    using a gun safe for battery

    Its a combination of the two... fire and security... Where I live if your car is stolen it'll be driven to the next area and driven. Unless you're lucky it won't be returned. I'm not from here but people know if you come onto my property I know and I am armed. Things of "value" are best...

    using a gun safe for battery

    Just bought 32 305ah batteries. Looking at buying this to put them in: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/winchester-gun-safe-26-gun-ts26-45 Pretty sure I could fit 16 more in it with no problems. I'm looking at it from 2 different angles. Its "fire" rated. While it might not...

    Fried Inverters for sale...

    I'm "Northern Ca" which means you could be 6 hours south of me... I'd not mind messing with the split phase one, but wouldn't invest a lot in it. If your near Oregon on the Coast let me know. Thanks

    Samsung SDI Question

    yep, your right This is probably a good thing (mostly) as they will be better in a EV. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

    Samsung SDI Question

    Not bmw modules, didn't even mention them.. They might (or might not) be the same, from what I can tell Samsung uses the term SDI loosely. From what I see these are lifpo4 based, which most ev companies stayed clear of mostly (I think only now they are going that way). (I based this off the...

    Samsung SDI Question

    I know this thread is 2 years old... Having said that what route did you go? I bought 6 of these and got them in today. I don't plan on cutting them apart as I like the manufactured part of the batteries. I feel they have a battery balancer and not a true BMS we'd normally think of. Charging...

    WTS Winston Thundersky 160Ah LiFeYPo4 cells CA or WTB two cells

    I would have been interested but I'm going to a 96vdc system and would require more than 14. Good luck with the sale, and, bump up!

    Anyway to charge battery bank using EV charging stations?

    Tesla knows the VIN of the car being charged. not sure other charging stations get that in depth.... My experience so far is other charging stations struggle (big time) to charge reliably. Would it not be as easy to get a RV spot and charge while there off the provided RV power outlet?

    Charging 300-350VDC battery?

    I came here wondering this as well. If it is able to be set the voltages you'd be able to charge a EV traction battery directly via this (possibly) and then run a inverter off of it as well, no? I watched a video of Jack talking about this before he died, saying this needs to be the way...

    Crypto Currency Mining a Giant Pyramid Scheme?

    Other than skipping over using my view of using a real world valued obtainable resource (water) as the "gold" standard your post just say "give me money for nothing" all over it. Congrats on getting others to give you "money" for the perception of real value, we've been doing it a awhile now...
