lithium batteries

[PA DETAILER]

Have a weather station i really enjoy. After the last few arctic blasts, i figured the outside temp. sensor could use a UPGRADE to lithium batteries. According to the manual, alkaline are good for -4 to 158. Lithium are good for -22 to 158 temps. It's a accutron station. Quite accurate. Now they take the outside temp at the airport here. So there is always a few degrees difference. currently..40 at the house. 36 at the airport. I am guessing the lithiums should last a long time with better performance in the outdoor sensor. It can be tricky to find a good spot to get good readings on the outside sensor. No direct sunlight etc.... I have it mounted on the inside overhang of the front porch/stoop. Seems really accurate there.

Sadly mine gave the ghost up this week So i just got a cheap one today. Good enough for what i use it for. Set up was fine. Put the outdoor sensor same place the old one was. Just waiting for the 14 day calibration. Then it will be set. Tells you what to wear. LOL.

Well,
Returned the one above and moved up to a better one. It's more like the one i had. More features. And no 14 day calibration. This one should start forcasting it 4 hours so. Mounted on the wall and ready to go....
