Hi Allan
thanks for the Jaycar part #, I will have a look.
the lithium type
battery I only recently even knew of, which were advised for a "spot" epirb type think we bought for a present - not cheap but had shelf life into the 2020;s
The end of the shed is close to the neighbour car port and so a flashing light / buzzer would certainly alert him.
yes risk if he is away I guess, but if something goes wrong I also need someone to help in anycase.
We have had 3 bad freezer experiences over the years - almost 4
1/ CFA bloke kicked lead and separated when getting out of boat in shed (freezer still in boat from trip with fish in it) when he decided to service the fire extinguisher whilst doing the shed ones and no one noticed unltil it was real bad!!!!!!
2/ Had a power failure for a few hour and when came back on bait freezer never did (it was very old) and we were away = BAD
3/ Again bait freezer and we were away and had a short and blew fuse so freezer was OFF = BAD
4/ Electrician decide to
test / tag lead on freezer sitting in shed while doing work items, BUT FORGOT to plug in again, LUCKY this time we went to get some fish and found it 1/2 thawed and so were able to give all the fish away so it was not wasted and frezzer ok.
so you can see why I am thinking alarm!
Maybe our bad luck run is over and I should be fine from now??
thought about a full
home security set up but don't have land line so would add another ongoing cost, I guess it could be done with a data mobile type phone (we have some of those GSM set ups you speak of on soil moisture probes and quite reliable but again an ongoing cost and when they do play up its a tech job.)
Thanks for the range of ideas, I will ponder for a few days to see what may suit best.
Regards
