rgb_aquarium Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Has anyone tested the aquarium coop air pump with the battery backup with one of those usb solar panel on Amazon? In theory, the backup battery can last you through the night and resume charging in the morning? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 This needs to be tried! I haven’t… but if you do, document it all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be working in the morning. The air pump seems to be charging. Will see what happened at night. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The environmentalist in me likes this for the clean energy, but the tightwad in me likes this even more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgb_aquarium Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) After night, I can said this totally work. I checked around 4 am in the morning and it was still running. And as of 10 am, the battery is full again. Disclaimer: I am in Souther California so we get sun more than most. The only weird thing. The aeration seems to be a little bit weaker at night. I am not sure if had to do with it running on battery or atmospheric pressure at night (outdoor). But it was definitely still running. Hopefully, this will continue long term.
