I was asked to post a pic, finally dug enough junk out to get to the battery. I built it nearly a year and a half ago and haven’t seen it since, it’s been working flawlessly
the resistor is wired from position 1 to output, battery is position 2 to output. turning from off to 1 allows a 10/sec...
So My next home is in the mountains, likely 7000ft. My EVE 230AH batteries that i have just nicely bought, top balanced, capacity checked, racked into a lovely oak compression cart with wheels and neoprene in between every battery, are rated for a minimum of 86kpa. thats about 4500 ' above sea...
So I have a stack of santan old panels. Marked at 250 watt. Running though an Electrodacus to a 24v lithium battery pack. Normally I see 30 or 40 amps, sometimes mid 40s on charge. In testing when I got the panels I could get a reliable 200 watts out of them On a hot day. I have 6 panels...
Doing the wiring and trying to shoe horn too much into too small of a space, it seems that the battery ground is only there to operate the dssr iteself and does not need to be the same 10ga wiring. Perhaps the minimum the spring cage is rated for is accep?
can anyone comment on this?

has Anyone tried opening the back panel and gotten different voltages out of it?
Bought this some months ago,

I added a WEG brand 1/4 hp motor to my grain mill, which goes from 1750 rpm through two belt gear reducing pullys to 60 rpm For the mill. tag says 5.78 to 6.78 Amps at 110-127 volts ac.
hooked it up though my kill-a-watt for a load check to make sure it wasn’t overeloading grinding flour...
