Hi, im a noob
Trying to build a gps ear tag for my cattle.
The problem is: Load starts up when battery is 3V. Battery drains to 2.9V due to startup of load. Load turns off. Solar panel charges battery to 3V. Load starts up. Battery drains to 2.9V again due to startup of load. Load turns off. This cycle repeats for days on end. What to do?
Ive tried different types of capacitors. Have tried to incorporate a N Channel Mosfet, but i failed. Can anyone please guide me in the right direction.
94mAh 4.5V solar panel(I cannot go bigger because of weight and size.
Solar charger present.
500mAh lithium battery.
Diode on solar panel + to prevent backfeed.
