Hooked up my 20kmah battery to the Balcony Cam yesterday, it reached 100% and is at 95 this morning.
Found and charged my 10kmah battery, hooked it up to the Test cam, faces the opposite direction on the balcony. It typically stops at 98%, which the current charge indicates.
Both cams are fully recharged, I left portable batteries connected to both. I thought the cams were staying fully charged. But, after viewing them and seeing the message they are charged and warning me to disconnect the cable, both cams have stopped charging and started draining. The bottom one was recharged 24 hours ago, the middle one 12 hours ago
Unless someone here wants updates, I am going to stop reporting, and say the Wasserstein solar panel provides enough power to keep the Wyze outdoor camera happy over a period of 25 days (date of my first post about the solar panel)
Something odd… WOC 5 was below 30% yesterday. When I disconnected the Wasserstein solar panel from the solar panel WOC and connected it to WOC 5, the SOC of WOC 5 has not improved after 24 hours of partly cloudy weather. It is at 22% now.
Apparently the Wasserstein solar panel will not recharge a WOC but can keep it charged.
Wasserstein sent two return labels. They will send two floodlights for the v3 that are not remote controlled once they receive my defective lights. I am hoping the weak link is the remote. Nowhere can I find info about the range of the remote. I have gone so far as to put it right next to the floodlight. Still goes on and off even if it is daylight.
Update: Wasserstein refunded the difference between the remote and non-remote floodlights.
The SOC on one of the outdoor cameras was dropping. I disconnected the camera and charged it overnight. Put the solar panel on the deck to charge all day. Connected the WOC to the solar panel and the SOC kept dropping the next few days even with full sun all day.
Tempted to take the other Wasserstein panels apart and add just a smidgen of silicone sealer.
Took my Swann panel apart for comparison. They use an actual rubber gasket with a bevel to direct the water away from the gasket. The panel also gas a beefy channel the gasket fits in. The mating cover has a raised bead to push down on the gasket.
