A #rnode build for #reticulum using a #raspberrypi5 and #geekwormx1206 #ups for a #carnode or #solarnode
https://www.loramesh.org/subpages/upsrnode/upsrnode.html
Running #meshchat , four #liion #21700 5000 mAh batteries seem to run the #rak4631 and Pi for at least 24 hours. The device can be re-charged using #usbc or 9 to 18 V DC at up to 3 A via a jack or other connector. The rnode shuts down cleanly when batteries run out & re-starts when power is back, whereupon the batteries charge at the same time in #passthroughcharging

Car node with quickly removable temporary high antenna on roof
