Is your math flawed? Well you haven't explained your math so...I SUSPECT it is flawed. What I suspect is that you have assumed that 3 100ah CAPACITY batteries imply the need for a 3x100 or 300 Amp fuse. This is wrong. Amp hour (battery capacity) ratings are not directly related to fuse...

The inferior targeting accuracy and flight range of missiles in 1962 meant that siting in Cuba was a very big step up in threat and risk. Further, the amount of time needed to respond and intercept an attack was longer then and missile siting in Cuba decreased the USA's ability to respond in...

And... LOOSES is about a 'SPELLING lesson' not a 'Grammar lesson', right?

Oh here is one more. I cannot help myself. For all y'all who write "I bought a couple lithium cells yesterday" The correct usage is as follows: "I bought a couple OF lithium cells yesterday" . This sounds right too cuz you would actually be saying "I bought a couple OF 2 packs OF lithium...

Error. You meant ALE-hole I am sure?

"all of that radioactive waste." You mean "all of that radioactive waste" so small and manageable that it is 'all' still being recycled (France) or stored onsite(most everywhere else) after 70 years of operation ( first full scale nuke plant started producing waste in 1956).? What is the 'waste...

Trying to follow your calcs here Luthj. A cup is 236.6 ml and that's 236.6 grams if it were water in the cup. I read your post as 30 grams per cup of electrolyte and that just seems like an awfully low density electrolyte. Perhaps I read this wrong?

Just so you know...something you might want to look into further. I own a Kisae DMT-1250 DC to DC charger. The manual I received with the unit is not the most recent but Don Rowe Solar currently sells the unit and from that site you can download the REV D manual. Page 10 of REV. D manual has...

PMTCO2: A couple of questions: 1. Did you order the 'pre-fab' pictured here ( red ones from XuBa) or the Blue ones pictured. You offered 2 links to 2 different items. Not sure which ones you've had delivered. 2. How well have these worked out for you? I am considering the RED ones from XuBa...

The 280Ah looks like it will suit me as well. I've stalled around quite a bit trying to get the lay of the Chinese lithium land and more to the point, how they travel here. Some vendors look like they can ship from USA which might help us avoid the effects of the month plus long Chinese New...

North Vancouver .. how bout you?

I just registered too. My OFFGRID system is going on the truck camper which is a 2008 Bigfoot on a 2008 Dodge dually. I like to go places or at least I DID like to pre-Covid. They`ve opened up camping now in British Columbia so I think it might be time to get going on this project and get...
