    New batteries now, or in a year?

    If there is a world-wide recession through next year, lithium battery prices could drop. It's difficult to predict, though. I think prices have increased recently?

    can one demote some bad Lead acid 12v battery to use as a 6v battery?

    You're clowning us again. Everything he advises is 100% legitimate. When you get exposed, we're in for a epic meltdown. Maybe it's time to get off the internet?

    Yeah, a empty gas tank is more dangerous than a full one.

    Opinion on DIY lugs

    Some of these guys have hydraulic crimp tools that "cold weld" the crimp connection. That seems very solid. I do the crimp and solder, and when you use rosin flux and the right technique, a good amount of lead will flow into the crimped connector.

    That would make a good YouTube video.

    Stop clowning us. I personally tested this YouTube trick, and it worked.

    Why are you so sure all the YouTube techniques have no value? Opinionated people make for stupid forums. Don't be a part of that demographic. I think it's interesting to try these tricks and report the outcome. I had luck restoring one failed starting battery. The YouTube trick was trickle...

    That's interesting. Identify and link the functional cells of multiple 12V lead acid batteries to build one with enough voltage.

    Try some of the YouTube tricks to restore lead acid batteries. In a MadMax scenerio we might be salvaging batteries out of cars and cell phone towers.

    Tiny solar battery project

    I might use a single 18650 li-ion cell.

    Where is @Will Prowse?

    Yes, the assistants could actually perform the battery cell drill and puncture testing.

    Ebike camping with my solar generator

    How many watts can you generate in a day? How many watts do you use?

    Anyone have these LiFePO4 Batteries?

    You should include the brand name to your title.

    Heat without electricity recommendations.

    Running a generator to get extra efficiency on propane? Can you run the electric component (ignition, blower motor) for propane heat from your solar inverter? There are catalytic propane heaters that use no electricity.

    A warning about aliexpress and a question

    My credit card was also declined on AliExpress, which I thought odd. I never would provide other types of payment, either. I soon realized the product listing was a scam. It was for a battery built of 18650 li ion cells, but the specified dimensions were to small for the alleged capacity.
