Why isnt there any installation instructions????? One wire goes to herm here, another one goes to ptrc and third goes wherever????? I dont understand why people make videos where they have to do something ANYWAY. just take second and tell us as you do it. I absolutely HATE videos that dont walk us through installation that they are doing ANYWAY!!!

I have the same Dr. Prepare battery. It is in the cap of my pickup truck. It is powering my Setpower PT55 refrigerator/freezer. I have three 110 watt flexible solar panels on the roof of my cap on my truck and one 100 watt CIGS solar panel on the roof of the truck itself. Last year I ran it for 185 straight days powered by my Dr. Prepare battery. I am doing the same this year. I added panels this year and now I am always fully charged. I love the mods you did on your battery. I wish I had an Anderson plug built in.

You do know those ACs require the cover to be on to operate without overloading, right? Without the cover, there is little airflow over the condenser coil. I wonder how much life you removed from them running them for too long without the cover? Also, unless you use the exact same AC for every unit, you're creating invalid results. They might be the same models, but they all surely have different startup profiles depending on how many hours they have on them. Hyperbole humidity too - 95 degrees and 90% humidity is impossible. That would put the dew point at almost 92 degrees; almost 10 degrees higher than the highest dew point ever recorded in the US, and more than 20 degrees more than a typical summer day in the most humid parts of the country. Apparently you just like to hear yourself talk.
@Hunleygarage Ай бұрын
Thanks for your nice comment. I am EPA 608 certified so yes I do know - about 0.0 life removed for the 3 minutes they ran making sure the starter worked correctly. Even if I did run the unit without the cover I wonder how the fan motor life would be reduced or even the compressor motor? I was also testing startup amps from the compressor draw. Yes they will all vary but very little. Do you always leave flattering comments on videos? I loved yours.

Agree - I put some little fans in it. Is the lifepo4 chemistry subject to run away?
@riariaria 5 сағат бұрын
@@Hunleygarage I’ve been told that while LifePO4 batteries are among the safest of battery chemistry’s, they can occasionally experience thermal run away if the BMS fails or if a cells are punctured. During normal operating conditions off gassing in aLifePO4 is minimal, but a during thermal runaway event LiFeP04’s produce gases that are highly flammable. If they’re allowed to build up, like in a sealed container they can cause an explosion.

It's crazy to see this and realize just how much power density they shove into our Teslas. I have a 23 Model S Plaid and was considering carrying a massive LiPo battery in the lower trunk area as an "in case of emergency, break glass" box that would get me to the next charging location if I ran out of juice, but for maybe 7-8 miles of extended range, it doesn't seem practical at all.
@Hunleygarage 2 ай бұрын
Agree on power density they make in the car. Pending you watt/mile - the 2,560 watts could get you 12 miles at 200w/mile. Still not very far, and would take 2 hours to charge. If you could get 30 - that would be worth the trouble. After driving all over, guess I’m not really concerned anymore with knowing the limitations and with chargers being everywhere. If I was going somewhere remote, might want to toss something in though

Some points of interest for your viewers... I have the ~$34 10amp/12volt w/BT version of the Bateria on two 100w panels and it works beautifully. It's limited to passing just 150w to the battery so it would actually be the choice for that box as you have it now.

You could also connect a 110/230V Inverter. That would certainly make it more universal. The size would increase though. Also, it would be a good idea to introduce a switch for each output, so that you can turn off the one that is not used. So that all kinds of LEDs do not waste electricity uselessly.

When you say “intercept” the black wire coming from the compressor…do you mean you cut it and connect the soft start black wire to the end connected to the compressor? Or cut it and splice it in with the complete wire?
@Hunleygarage 3 ай бұрын
Which soft start? I think each one was a little different configuration. I had to study what the soft start wanted and studied the wiring diagram. Then figured it out from there. I tried not to cut wires when possible. The hardest part was cutting a hole between the wiring box and the compressor compartment for the one soft start.
