Re: (ET) ET Charges for Pennys a Day

my kill-a-watt meter will hold the data as long as it is plugged in to the wall. the appliance doesn't have to be plugged in. thus when I unplug my e-trac for spin and plug it back in later the data collection continues where it left off. Is that what you're wanting to do Raymon?

Hi Raymon,
Yes the Landis controller is the best addition to ETs
in 20 years.  This is a great way to stay charged.

Your are correct the Kill-a-Watt will reset if power
is removed.  I mostly use it to determine the kw/hr
for plowing and mowing, by checking the reading before
charging and a day latter.

I think 4 cents is a great value for plowing my 6,000
sq foot driveway.  My neighbor with a smaller driveway
used a gallon of gas in his blower.
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks Paul for the update. I remember back in
August 2006 you gave me the
straight information on how to connect the Landis
Controller in my E-20. You
went so far as to phone me to explain how you had
set up your C-185. Several
months later you pointed out that 38.2 volt is full
charge when my startup
voltage had been moved to 38.5 volts. I moved mine
back slightly and all had
been well since that time with the Landis. I have
not been able to get a
long run with the Kill-A-Watt meter here because of
power failures. Some
said, however, that a small light connected in
parallel will keep the meter
on through a failure but I have not tried that.
Thanks again, Raymon Ellis

Subject: (ET) ET Charges for Pennys a Day

Hi All,
For the last month I have been using a Kill-a-Watt
power meter on my ET.

The numbers are in and for 30 days without snow the
average is 0.11 kw/hr per day or about one penny
based
on the local electric rates.  The Landis keeps the
pack charged for a penny a day.

We has 2 snows during that time and the extra power
to
charge was about 0.35 kw/hr for each storm.

I'm looking forward to the mowing season to check
the
cost to mow.

Also Amazon is selling the P3 Kill-a-Watt for about
$23.

Thanks,
Paul Holzschuher
C-185 and E15
Cincinnati
