Greg:
Great little unit and a steal for the price. I LOVE to watch the fish feed, and constantly hit the test button. I must not be feeding to much, as they still eat it all. Course, I only have it set for like 5 seconds, 4 times a day, but after 2.5 weeks, the battery still indicates fully charged.
I've got a couple 30 gallon barrels, so the next one may get mounted on one of those. On the bucket, I ditched the original lid, and removed one from a hydraulic oil bucket, washed it and am using it. With a funnel, I can now just screw off the cap and fill it easily.
I'm ecstatic...now I just need to find a feed vendor closer to home. The elevator I've been using is about 20 miles away...and seems to be having financial difficulties, if the rumors can be believed. I only buy a bag at a time, as the coons living in the barn have even figured out how to get the lid off the barrel I was storing it in.
Thanks...
UPDATE
7/14 - I've set the thing up to feed now twice in the morning and twice in the eveing, plus I tend to tap the "TEST" button whenever I'm down there just watch the fish fee. Only set to run for about 5 secs at a go. I want the fish hungry when I fish for them...it's only "supplemental" feeding anyway, right? Feeding may 1 pound per day.
It's been hanging there for about a month or so now, and the battery just now reads one bar from fully charged. Probably pull her for charging one evening this week.
For the money, I can't have found a better unit. I'll definitely order another for the north pond.
