There was a build ? 🤣

Much respect for making do. I started with a 2KW Liebert UPS my employer was throwing out. And four car batteries from walmart. I did not maintain my batteries and of course they had to be replaced every couple of years. After two battery replacement cycles. I am at 1/3 the cost of a lithium. With one mighty tax return, I splurged for an EG4 LifePO4. So glad I did. Next tax return I picked up an EG4 3Kw inverter and another battery. another year passes and two more batteries and financed 10 solar panels. This weekend I pick up my 5th 5Kw battery with a few more payments left from the panel purchase. You are opening pandora's box. I find alternative energy sources addicting. The system slowly gets bigger and my electric bill keeps getting smaller as I throw more devices on it. Once or twice a year the power goes out where I am for a day and sometimes days. Over the years, I am about 10 grand invested and $150 a month is shaved off my electric bill. I live in the burbs. Retiring in a rural space is around the corner for me. My system may outlive me.

Sorry for the question im asking if it is silly . I was wondering if i had 10 spare group 31 truck batteries could i arrange them into a power source similar to this or is it not a possibility.

Loooong steady charge like days and days and don't turn your bulk voltage lower than 29.8v .If you see the positve post starting to push the case up after you get them fully charged after running them like that for a couple months than lower the bulk voltage a bit . Been off grid for over 20 years and am the guy who has those 6 v batteries i offered you last year . Batteries like that take days to fully charge esspecially in the state yours are in . And also take each battery off the main bank one at a time to charge it separately . Only put it back after it passes load test and each cell is okay than move on to the next 24v battery . Trust me I've been in your situation with those types of batteries . Don't overheat them when charging though just let them get warm

Good to se that thy Improved, lets hope thy improve more. have you replaced the DC generator? or are you gone rebuild it?

Build your own battery with EVE MB31 LF314 3.2V Prismatic LiFePO4 Cell, Grade A class, 8000 Cycles. At one cycle per day and 365 days this is a 21 year battery. $82/cell x 8 cells = $656 for a 314 Amp Hour battery that can be used down to 0% instead of 50% JK-BMS (Battery Management System) is the best in the industry, (B2A8S20P) 200Amp charge and discharge, 24V with Bluetooth phone app, 2A Active Balancer for Solar LiFePO4 Batteries $95.00/BMS So, one complete 24VDC (25.6) 314 amp Hour battery costs $751 and is only 11.2” long x 13.6” wide x 8.0” tall. Each cell is 2.8” x 6.8” x 8.0” tall. USA Stock out of Texas, no sales tax or shipping.

treat yourself to a tripod brother, cheers

I’ve worked at a lead acid battery factory for nearly eight years. I’m in charge of acid blending, charging, and load testing. I’m an electrochemical engineer. Here’s a bit of knowledge, batteries are pre-sulfated during the acid refilling process after the initial charge is performed. The stated reason is that it makes charging more efficient. And it’s true, it does. For a while. What really happens is that the concentration of sulfate used in the acid blend is formulated specifically for getting the battery just to the end of the warranty period. Motorcycle battery acid doesn’t contain the sulfate. When you buy a battery the best thing you can do is dump the acid out and refill it with new, clean, motorcycle acid in the SG range of 1.35-1.4 gm/cm3 The batteries aren’t sold with watered down acid. It’s actually a stronger acid than the acid used for charging. What happens is that the acid goes through a chemical change and no longer goes back into solution when the plates become sulfated. Adding higher gravity acid when this happens doesn’t help or fix anything. The plates are already shot and won’t sustain a load.

take a 6v outside flip upside down. shake it then drain it. refill with acid and that stuff. then see

Lead acid batteries are dead, long live lithium iron phosphate.

I have had good results with battery reconditioners. Not awesome, but good. I had a few low end O'Reilly car batteries last 10ish years by running a reconditioner on them for a couple of days every 4-6 months. I also had my truck battery run down to 4.6v on a 12v battery. I put a dumb charger on it to make my reconditioner think it was reading 12v and go into recondition mode, then shut off the dumb charger, it got that battery back up to 12.6v and it lasted another year before I had to replace it. It had been damaged in an accident and was not recoverable after that. It may have made it another few years if not for that. It was already three years past its warranty date when I had it run down.

How would it do with non hardwood like mulberry? I wonder

I've dealt with lead acid batteries for 35 years in electric drive material handling equipment. There's one thing and one thing only that truly tests a battery, and that's a load test. You can have perfect hydrometer readings and completely toasted plates. I'm not going to give my 'battery speach' that I used to give customers on why they need to maintain their batteries and what happens if they don't. That takes 20 minutes to type out. Anyway, you need to load test before you'll know anything definite. Here's one thing I learned. They've been coming out with battery rejuvenator quick fixes for at least 25 years. We jokingly call them 'battery in a can'. I haven't seen one produce a satisfactory result yet. I wish you luck on it. I hope it works, but I'm 99% sure you won't be happy with it. I've replaced damaged cells before (you can do that in 3000 lb forklift batteries), and that's the only "repair" I'll ever do. Most of the time, every battery cell has been though the same life as every other cell, and most of the time, the fix for a tired battery is a new battery. The only fix for a non modular (car) type battery is a new battery.

charge charge and more charge. get em charged for a WEEK! not just a day. Charge the ever living daylights out of them. raise your float voltage to 13.8 to 13.9v. or increase absorption duration. get them charged until specific gravity stops increasing/improving. old and really low lead acid batteries are stubborn to come back up if they've been like that for a while. they need heaps of time and extra charging.

You may need to set a higher float voltage on your charge controller. I found the batteries on my shed's solar system were also showing very low, since they don't float 24/7 like in a UPS, for solar I find it's best to bump it up a bit. Then check back in a few days, and keep an eye on it until you're back in the green.

I love watching your videos....truly. my wife and I are looking at buying land and going off the grid with a cabin. That said we would love a part series on how to step by step and what the acronyms mean...oh and one more thing, we're hiring you! God Bless ya

Wow

I am looking for more information on this post there. This build right off generator off grid I want to learn more information on how do you build this input it all together and got to work. Looking for all detail plans how do you build kits and when you got the motor and everything at and the alternator how much power would it put out how long would it lasts to keep the batteries charged no son or when

Nice

Is the element a dc one?

Ive been thinking of doing this myself.

Nothing sounds like those old vtwins

Looks like alot of white oak. Very nice

Looks like alot of white oak. Nice

What kind of battery bank do you have?

Must be very sunny and great positioning of the panels. I use to use those 100watters until i learned i can buy the big 300+watt ones that are 34voc each for almost the same price. Solar is very cool huh

Non hemi

How long will your motor run before it runs out of gas?

How long will that motor run before it runs out of gas?

So proud of my Daughter. She has stuck with orchestra since 5th grade and now as seniors, they throw quite the concert! Thanks for watching.

Sir you've been productive lately 🎉. Keep up the good work

Too much work! Mine are only at 26% winter level and summer is 14% angle on horizon. Center Texas verses living in the deep freezer you have.

👌👌👌

some hot loads you got there

Nice work Professor! Together you and I would have got us off the island without the help of the Skipper or Thuston Howell the 3rd ! And that’s after we took care of Ginger and Maryanne!😜

Heat sinks need the blades going up and down……not side to side,

The glass on my stove door broke….any suggestions as it’s -10 and only gunna get colder….I’m in a fly-in location

note i have 3 of then what u need is solar tracker because u have else moves with the sun

The beetle in the image is a Burying Beetle. They are also known as "Carrion Beetles" or "Sepulchral Beetles" because they bury small dead animals to feed their young. The little bugs on its back are mite hitchhikers. Mites are tiny arachnids, related to spiders and ticks. They often hitch rides on larger insects like beetles, using them as a way to travel to new food sources. These mites are likely taking advantage of the burying beetle's hunting and feeding habits. While the mites might look a bit creepy, they are not harmful to the beetle or humans. In fact, they can be beneficial by helping to clean the beetle's body and remove any parasites.

What brand is your turbine?

I'm glad the wind turbine is still serving u well. I can imagine u did the wind dance.

After Filming this I checked local wind spees which was 20mph from the NE.

Nice , greetings from across the pond !! do you always run the batteries that low? cheers.

i like your ground mont low ,live fl so i try panels low its hurricane country

Long live the solar tour!

90watts won by tilting few degrees :) That rack looks great!

Nice, minimal movement for engagement.

God Bless you back!!!!! Nice

Weird looking rifle
