Update, its still only working when connected, but its only doing one reading every time I plug it in.

Hello Shannon,
I hope you are doing well. It has been awhile since my last ask. I recently reset my system and now I am having an issue where the mayfly is only working when it is connected to my computer. Is this an issue with my battery?

We installed a Mayfly out at the border of a forest/marsh last week and everything went fine. I tested our loggers in our University’s greenhouse and it seemed like our batteries/solar panels were working just well. However, in the field, one of our loggers pretty much ran out of juice within the span of like an hour. We ended up replacing it with…[Read more]

Here are the results with the blue spirulina that has a known phycocyanin concentration (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XC7KSRP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title). PPB readings are still off.

Ty!

No, LiFePO4 batteries should never be used with a Mayfly board because the onboard charging circuitry is only designed to work with 3.7v Lithium Ion packs. There’s a summary of important battery information and options here: https://www.envirodiy.org/battery-options-mayfly/

Has anyone tried hooking up Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries to the mayfly boards? I am wondering if the built in charge controller would be compatible with this chemistry.
Any other recommendations for batteries would be greatly appreciated as well!
