    Uh oh. lost the magic smoke

    Rubbish Cells do it everytime. You need industrial grade new cells like what comes in cordless drill packs if your going to MadMax overload your battery. Or just get a Sur Ron

    Why would it leak when the engine is off?

    240 generator into two single phase120 all-in-one chargers?

    Your Chargers most likley employ PFC circuits. Power Factor Correction. This seriously complicates generator hookups. I would model my gen hookup to supply 50% of the generator load rating. Some attention spent on optimizing the governer linkage to obtain smooth transistion between load on...

    Running Generator on Natural Gas

    Been fitting my Gasoline generators for Natural Gas and they are working great. I'm using the Chinesium Despenser and Carb from Aliexpress. $30. Fitted a Champion 1200 watt and a Homelite 4300 watt. Both run great. No stinky smell. Motors run very smooth.

    Would you like to review my 48v system plan?

    I am planning to do a solar system. It will be my first. Man can't do anything right the first time so plan on doing it at least 3 times to get it half right. That included the money or hire someone to do it for you.

    How dangerous is dc compared with ac

    One will kill you and the other one will too.

    DC Appliance Brainstorm

    Butane boiling point to high. Not good in cold. Try to avoid. Find a Marine Kerosene Gally stove,oven. https://www.morganscloud.com/2009/12/18/kerosene-paraffin-cooker/

    Free AC from the sun!

    The reactance power say 200 watts or there about you are having to make from the batt/inverter combo where this task is usually provided from a capicator bank on the grid. One thing is to emulate or create a solution to make this reactance power yourself. This would go a long way in optimizing...

    PF is the blending of Real Power and Reactane Power.

    PF of mini splits

    The difference between VA and Watts indicates Power Factor.

    Can you charge very discharged LiFePo4 cells temporarily at higher voltages?

    The wire size from the supply to battery is way to small that's why you are seeing 6.3 instead of 9 or ten.

    Battery drain overnight

    12.8 volt is fully charged.

    a question about LiFePO4: charging and cell balance

    Building a Battery with Rubbish Cells will always give you a high maintaince adventure. Don't ask me how I know. The thing with the overheating mosfets when the are shut down I know all to well. Travel Slow and carry a big bucket of water.

    Why do bus bars have voltage ratings?

    The Wire insulation is rated at 600 volts. Not the conductor.

    LOUD Bang! On the roof last night.

    Dogs see Auras through walls. They will alert to someone outside you can't see but they can sense. Should have sent them chasing. Maybe the Ayahuasca.

    Jack Rickard said the BMS started most the fires in the early days. Balance resistors heat. This Pack went up today and IDK why.

    I think I figured out what happened. The drill shorted out and caused the bms to burn. May be a case for removing the battery when not in use. Maybe

    Craftsman tool but the battery is Chinesium. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313650381753?var=612450030641 I ordered the battery for the craftsman set of tools that had tired nicads. I didn't have the charger. I used a bench power supply to charge to 20.5 volts. This is common here to charge drill...

    Portable Solar Generator

    300 watts refrigerator (no). I don't think thats right. Comp LRA forget add a PFC cap at plug for boost 10uF 370 Volts at load for powerfactor correction or LC tune Lag preventer more realisticly you woudl see 150 watts after the inductive lag is corrected. Defrost heater is ?? 600 watts...

    How I keep my trailer warm in subzero temperatures with Chinese diesel heaters.

    A Diesel heater running wide open draws 4.5 amps at 13 volts. Running 2 of them is like 9 amps. Onboard furnace is what 3 amps. Running them on low voltage will make them run Rich. 4% gasoline add to the Diesel or 10-15% Kero to stop gel. Pull your Anchor and sail south till the butter melts...
