I run my WXtrax 24/7 on a solar system. It has run with a Baofang for probably 5 years.

I don't have one of those cut-offs but in my solar go box is a solar controller and when it gets down to a certain voltage it will shut off. I have never noticed any issue of pulling power from any of my tt4s other than every once in a long
while it might go deaf til a power cycle. My buddy also has a 555 timer on our local digi as some weird packets sometimes cause the tt4 to lock up. It resets itself every 24 hrs so even if it gets that packet that locks up it still will be back up.?

Subject: [TinyTrak] Aprsworld APO3 use
I've been using an Aprsworld APO3 battery cutoff for several years now and during that time i've had several TinyTrak units go bad
and stop working. Do I just have a bad one or has anybody else had this problem? I like the idea of not having to run an on/off
switch up to the front but not at the cost of replacing a TT3 or even worse a TT4. Has anybody found a battery cut off that works
better? This could be the reason why Byonics doesn't sell them?
