    At least it will last a lifetime.
  • Post in thread: Losing faith in Victron.

    This is a technical forum where we share technical information. At the very least you need to share the technical information of what's wrong before delving into the emotional customer service stuff. This forum needs evidence and information before we'll dogpile onto a vendor or manufacturer...

    Build a roof over them to keep the rain off.

    Santan Solar is licking their chops! "Cracked front glass, does not affect power output or dielectric properties"
  • Post in thread: Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

    Maybe they cater to people who don't want to setup lawn chairs in front of their inverters and stare at them while on the phone with tech support.
  • Post in thread: So I am going to try my hand at reconditioning lead acid batteries...

    Cook the battery with the caps off for a bit and look at each cell. The first cell to start to gas is the bad one and closer inspection will most likely reveal trashed, crumbling plates. If equalization alone won't fix it, the battery is done. I would instead use the time to get a second job...
  • Post in thread: Trump

    Liberalism is a mental disorder. Imagine you're so stupid that you can't figure out how to have sex without getting pregnant and that you hate the idea of caring for another human so much that your primary issue with government is that it might not be all that supportive of you killing the most...

    Yeah so when your Predator quits at night, you'll still have a light to see Predators.

  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    Wind turbines harness kinetic energy from the wind which is the result of the heating of a gas. Unfortunately you cannot control when the heating of that gas so it's output is variable. Windmills were used to harness energy before gasoline cars were invented and are another example of going...
  • Post in thread: Kamala

    In my experience. People with dementia don't make good "franchise players". Joe is in Truth mode. The social accumen for deception goes away due to lack of bandwidth to manage all the little nuances that go into tricking people. He's in that stage.
  • Post in thread: Sooo... its 12F outside, my power is out until tomorrow night...

    Unfortunately the corresponding increase in your bodies radiant surface area causes net heat loss. ?
  • Post in thread: Ordered new batteries from USA/Canadian company and they are not honouring their warranty

    The longer they wait to replace the better it is for you. Also, I hope they shaft you since you expect them to warranty the 3 you didn't pay for. How weird is it that you would even have the gall to ask them to do that?
  • Post in thread: Shipping Container solar AC

    Again, if it works it works but I would opt to roof the outside and get some eaves and shade the container that way. I was only going to put the roof that the panels are mounted on but then opted to do the whole container. 12' x 3' metal sheets are currently $50.00 at homes depot so 15 sheets...

    C02 isn't a pollutant.
  • Post in thread: Can Solar & Wind Fix Everything (e.g., Climate Change) with a battery break-through?

    The sad part is he pretends to be objective in his first post in the this thread. Now that I know the guy is liberal, we know he's the exact opposite of what he says he is. He wants to pretend his mind was changed by evidence like a normal, rational human. Alas it is not so.
  • Post in thread: Framing the container

    If your budget is less than $100.00 and you don't want to buy wood or screw anything to the wall, that doesn't leave many options other than just buying a couple tubes of adhesive and sitting inside container and huffing it. Also, we were trying to help and merely posted what we had done to...
  • Post in thread: Trump

    When democrats win we all lose. You also failed to state what threats you're talking about. And yes, we absolutely hate the guts of the vaccine-mandating lockdowner commie parasites currently in charge and the enablers who vote for them. 😁
  • Post in thread: Climate change, COVID, and other things...

    I thought it was 1 million. You guys always say 1 million. It's also worth noting that it was the scientific community that let the germs out of its lab in the first place and then lied about it.
  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    Not that kind of don't care. I don’t want gas vehicles regulated out of existence until electric cars and trucks can do exactly what gas cars and trucks can do for the exact same price or less with equal service/repair costs 10 years down the road. The lack of empathy from the EV dorks who...
  • Post in thread: My LiFePO2 battery caught fire

    Yeah I had to put a canary in ours to monitor air quality when one of my kids nearly died when they went in there after I had used the toilet after a large meal on Cinco de mayo.

    Stop! My dick popped off, grew legs and ran away while covering its little ears with its little hands midway through this video.

    Their jet fuel use dropped substantially once epstein Island was shut down.
  • Post in thread: Losing faith in Victron.

    OP, This thread has earned you zero fans but maybe that's what you wanted since the noise they make bothers you anyway.
  • Post in thread: Trump

    Are you expecting some independent rogue who gets along with nobody and has nobody backing him as the only acceptable candidate? That seems out of touch with reality. The big government cat is out of the bag. If Trump wasn't at least somewhat good for the United States they wouldn't be...
  • Post in thread: Is Battleborn worth it? $$$$

    They use cylindrical cells which are supposed to be more durable. IMO, they are definitely not worth it for a stationary application or motorhome. Maybe a good choice for an overlander or something like that. The cost/benefit has been superceded.
  • Post in thread: Trump

    The Neocon party of Bush is the same party of Obama and Biden. Let's NOT forget that. We want conservative, not republican
  • Post in thread: Can Solar & Wind Fix Everything (e.g., Climate Change) with a battery break-through?

    That's just happenstance. I liked big trucks way before I knew I had a little dick.🤥

    We are supposed to be dead from Aids and Rainforest destruction already.
  • Post in thread: Inflation Reduction Act may be Unconstitutional - Take your Credits ASAP

    The crappy part is that I'm 100% for a good amount of reduction in fossil fuel usage but liberal retards don't care about the environment, they just want more control.
  • Post in thread: Trump GoFundMe for hurricane Helene survivors? Harris Govt allowing Political suffering and punishment of Red States.

    Yes. "Fema money" for illegal aliens goes to 3rd party entities who "manage" finding them housing, food etc. They get x dollars per illegal, say 10k per month, house and feed the illegal for 3k and then pocket the difference. I would ignore DPC. He's literally a child. I'm sure he has a...
  • Post in thread: Trump

    Same letters. BRadBill. BRB58. Only he gives away his age (when account was created) or birth year. You just know he punishes his meat like he caught it stealing. When one hand gets tired, the other steps in to continue the harsh interrogation. Probably draws puppets on each one. Trump on the...
  • Post in thread: Kamala

    Did you guys ever notice that everything liberals claim and believe is based on a lie? They literally believe every lie ever told to them.
  • Post in thread: Domestic Terrorist

    Men are naturally programmed to defend women and children. We all experience a deep visceral reaction when we see a women or child being harmed or even just plain hurt. The left is doing their best to insult and confuse this natural instinct. I'm supposed to defend and protect children once...
  • Post in thread: Can Solar & Wind Fix Everything (e.g., Climate Change) with a battery break-through?

    Agree that continued energy storage development is good. I envision a world where the siding and roofing on a structure is all solar and easily serviceable with batteries in each house and of course tied into a grid where power sharing occurs. I don't agree on synthetic meats. Quality of life...

  • Post in thread: Signature solar horrible customer service

    Everyone gets grumpy this time of year. Low Kwh harvests during the winter. Guys have to drag out the mules to get water out of the well and take cold showers while eating cold soup out of a can. At least if they have an EG4 AIO they can warm their hands and beverages up on the case of the unit.
  • Post in thread: Trump

    Of course that's why they raided his place. He took just a tiny fraction of dirt on these folks. He's quite good at not letting on as to the things he knows. Some of it I'm sure was "russiagate" stuff. Essentially intelligence showing the whole thing was a hoax.

  • Post in thread: Trump GoFundMe for hurricane Helene survivors? Harris Govt allowing Political suffering and punishment of Red States.

    It would be tough cause or enhance a hurricane. Bad weather happens naturally. It doesn't require government assistance. In fact I think our ancestors spent the majority of their time fighting and often lost to the elements. Thank goodness fossil fuels ans technology came along to ease that...
  • Post in thread: Can Solar & Wind Fix Everything (e.g., Climate Change) with a battery break-through?

    All liberals are perpetually adolescent. They want freedom without responsibility and are generally uncomfortable making any decisions on their own and get upset when people around them are able to do so. I would have let it go and helped with Barn pre-covid but not now. I don't help anyone do...
  • Post in thread: Pager explosions described as "massive intel operation". Why not call it terrorism?

    People talk about how smart Israel is for doing it, as if remotely controlled explosives are a novel idea. If they have such amazing intelligence, then why weren't they able to pre-emptively stop the crude attack on October 7th? It has now become clear they let that happen on purpose and...
  • Post in thread: California suing big oil...

    I hope big oil responds by removing their products from the California market. That would be the way to handle this.
  • Post in thread: Do We Need a Control Group?

    During covid 🤭, on Facebook, a local school person (and with support of others) made the statement that they would gladly administer the covid vaccine to students without the consent of the parents. I informed this person that if they did that, that I would employ the golden rule and would...

    Yeah. He's an NPC. Leftists are basically a precursor to the coming AI bots.
  • Post in thread: BYE BYE Tucker...

    You're running cover for your beloved savior, for what reason I don't know? And blaming abstract concepts like capitalism for bidens corruption. You've gone full antifa. Ultimately Biden is just window dressing. It's his handlers who don't want to be exposed. Perhaps you're just too scared...
