Diy Tesla Powerwall ep71 Update on Stuffs!

[@tyharding3329]

I got mine up and running until my shunt touched the busbars when closing the door. Yep same problem, I also blew a cell mon melted the shunt corner , blew a whole pack of your style fuses and same problem as you now. I feel your pain. It worked great for a week. Good luck mate.

[@AveRage_Joe]

OOOOOOO CRAPPY😲🙁 Yeah that will do it eeeeeekkk! When did yours do that, maybe theres something in the air going around 😉 Is your pack ok?

[@tyharding3329]

Right around when you started wiring yours in. I couldn’t wait any longer for your videos. Too excited. Haha. One positve( not literally) I can get packages from Batrium next day delivery, but It takes one to two weeks to hear from them. All good. Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to the next episodes. Enjoy!!

[@twotone3070]

Cat didn't deny it.

[@AveRage_Joe]

He had no Comment!!!😼😆

[@EddieHernandez14]

should add leds to the AverageJoe sign you have on the shelf under the charging rig and have it turn on when the ps is plugged in. I kind of was expecting it. Would be cool.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thats a good Idea!!!😀👍

[@rhoemberg1969]

There is a variable resistor pot on the board you can check and change the output voltage on that PSU.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah there should be!

[@kmuralikrishna1582]

You should of make one video when you making that tp4056 module board with components that you used....

[@mobilesigngeek1693]

I have tacked a regular resistor in on a surface mount before

[@AveRage_Joe]

This guy was tiny!

[@mobilesigngeek1693]

@@AveRage_Joe no it can be done you just solder to the pads

[@paulkennett]

Hi Joe. The line filter & is from an old HP Prolient blade server. It'll take 110 V fine. I added that so that you could plug in any old PC power cord without having to rewire every time it moved around the world. Sorry I forgot to include instructions on that though. Cheers, Paul

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Paul Kennett Ok lol. I wasnt sure since I coukdnt find much info on it. Thanks 😃🖒

[@paulkennett]

My bad. It's the classic mistake of assuming everyone else knows what I know - and then being shocked then I discover they don't. *Sigh* Doh!

[@lloydprunier4415]

The older you get the smaller the resistors get!

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Lloyd Prunier For realz!!!

[@DiyintheGhetto]

Good ole Smoke the bear. You had to get him going didn't ya. Now you have done it. "RUN"

[@AveRage_Joe]

You know it!!!

[@ahaveland]

# = hash symbol! :-) Love your vids... looking forward to the next one, and the watchmon repair. Changing the resistor shouldn't be difficult, just very fiddly but it would save weeks of shipping.

[@battery_solar_ev]

BOOM the barrings are DONE lol

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Steven Rowland 🔥😆

[@CarltonDodd]

I hope you have a hot-air rework station! SUPER hard to do those with an iron.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Carlton Dodd Yeppers, got one 😃🖒 Ill have to do a few practice ones on another circuit board😉

[@Lauren-ci6uv]

omg, you are awesome! Love you!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Your Awesomist!!!😍

[@frimaneric]

Good to see you back man :) be careful with the charging thingy now 😂

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah slowly make my way back in there lol. Hey I sent you a msg on the forum, cant remember if I had your email or not.😜

[@ceb515rulez]

Just to let you know in case you weren't aware, that resistor would be 220 ohm. the first two numbers are just numbers and the last digit is the number of zeros following it.

[@ahaveland]

I guess a conventional resistor could be used if it has somewhere to lie without stressing the leads.

[@ceb515rulez]

Andy Lee Robinson yes that would be a valid option, and it would make soldering a new resistor much easier

[@AveRage_Joe]

+ceb515rulez I wasnt aware of that🤔 thanks for the tip😆🖒

[@ahaveland]

You're welcome! Just bear in mind it might not work for really high frequencies as it would introduce extra inductance and propagation delays, but should be fine for this job.

[@jmonsted]

I think you mean 22 ohm. 22 + zero zeros.

[@ballsyau1974]

Never let the smoke out. It's dam hard to get it back in.

[@AveRage_Joe]

TROOF!!!!💥😆

[@JOHNMORIN100]

In Spite of everything your doing great It's really tough trying to do everything hope you pray first man

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks John!!! Im trying getter all done! Figured I share and not hide anything 😀

[@jamest.5001]

who let the smoke out! woof woof woof! or meow. meow. meow!

[@AveRage_Joe]

For Realz!!!

[@jamest.5001]

what kind of pipe was that you made your battery holders out of. not in this video. its been a while ago. the 18650 fits inside . and what kind of glue did you use?

[@AveRage_Joe]

I used 3/4" sch 80 pipe from Lowes and I just used super glue lol😆

[@jamest.5001]

AveRage Joe I just had a idea for you a shirt design. have seen the M*A*S*H 4077th. t shirts? you do AVERAGE*JOE* 18650. t shirts do kinda military themed t shirt. but thanks for the reply. so the super glue holds up over time good? I guess I could go to Lowe's and take a couple cells with me . to be 100% sure they fit. I have done enough re runs back to Lowes. because I forgot things. or got the wrong thing. I'm gonna have to make a list. and take it with me! anyhow thanks!

[@AveRage_Joe]

I like it!!!

[@Oneupthesleevecustoms]

Haha forget to put mine and diy fireman on it so had to do it at post office with crappy dry marker hahahaha

[@AveRage_Joe]

+One up the sleeve customs There markers suck too. Look on the bright side, I let the Magic Smoke outa Batrium!!!! Baaaaaa😂

[@Oneupthesleevecustoms]

AveRage Joe yeah i was a bit sad to hear the smoke got out... never seem to catch it and re install lol

[@AveRage_Joe]

+One up the sleeve customs I wish I would have seen it!

[@HBPowerwall]

Bugger on the Watchmon :( MASSIVE THUMBS up on the Awesomist Battery Charger!!!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

+HBPowerwall Sheit happens!🔥

[@southernohiosolarhomestead8477]

lol love it ,i think im gonna try the 18650s this spring lead acid isnt great in the winter plus slow catch up it seems ,great video sir

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks Man, yeah the 18650 bug will get you lol!!! Fun times ahead!👍

[@ShanLiuGBM]

What kind of 5v power supply is that? Also what charger do you plan to use for the 10s input and how much can the 10s bms handle? Thanks.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Ill see if there is any info on the charger but If I remember right its this one goo.gl/v36DcE 30amps. The bms will be for a 14s system but can be used with any series system. Its powered from your battery bank or can be powered from a USB.

[@ShanLiuGBM]

Thank you for getting back at me man. I like the wall idea very much, and I am definitely going to lowes today to get some of those PVC's you made holders out of and maybe I will just cut them close to the full length of the battery if that doesn't heat them up too much. I make these 1S12p power bricks for my powerbank extension so I don't have to charge but simply replace a brick when I get back, and I can carry 4 bricks in a plastic ammo box, when linked into 4s12p, they can charge my mac many times or power my 27 inch monitor for gaming and stuff when I go camping or just use as cig lighter power source. I think I am going to rip all of the ones I made before and do the DIY battery holder to all of them. How is the super glue holding and would you have gone with PVC cement if you are doing the holders for the first time?

[@AveRage_Joe]

There you go! Yeah give it a try full length of the cell. My packs are holding up very well and Ive moved them around quit a bit. I might try the cement on a test pack, I didnt at the time cause I didnt have any on hand and didnt wanna run out to get any lol.

[@mwint1982]

Those power supplies are dangerous by design. Mains voltage is right there. Everything is metal. Be safe.

[@NERDVilleUK]

Just don’t blow up any resistors on the awesomist board. BOOOOM!

[@levik1832]

I think it's really cool that your charging board keeps making the rounds. That thing must have well over 20,000 KMs of travel under its belt by this point. Quite the testament to your craft and passion, sir! BTW, any forthcoming updates on your carousel charging design? Can't wait to see how that one comes out too!

[@AveRage_Joe]

+NERDVille Cant make any promises😉😉😃

[@Moglichkeitz]

oh me next! hahaha

[@AveRage_Joe]

Magic Smoke or the charger😉. Hey is that your boat on your ch?

[@Moglichkeitz]

Definitely the smoke hahaha, my brothers boat. Lake Havasu. DCB F32

[@AveRage_Joe]

LOL magic smoke all around 😜 Love the boat man! Ive always wanted to take out boat down there, looks like an awesome place to go!!!

[@Moglichkeitz]

hahaha, still testing my thousands of cells as I've had time. Have you had any of them leak electrolyte while charging? Already lost one oppo thanks to that. Havasu is a blast, definitely worth the visit, especially up the colorado river. My brother is planning on picking up an M35 at some point in the future. Talk about an insane boat. I just want to pick myself up a Donzi 22' classic.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+12ax7 No havent had any leak except on a tp4056. An M35 would be sweet. Ya a Donzi 22 classic is cool to. We have a 23' Donzi Regazza cuddy. Weve taken it to the Ozarks and Lake Powell. Havasu is on the list!!!

[@CerebralDad]

I got to setup a little charging station like that...

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Cerebral Dad They come in handy so you can keep capacity checking in the other chargers!😃🖒

[@OffGridAussiePrepper]

oi oi oi joe, explain how u can hook the watchmon up wrong cos I thought there was only 1 way to do it?

[@AveRage_Joe]

+OffGrid Aussie Prepper™ Exactly lol, I cant explain it as of yet. Ive ohm checked all the wire like 8 times and all are the samzies. Next ill slide the sleeving back to check with my eyeballs😃

[@garryspence4521]

Yeah bummer on the Batrium build. The worst part is how long you may have to wait for the replacement. That kangaroo is getting pretty tired swimming across the ocean. My build is also moving slowly as I am installing Solar and Building crypto rig at the same time. I currently have 7 packs built and need 7 more to get to 48v. Anyhow keep the videos coming.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah it sucks but happens! That kangaroo is getting a workout for sure lol. The build takes time when doing all the projects at once😉I do the same lol. You gonna do what Pete is doing and run the crypto off the powerwall once built?

[@garryspence4521]

Yes it is the next logical step for all of us. These rigs can generate money but u have to subtract electric usage. If we can run the rigs on the powere we generate it is then pure profit. If you havent looked into it you should.

[@levik1832]

I hereby request my previous donation be reallocated to the Batrium Memorial Fund. Rest in Peace, my sweet prince! YOU WERE JUST TOO GOOD FOR THIS UGLY, UGLY WORLD!! :P

[@AveRage_Joe]

+levik1832 Lol, Funds Reallocated😉😉😉

[@jonason321]

Hopefully you're able to get the Watchmon replaced because you're promoting the product.

[@AveRage_Joe]

WoolC, but to be far I could have done something wrong. Havent figured it out yet but when I do Ill post for sure!😀

[@offgriddreaming5403]

How annoying! Bit of a worry that the watchmon is so fragile 😨 hope you get it sorted soon

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Offgrid Dreaming Once I figure out what happend Ill for sure share!🖒

[@offgriddreaming5403]

That would be good thanks

[@korishan]

Doh! DOH!! DoH! dOh! DDDOOOOHHH!!!!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Korishan YES!!!

[@kirkb4989]

We can fix it!! Need some 220 ohm resistors? I can send!

[@kirkb4989]

You know, no cost- I should have a bunch I can mail...

[@AveRage_Joe]

+kirkb4989 Yeah I am for sure going to give it a go. Might as well!!!! Let me msg Jaron to see if a 220 would work for a replacement. I know resistors have a + - tolerance so I would imagine it would be fine???

[@kirkb4989]

A 220 is a 220

[@AveRage_Joe]

+kirkb4989 Didnt I say 221? Ill have to rewatch the vid, Its a 221 but would think a 220 would work

[@AveRage_Joe]

+kirkb4989 Just read another comment that a 221 is actually a 220 lol. So let me see what I got and Ill let you know, and thanks btw🖒

[@phizicks]

damn you Daniel :P Average Joes idea of quick is 11 minutes.. That's a SMD resistor. Just ask Batrium what value it is and replace it. Use an AveRageJoe stamp on the AWESOMEIST board :P

[@AveRage_Joe]

I know right, it started out as just the Magic smoke then it turned into the charger as well lol! Yup waiting to hear back on resistor. OOOO a Stamp😀👍

[@dewimke]

For real ??? you blew the input... hoooooh Jaron is going to be angry....... ;)

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yup SURE DID LOL. Why hide it!😜

[@bcmasur]

# is still called "pound" and it's only a hashtag when it is like #thisentirethingiscalledahashtag which is prounced, "pound this entire thing is called a hashtag"

[@AveRage_Joe]

HASHTAG YES I forget that word all the time lol!

[@butchwilliams7637]

Oh that sucks. Made a shortmon out of it.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+Butch Williams Lol True that

[@bcmasur]

poor kitty...

[@macmant9395]

Joe, I like your work. I believe is above average, but there is something that keep bothering me and is the name of "Tesla" that people are using for projects like this one. And that include the so bad called Tesla vehicles. In case people don't know, Tesla was a genius on AC or alternated current, but he also didn't like DC or direct current. Edison was the one working with DC and he hated Tesla. So why people keep calling this kind of projects Tesla? Instead should be called Edison. See, everything before the inverter is DC; the solar panels, the solar charge controller, and the HEART of the project The BATTERY, all of them belongs to the world of DC, Thomas Edison. So, it should be called " Power Wall Edison". Same goes to the vehicles wher the only piece that might be AC (Tesla) is the motor, anything else is DC (Edison). But I will continue watching yours videos cause they are awesome and like I said before, you have become above average. Keep it up.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks! I hear ya, Im a big fan of the real Tesla!! The name Tesla is just the company Elon Musk made for his biss. 😆👍👍👍

[@DIYTechRepairs]

First!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah Buddy!!!

[@tonyb.4824]

Following the long prescribed procedure for post trauma smoke release, first look everywhere you put your d#%$-skinners. The first thing that comes to mind is that you may have crossed a set of the pins when you did your fancy-pants sleeving. Good luck with the micro soldering. Great video though! POUND ME......really Joe. Someone be by shortly to collect your Man Card.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah I was up late that night rechecking all the wires ect... They all ohm good but Im gonna slide the sleeve back to get some eyeballs on it. LOL Pound Me BAAAHAAAA😜

[@tonyb.4824]

I would hope that Batrium powers everything up before they ship. Unfortunately, most times like this it turns out to be the end user's mistake. Either way, it's just a bump in the road. As good a job as you've done on this project, you were bound to hit a snag somewhere.

[@harveyboy45]

Man you have a comedy face get in the movies
