Completely separate from my radio tinkering, I’ve also lately gotten into playing around with small solar setups.
In doing so it lead me to trying running my radio from it (obviously lol). Well it works great! I’ve got a 30Ah LifePO4 battery wired to a small solar setup, as well as a standard pug in charger/maintainer box wired in as well in case solar just isn’t available. All neatly packed into a box on the floor under my desk.
Eliminating the solar component entirely, this battery and charger would seem to me as a great solution to completely replace power supply boxes. The cost is comparable if not cheaper. And it then allows for you to have a margin of backup power on your radio where a power supply box would simply be dead should the mains power become unavailable.
Should people be exploring this option instead of power supply boxes altogether?
