I recently bought an ecoflow battery (solar generator, battery power station, etc) and have been wanting to experiment with hooking up a blockchain node to it. Here are my thoughts:
  • Old Dell laptop that can be powered via usb-c.
  • Ecoflow battery
  • ~250W solar panel I can get locally for ~$50 USD.
I wonder if there would be enough battery in the ecoflow to power it overnight?
if the screen is off, then probably?

Yeah I would have the screen off for sure. I was going to try and remove components like the keyboard, screen, etc to see if that would lower the energy usage.

This is fascinating. I only knew about Jackery but these look much more sophisticated
