The additional battery isn't keeping up on cloudy days **09:18 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762449499078909):** no way.. **09:18 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762449512454219):** starlink shouldnt use that much. **09:18 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762449524176709):** i have the huge flat dish.. and its like 50w **09:18 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762449531345919):** Hmmm **09:19 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762449554911129):** Maybe the PLC ? **09:39 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762450793688549):** maybe we can bring in battery voltage and trend it **09:41 [Mason Radke](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762450880401879):** but i bet a few days of little/no sun could drain the batteries.. we should do the math on capacity and total draw. the pump runs off of the batteries as well? **20:48 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762490924784419):** no, just the controls **20:49 [Kevin](https://slack.com/archives/C094GTB7ACS/p1762490967346819):** I wonder if the PLC has bus voltage in a system tag
