

Will This 120Ah LiFePO4 Battery Last Through a Storm? | Redodo Group 24 Test

For this video, I put the Redodo 12.8V 120Ah Group 24 Bluetooth LiFePO4 battery through a full charge, discharge, recharge, and second discharge cycle to see whether it can actually deliver the capacity and performance you’d expect from a modern RV and off-grid battery. I also check the Bluetooth app, charging behavior, current draw, voltage, and real-world capacity instead of just reading specs off the box.

👉 Weather Station Build: https://youtu.be/HXBlY2QFdj0

The question is simple: if the weather turns ugly and shore power becomes questionable, is this 120Ah LiFePO4 battery good enough to keep essential gear running? This test looks at repeatable capacity, recharge performance, and whether the Redodo Group 24 battery holds up when treated like something you’d actually depend on, not just admire on a tabletop.

Post date September 2, 2026

New T1000 Update, Seeed Meshracker X1: Dualband GNSS & 5-Day Battery | Meshtastic MeshCore

The new T1000 update is an improved version of the T1000E Meshtastic tracker featuring USB-C charging, dualband GNSS for more accurate GPS positioning, and up to 8 km line-of-sight range. It offers a larger battery lasting up to 5 days, IP66 waterproof and dustproof protection, and a new chip that boosts performance while supporting voice and image messages (when firmware allows). Community feedback drove these upgrades, making the device more reliable and user-friendly than previous models.

@ValGermer asks, how do you test an antenna? Well, there seems to be more to it than just using it and saying whether you like it or not, so how does Dave test antennas?

New Buddipole Wireless Rotator: Hands-On First Look!

In this video, we sit down with Chris from Buddipole to take a first look at their revolutionary new wireless rotator system. This device replaces the traditional hand crank, allowing you to control your antenna’s azimuth directly from a phone, tablet, or laptop. One of the most exciting features is its ability to point directly to a POTA park or grid square with just a simple input. Whether you are a portable operator or looking for an easier way to manage your mast, this $295 wireless upgrade is set to be a game-changer for the ham radio community.
