Battery Capacity Tester

I had a break thru. Instead of trying to heat whole tub, just heat 5 gallon bucket then have bucket bath or shower. 5 gallons was enough for wife and me.

Started off at 48F, set thermostat to 135F, it gives some beeps to notify its reached temp. That ended up being way too hot had to let it cool down a bunch. Didn't take long to heat at all.

I love the thermostat I have something I can add separately but I really just want the battery to dump all its energy.

I think I got this figured out I'll do one or two more times and post my data. It literally want to set everything to the real maximum numbers and watch the state of health diminish in real accurate numbers.. The pack will start out over 100 amp hours and slowly diminished so I really get to see what's going on.

Yeah I went with thermostat to make it a dummy proof solution so I didn't forget and boil the tub dry etc.

My one cat loves water so he was entranced playing with the water surface i guess until it got too warm for him and he left.
