One of the problems of doing wet plate in the field in remote areas of Canada is that you need power to run pumps, exhaust fans, cooling fans, timers etc.
How to do I get power? 3 different ways. I use small 20 volt rechargeable batteries connected to a 200 watt inverters. I also have 2 big Jackery power banks.
The most important way I get power thou is to use car batteries (not the best battery but the cheapest). The first year I had 1 - 12 volt car battery system hooked up, then the year after that went to 2 batteries running in parallel. This year will do 4 batteries in parallel. All that means is you basically have 1 big battery to draw from.
Here is what it looks like. Also built boxes for the batteries and lid-table top that I can stack trays etc on to use the space more efficiently.
Note* I have the option to recharge all the batteries via Solar Power but that takes a LONG time. I most often recharge when I have a power source at a campground.
