Or GrayJay for Android

Was Google one (including yt premium) a limited time deal? I don't see them connected right now.

Ok, ya I've seen those... I love the idea and am excited to see them become mature.

I am, unfortunately tied to Google right now with our "whole house audio". Using old Chromecast audios. When those are EOL it is going to create a real headache here.

We use minis to initiate the CCAs by making their (minis) default speaker the CCA running through a centralized amp for that room (to ceiling speakers)

It works quite well

Which gizmos, do you have them? How well do they work?

I removed my account a few years ago when they moved a bunch of features behind their paywall. I'm perfectly fine just using Garmin's built in 'news feed' and tracking without giving my data to another company.

I specifically looked at the available specs at the local auto parts stores and couldn't find Ah details. This was about 2y ago, so maybe this value is becoming more commonplace. I know in the RV/Sailing works Ah is used pretty exclusively. My deep cycle AGM only lists CCA and reserve capacity

Good catch... It was early and I was on my phone (my excuses) :)

A little more technical, I don't think your average starting battery is 100ah capacity, and most don't rate themselves in amp hours either.

I bought a deep cycle for my little sailboat at the local auto store and it's around 70-80ah

You would need an inverter to convert the batteries DC (direct current) into AC (alternating current). This will "cost" some power (watts) to convert that voltage. Your refrigerator runs on AC battery outputs DC.

That said, it is quite common to run refrigerators on larger boats and RVs off batteries and it would certainly be possible to run your house fridge off a single car battery for a short while if you've got an inverter large enough to run it.

What your not gonna do is just run out to the car, grab your battery and hook it directly to your fridge.

Our fridge uses between 130-180 watts when running and about 2.9Kw or 2900 watts in 24 hours. Your battery most likely has under 1000 total watt hours til empty, and car batteries are generally not used past 50% capacity (lead acid starting battery). So figure 500 watt hours max (for easy math). So... 4h run time maybe.

That's a huge part of it. But it's like the PC thing all over where anyone can license and produce any kind of android device.

Just FYI, it was wallet originally, moved to "pay" then both existed for way too long with not really knowing which did what

Now we're back to wallet.

🤦‍♂️

Individual phones sure, but much like windows vs Mac . There's way more android devices sold/out there.

The downside is relying on those non Google manufacturers to update those devices.

Hope it stays that way.
