    Purchasing with Bitcoin?

    I'm almost all Bitcoin currently. Only using cash for bills, food and taxes. I don't need much either.

    psa: Chargeverter is LOUD

    Yeah what more is needed to know about a battery charger? Would be curious to see what they think is missing from that manual.

    psa: Chargeverter is LOUD

    Measure the DC ripple on output at HVD and it will spike really high. It will fry the BMS fets. Mine fried on the first day. Not worth the risk.

    Yes, that's the one. Dumped it in the trash after that incident. Don't charge lifepo4 with it.

    Lead acid scares me now

    It's a Toyota sienna so it's in the trunk, on the side. Similar to the Prius.

    Lead acid scares me now

    After a few years of not having to charge one of these, I'm terrified of blowing the caps off the top 😂 no high voltage disconnect, no low voltage disconnect. Valve regulated so if any boiling occurs, huge mess of acid all over the vehicle. I'm actually scared to walk near it when it's...

    207kWh System... In 12V??? 😬

    The reason it is very significant is that you're going to balancing issues over time. Also instead of one BMS failling you now have four. Instead of one LVD and HVD, you now have 4 in series. If cell drift occurs at all, one of the batteries will disconnect and render that entire string...

    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    No clue. Ask them what their regulations and let us know what they require. Every county and state has different rules.

    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    I've been googling like crazy to find other ground mount solar array options for diy systems, and the selection is abysmal. I knew that going in, but I am amazed more companies are not jumping at this market. I saw a lot of plastic bin ones at the solar conference, but that's about it. And it...

    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    Very nice! And simple. I wish someone had these corner brackets with different angles so we could have a 30 degree wooden solar mount! How cool would that be. Would take minutes to throw that together.

    207kWh System... In 12V??? 😬

    Yeah, I believe this is just a purely marketing video. I cannot see how anyone would ever choose this configuration for a large scale system at this voltage. So many better options available today. I wonder how many "game changers" have been sold this month. I just cannot see them selling many...
