    Cryptic Crypto- How can I make $5 per day efficiently?

    Some guys from Russia posted a video who used so many PCs to calculate bicoin they didn't need any additional traditional heating for a lot of the winter months.

    Downsides to LFP's? Sooo many questions and no bandwidth for videos.

    I agree on the LFP in subzero temps for long times. Seems like a real accident waiting to happen and then those could just be junk when one thing happens. Have you looked at LTO, Lithium Titanate? They are not cheap, but they are somewhat like an investment with 20,000-30,000 cycles (they...

    Downsides to LFP's? Sooo many questions and no bandwidth for videos.

    One idea may be to consider making a large portable battery instead. People have videos of basically suitcase batteries, but you could stuff batteries in a lot of things. The 24v system that could be safely transported on wheels means it could be in your shed and at this other place. And then...

    DIY 24-volt 560Ah LiFePO4 battery (272x2=544Ah) with Electrodacus SBMS0 and Electrodacus DSSR20

    Hey Michael, I have a SBMS120+DMPPT450 and am just getting the final stuff together. Lots of crimping and cutting. As luck would have it, I have some of those concrete blocks and some used pressured treated 2x6 and 2x8 from an old deck, so my solar array may end up looking a bit like yours...

    [Project] Extending EV range by offsetting auxiliary 12v loads using solar

    Both. Right? I see discharge listed as down to -20 C and charge down to 0 C (via one online pdf). So, where I live both could be a problem for a car parked outside. Not even being able to discharge is less a problem since it should get down to -20C less, but still could be (bit off topic, but...

    [Project] Extending EV range by offsetting auxiliary 12v loads using solar

    I don't think they are anything special in regards to lifepo4 (140-170 F seems to be upper limit for one google search). I think "headway" cells excel in being able to safely use large amounts of current. They are only maybe 8-16ah 3.2v cells but are labeled as 200amp continuous. Most...

    [Project] Extending EV range by offsetting auxiliary 12v loads using solar

    What I would do in the meantime is measure the current draw on your current battery. Maybe do some digging/reading in to what your actual electric car requires. I know at least some Tesla cars have lead acid 12v batteries in them because when developed they had some 12v requirements, legal and...
