Up until Last week I had never heard of pre-charging a larger inverter before connecting the battery cables. I just lived with the spark. But I was watching a "Will" video about a DIY LFP build and saw that he used a resistor before connecting the Positive Terminal. This peaked my...

Here was my very simple wiring diagram for ordering parts and getting it all in my head

Today was cleaning, feeding and care day in the hydro garden . Got everything dressed up for beauty shots. This little hydro system keeps the wife and I in salad and greens 3-6 days a week. All we want. I harvested 3 stuffed grocery bags off it Monday ... Cut all these lettuces to nubs, and...

Friend's don't let friends buy AGMs

I thinks 2, maybe 7 ? Let's not spoil my chances with technicalities

That was / is the plan with the setup we built. Hurricane coming? Just get the batteries charged and pull the trailer to where the power went out.

@Will Prowse ,I'm not trying to suck up or be a fan boy but I pretty much discovered the "how to" of DIY LFP from your videos. I've wanted to DIY LFP for the past 4 years. But finding a working bms and cost friendly cells made this out of reach. This forum solved both questions. And I've...

I'm on the way to Kissimmee. Tours of my set up are $5. The parks 1.5 hrs south of here are 20+x's that. I'm offering greater value. And lake front views.

Is that some kind of Magic Dryer? ? Mine uses 5000 watts an hour. That's the only thing left on grid. I'll use a clothes line in a $HTF

I think it's too hard to keep up with who is reputable. Many times a seller will start off reputable and sell a bunch of really good cells and then later on start dumping a bunch of bad cells

I do not understand the onion at all ... but this is my favorite Ohm's Law pic. I like the characters ?

And here I was just worrying the other day about where I'd dispose of these 40 cells I the have. If the OPs study is correct, I'll be dead, it'll be somebody else's problem ?

Energizer Lithium is the longest lasting. Says so right on the package.

Fucks or Ducks? I guessed it doesn't matter. Either way it's Fowl language. ?

Thanks. I now have tracking numbers and my cells are slated to arrive tomorrow. I might start my own thread of the unboxing and first impressions.

Summer Power Use Update since Solar AC install

Got the trailer for the Build at my house a few weeks ago. Have had some time to get things started. Batteries are Almost Done - They're mounted in shelves I built into the trailer - I built room for 5 battery banks, but we are starting with 2 - Got all the battery electronics in, and 1 out...
