Do you remember what the state of charge was (according to the Bluetooth app) after 8 months? Was it around 25-35%? I'm guessing that based on a monthly drop of 2-3%. Excellent content!

That would have been nice to know but unfortunately I didn’t pay attention to that before I charged it up. I’m surprised I didn’t take not of that voltage.

I just received mine damaged right out of the box. Seems like I got a reviewed one because someone took off the lid and the wires were all exposed and a screw fell out of the case. SMH, Also the corner of the battery case is cracked too. I'm Hoping wattcycle will make this right. I was looking forward to putting this battery in my FWC set up. I will post back on here what the outcome is

Don't listen to this ignorant.... first change the breakers for the outlets being used to GFCI BREAKERS ALWAYS connect your neutral and ground. The neutral wires impedance ensures ground fault interruption...This is for ground redundancy.... failure to do so will cause fire 🔥 and or shock... always heat shrink hot wires for exterior outlets (or use liquid electrical tape)

I salute you for doing it yourself with zero experience! Just by watching other videos. If you ever wanted to do another video for a project like this but with expertise involved, i would be happy to help you out and let others see on how to do it right, the problem is most of yall try to always use the easier way of pouring your concrete, i don’t recommend dry concrete never! Mixed concrete using ur muscles is always the best and when you buy mixed cement always buy extra pure cement aside to add to the mixed ones , because you want more cement to flow up and rocks sink when you start finishing , using the edger you probably could have leaned your rest a little bit forward in the way you go , it will make a big difference, also edgers was made for wet ready concrete not dry ! Thats all i gotta say for now.

No plans at this time. I haven’t had any experience with bifacial solar panels. I think they do have a larger generating output potential but that is dependent upon the installation. I’m undecided on whether they are worth the extra cost.

We got ours just a couple of weeks ago. It replaced our Weize 200Ah battery. The Weize was huge by comparison and would only fit in our electrical cabinet at an angle. This 300Ah WattCycle is flat out excellent. We have 400w of solar and 40a MPPT controller. We needed to upgrade to a 2000w inverter to handle the 750w small microwave we occasionally need to run (our 1000w inverter couldn't handle the startup surge of the microwave). We are really happy with the WattCycle so far. And the price was ridiculously cheap, too.

Hi, your link to weldable hinges redirects to 1/4" thick hinges, 1 pound each. Are those the correct ones? Thanks in advance
@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP105 күн бұрын
It just depends on what strength you need for your gate. 1/4" thick is probably overkill for a 4' wood gate. There are many different sizes of weldable hinges to choose from as you may know if you've looked at weldable hinges. I think a 1/8" weldable hinge would be adequate for a 4' wooden gate IMO.

@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 I found hinges 5X5 in eBay, do you think this will be good for a 5' gate? I am thinking that they would be better than 4x4 because with 4x4 you had to weld past the hinges corners, leave some of the plate without welding it, while in 5x5, I would be able to weld the whole plate. Do you think flux (wire) welder will do fine?

I repair commercial appliances and usually what I see in the field is once the flame comes on, the igniter stops drawing amperage; only stays on when starting the flame. Strangely, this Kenmore igniter seems to stay on as long as the flame is on. I’m assuming it’s because the igniter needs to draw amps to keep the gas valve open. Does yours do the same? Any thoughts?
