This channel is focused on DIY Electronics, Home Automation, Batteries, Gold Prospecting, Reviews, Chit Chat and Hobbies.

I'm a former Communication and calibration Technician with the Australian Defence Force and I'm keen to share some of my knowledge.

If you're looking to build a home solar system using recycled or new batteries, I offer some helpful insight into achieving this.

Feel free to comment, but please keep thing kind and civil.

Cheers Chuxxsss

@@Mrkingtut This mod is a no-root solution to prevent privileged mode from being disabled by iFit. It makes no changes to /system, so it is 100% reversible by doing a factory reset.

@chuxxsss I found a treadmill at a hotel gym that someone did the privileged mode hack and deleted ifit from the system somehow. I found a way to install ifit back in through apk programs but it still runs in a tablet windowed mode and someone can still come along and delete the app again. End goal is to make it only run ifit like the factory settings.

oh. Nah, gonna stay away from this "sacred geometry" type stuff*. The answer to this sortof thing is almost ALWAYS just an adequate familiarity with logical fallacies & cognitive biases. It's what eventually boiled down into the modern scientific method, basically just howto STOP fooling yourself when testing if things actually work or not. Cut my teeth with "JOE CELLS" a couple decades ago, and as i grew up & left that community i not coincidentally left religion entirely - i'd learned universal lessons about how stupid we all can be, about how easy it is to fool ourselves if we want to. It's all the blind leading the blind. It was a harsh reality-check on why it's good to have a familiarity with psychology & sociology (ie: MASS psychology).

@chuxxsss
@chuxxsss 6 дней назад
O.k. could be a loose busbar between cells or positive or negative terminal. If battery cells are out of balance the BMS may shut down due to a single cell going undervoltage. The BMS may turn back on when the no-load rest period allows the low voltage cell to recover in voltage enough to reset the BMS' cell undervoltage shutdown. Will be putting out a vlog in the next couple of days about the SPF12000T doing an error 03 similar problem.

I had the same issue on a 5Ah 18V. I found that one of the terminals of one of the MOSFETs was fractured. In your case, I guess that they are on the bottom side of the BMS. On the 5Ah is on the top, therefore was easier for me to spot it. I have used a tiny flathead screwdriver to get under the terminals and lift gently, and there it was 😊. I have soldered it and now is charging and functional.

If I want a generator point attached to my grid tied house, I expect I have to get a transfer switch installed in the switchbox to isolate the grid and allow power from the "generator"? I've also been toying with the idea of connecting a electric HWS with the gas HWS so the electric HWS pre heats the water fro the gas. The energy for the preheated water will come from solar panels -> inverter - > electric HWS. (or maybe replace the element in the HWS with a suitable DC element)

You could take the cover of be careful of the capacitors and trace the lines back to where they come from and compare it to one of these models.
