Diy Tesla Powerwall ep75 200 Fuses BOOM!!!

[@jesseserfling6807]

Lol most people would of just through the hello kitty away instead you handled it like a boss. My daughter said she wants one when she is helping me in the garage. Keep up the awsome work and clean your shop.lol

[@AveRage_Joe]

Lol true that!!! I actually forgot about it and while rumeging around I found it and said YEP lol. I also have the link in box below for that apron lol. Found it on amazon for $6 or 7. Working on cleaning it meow!!!😀💥👍

[@aspendell209]

I remember when you took my suggestion to put your bloopers at the end of your videos. Now you have graduated to: "Hello KZbinrs....oops...ummm...oops....ummm....oh, and now for the bloopers!" LOL. You are my favorite KZbin techie comedy channel. Keep em coming friend!

[@AveRage_Joe]

LOL thanks man, Im glad they are fun and interesting to watch!!!😆👍

[@tinysolarshack9615]

Wow. (Deep breath), this is why we have fuses, perfect example. That could have been SO MUCH worse. I hope a lot of newbies see this video it’s pretty important! I shorted an 18650 last week during a tear down of a laptop pack. I was snipping the cathode to get the weld smooth and touched the casing. DAMN. I don’t think people realize hot hot these get in real time. I could feel that Cell get very hot in under 2 seconds! So tell us or better yet link us to the fuses you are using it might help other stay safe. The Hello Kitty 🐱 apron is really styling! 😂😂🤪🤪🤪💥💥💥💥💥💥. Love your sense of humor. Bryan

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yes for sure this is a Prime example of one of the reasons to have fuses. Granted most of the time the packs wont be hooked up in series on your work bench but still...... Yeah I try to be as careful as I can be taking the packs apart and sometimes Ill make a few sparks! I updated the description box with links to the glass fuses!!! The Hello Kitty apron is hilarious so I just had to wear it LOL😆💥👍

[@Resonantfate]

This is absolutely a validation to the early work you put into testing per-cell fuse options. You could have blown 200 fuses and became a statistic.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yes Sirrr For Sure!!!💥

[@ljy17]

Tiny Solar Shack Yes it’s very important, the current these packs can supply could easily weld pack bus bars together if accidentally shorted, then you have a melt down disaster on your hands!!!!. Fuses are a MUST ! I accidentally shorted one of my packs out a few weeks ago - used a non vde screwdriver so screwdriver shaft shorted the battery pack, opps. No sparks as pack was reactively low voltage (~3.6V) just saw the fuses glow and melt quickly.. I use the same fuses as average joe - 1.5 or 2.5 rating I believe. I tested them on my lab power supply and they always fail immediately after 4-5A. My cells Samsung 26-C’s can max output 5A continually, but system will only pull ~1A each when inverter is fully loaded. So 1.5-2.5 fuse rating is good for my set-up. Newbs to this need to take note as this needs to be thought about and understood, why skimp on one of the lowest cost parts of your build. Buy proper fuses don’t use thin wire or resistor legs. Not worth cheaping out on this part!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Agree 100%! Fuses are a must and they are cheap. Why cheap out more on something that is safety related!!!

[@thesoundsforhealing]

did the fuses save the cells?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yes they did!!!! Sooooooo glad I had them installed!!!!💥

[@terrytexas8257]

Have you checked the cells to see if the fuses protected them?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah they were still at 3.98v😱😀👍

[@rholt2]

Sweet! if nothing else, it may have ended up with you spending a number of hours on repair, but not having to start over with replacement battery purchases!!!! Russ from Coral Springs, Florida, USA

[@lindam1417]

AveRage Joe do you have fuses on both positive and negative ends of the cells? Or can you get away with 1 fuse per cell to break the connection.

[@terrytexas8257]

Linda, I for one do both sides. I use a spot welder now, it saves a TON of time!

[@lindam1417]

Terry Texas I'm working on a pack where I can pop them in or out for balance and if one goes bad. I'm making copper leaf contacts and fusing them together. It just seemed that one fuse would be sufficient to break the connection, but I'm a noob at this so....🤫

[@KelseyBlack]

Does your UPS/inverter output a sine wave or a square/modified sine wave? I've found that some UPSs have extremely dirty square wave output, and others are a cleaner square wave, but still a square wave (as viewed on an Oscilloscope.) Only the pure sine wave output UPSs please all devices I plug into them. Some devices are less forgiving to the square wave inputs.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah the manual states its a pure sine wave. I dont have anything to actually check it other then a watt meter that shows 60hz. I know on a square wave it will show dc on the hz setting.

[@christopherbetancourt6105]

Hey Joe Great Work.. How is it going for you using the welding method have you had any damages doing it.. I never have welded that way being careful not to damage them with excessive heat I heared they go through.. Thanks.

[@AveRage_Joe]

I havent noticed any issues as of yet!👍

[@christopherbetancourt6105]

@@AveRage_Joe thank for the fast reply.

[@racia4095]

Is it worth using Kapton tape on those wires?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yep, thats what my plan is!!!😀👍

[@paulkennett]

I feel your pain, and... thank goodness for fuses!

[@AveRage_Joe]

It sucks but this is how one learns I guess lol!!! Yes, thank goodness for fuses!!!💥😆

[@peterdkay]

With your 14S system, I assume adjacent cells are connected together with your Anderson plugs, so why did the fuses blow!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yes, not all blew because the adjacent packs positive was the same connection in series in series. Does that make since?

[@richpalmisano1740]

Good fuse test Joe!

[@AveRage_Joe]

I know right 😆

[@victorvardamis2732]

Hello Avg Joe, kind of have been going in this direction for awhile now. I have been looking at building a 3 wheeled Trike / car for the last 5 years or so and time usually helps guide direction for me anyway. so cut to point. have given up on a car and have decided on building a E Bike using my old bike with a hub motor kit and time changed things again and I fell into buying a used EBike made by Magnum Bikes and have enjoyed it so much im riding it all winter up here in Maine. 8 degrees now and going for a ride in a few hours... so to the point again. I'm building a 48 Volt battery using 18650s around 20 Ah and have it ready to solder up everything but I like the .5 amp fuses your using. if that's the right size. and want to order some to complete it. is this a good idea for a Ebike battery. assuming the powerwall and ebike battery are closer enough to use for either. Q do you still like the fuses and would you recommend them for an ebike battery. I like the looks of repair and changing out fuses and battery's if need be. sorry on hard getting to my point. I have so many questions and will try to be clearer in the future. Thanks Vic / Dogboy

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah I do a lot of the same and time usually will redirect me lol. I think my uncle has one of those ebikes and he loves it as well. You are dedicated to cruise in those temps. How far do you go usually? How many amps does your ebike battery pull? That would help in deciding the fuse rating. I would think you would want a little higher like maybe 3-5amp fuses to keep the resistance down for an ebike. In a powerwall situation with a tone of cells its not much of an issue. Also keep in mind that the lil glass fuses can break easily from the bus bars moving around. You would need to be a little careful handling the packs and make sure that it is secure in the bike. Mostly the fuses on the ends are the ones that break easily, ones in the middle dont break. But YES I still love the glass fuses and will continue to use them. Yeah I made my cell holders for the ease of replacing cells if I need arises. BOOM😜🔥

[@victorvardamis2732]

Thanks for getting back to me. I'll answer on my bike rides during the winter months. I wear layers and there is a balance to being warm too hot or too cold. im working on accepting getting cold some and wearing a little less for comfort in moving around. lately I go by my hands. when im out riding I wear these insulated rubber glove with neoprene inside layer. there cheap at the local Job Lot store $3.00 crazy price and very warm for quite a while. at 35 degrees I can be outside for hours and not have cold hands. but at 7 degrees its about 30 mins maybe 40. so at about 30 mins my hands start feeling cold so that's my turn around point. I can get back in 15 mins or so and that's a good ride for that cold. 4 degrees is the coldest ride and at night. I enjoy night riding in winter as there are less cars on the road. have to be careful. wear a mask at times and have several lights two rechargeable headlights one very bright. again cheap ebay light. runs on 4 18650 s and came w charger for 20.00 bucks. ( I might be posting some videos sometime soon on my adventures . so back to how far. average winter ride is 4 to 5 miles. coldest days 3 and nice day maybe 9 . thats winter snow and Ice . I even made my Smart Sam tires into DYI studded tires. using 1/2 in x #8 sheet metal screws. to me what your doing sharing your journey is awesome and teaching what you have learned. Its awesome. I've been watching several Battery guys Bike Guys etc. several years ago I built a Stereo tube amplifier using you Tube videos. and have learn to change break shoes build things. I have been a builder my whole life and have always done as much of everything myself that I could. well I have gone on long enough on the How far I ride question. I have to say I have a problem with my left leg 5 years ago I almost lost it and very glad to say I still have it but biking was becoming very hard including balance and getting on and off quick enough and trying to fall less. and being able to peddle up what used to be easy hills were becoming very hard and with the eBike its much nicer. I live on a long hill at the bottom and by the time I got up to the top I was spent before getting any distance. not the first stage is easier and making the rest more enjoyable. I'll check into what my motor is pulling and get back to you. I'm thinking of using a wire fuse just need to figure the guage . have it saved jut escapes me now. your doing a great job. Thanks for more than you know. Vic

[@MrJohnb787]

Hi, I have 7S 80P 18650, how much amp I needed the fuse?

[@AveRage_Joe]

That will depend on your use/application. Most use anything from 2-5amp fuses.

[@jamest.5001]

what kind of solder do you use? I thought solder was solder! but I guess not.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+James stranger There are many kinds of solder and I has a aff link in the description box near the bottom for favorite solder. Its what I use😃👍

[@mikaelthakur]

Have you thought about using fuse wire instead?

[@AveRage_Joe]

I have and tested many different ones but wanted something to pop lower then what everyone else was using for there fuse wire in a powerwall. Wire is for sure faster to install but you need to get 44awg or smaller to pop at about the same amp rating I am using and that stuff breaks easier then these guys lol.🖒

[@rayh7094]

Hey Joe ! I'm trying to build a battery back-up for my sump pump (120V/7.5A) Can you make a video about building a UPS for bigger equipments?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Hey Ray, my regular powerwall would be basically what you would want. Im using a 2700watt ups and 1400cells. It could run your sump pump for over 8 hours!

[@prejeanoffgridboondocking862]

Sooo....you let out the magic smoke??? LOL. Hey....question: You ever did a follow-up on that 24v back up UPS? I remember you set it up without a BMS. Just wondering if that is still the way youre using it....or are you still using the UPS??

[@AveRage_Joe]

I let the magic smoke out of 200 fuses, the batrium watchmon and well I broke the tv screen lol. Ya I have been using it randomly and so far everything is ok. I havent made a follow up video yet cause I want to redo that pack with the same cells and I do want to add a little cheapo bms to be on the safe side. Hope to do that here soon!

[@bcmasur]

Maybe build shells for each 100P pack?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Ill probly just put something in between the packs untill I get 3D printer then I can just make like a C clamp to hold them in place!👍

[@charlestatakis9363]

We never had so much fun.......because we're just watching. Seriously, better days are coming.

LOL I hope the fun to watch!!! Need lots more solar and then better days for sure!!!😀👍

[@webslinger2011]

Tried replacing my drill's batteries. Thought it went great. Then after 2 days the optoisolator(at least I think it is, let out some smoke and started fizzing).

[@AveRage_Joe]

+webslinger2011 Hhmmm crappy!😒

[@mikep95133]

In industry the packs banging together are what we call a happy accident. Your choice of fuses and their install method worked !!! Of course it was a pain in the butt !! But the data is invaluable!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yes total PIA to install but SOOOOOOOO glad I did!!!!! Only a little boom💥😆

[@kmuralikrishna1582]

Hi @jeo great job. I have few quires... Could you help What if you use there BMS... Using BMS can we avoid such incident...? Example 4840ah battery pack. That contains BMS, even if it have BMS still need fuses at cell level..?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah I would use cell level fuses in a powerwall. Fuses or small wire for fuses is acceptable. BMS is a must as well! Doesnt have to be crazy expensive bms just find one that fits your needs.

[@leroylucas961]

Why not throw in a extra safty measure like a thermol fuse to prevent over heating cells when charging or heating

[@AveRage_Joe]

I guess one could do that. I know my packs dont get very warm or hot even but you could for sure use them. Batriums longmons have temp sensors on them and you can set it up to disconnect or turn on fans at desired temps.

[@justincash6037]

Congrats. Fuses did their thing and you didn’t burn the house down. I was tearing down a pack and damaged a battery It started burning and then at the same moment my 3 year old came home and wants to see what daddy was doing. She wanted to play. I broke into sweat as I was trying to extract the burning battery from the pack and get it out of the house while simultaneously trying to get my child away I was getting excited, my daughter started crying, and my wife didn’t understand what I was doing. Fuses good. Chuck damaged batteries. Do tear downs in a safe place. Avoid shorts. Avoid over amps charging and discharging Avoid over temp.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks Man! Yeah Im sooooo glad I had the fuses and that was the only thing that went wrong. Good to hear you got that cell out. Was it a pack you built or a laptop pack you were getting cells from?

[@leroylucas961]

I would like to see ppl using thermol fuses in there packs

[@Energizer34]

What do you think about the idea of shrink wrapping all but what needs to be exposed on each pack like just leave the batrium plugs exposed and maybe a window to look at the fuses but have the rest shrink wrapped? If you had to replace a fuse you could just cut away that area and then tape it back later. I used clear shrink wrap on the packs I made to keep what happened to you from happening from me. I don't have my packs fused yet so I guess I had a lot more to lose. After seeing this video I may just add fuses to my packs as well. These batteries put out a crazy amount of amperage so I am realizing that we have to be vigilant to stay safe. By the way I like your vacuum tube hose thingy. Does the sound of that motor interfere with the mic pickup? Oh and my wife cannot comprehend any of the technical jargon that you use but she says that she likes it when I watch your videos over anyone elses because you are more authentic than any of the other people in the videos that I watch. Se loves your childlike innocence and it makes us both laugh. There is bound to be negative people that will come in and comment on some of your videos, but I hope that you will remember these words the next time someone tries to share there darkness with you and will serve as a reminder that it is there darkness and not yours. Thanks for all the time and effort it takes to share your experiences here with batteries, solar, and inverters. God bless.

[@AveRage_Joe]

That is a possible solution! The batrium longmons would need to be away from the heat shrink possibly because they can get quit hot. I think Ill use kapton take along the bus bars to prevent possible fuse poppage! I would add fuses or fuse wire for sure!!! You never know when or where a mishap could happen! Well tell your wife thank you very much and I am being the true me! I would rather be me then try to act like someone Im not!!! I have been down the road of other peoples darkness affecting me or the things I do and it was not fun! After a spiritual awakening, most things dont bother me unless I have a lesson to learn! Thanks for watching and many more videos to come!! 😀👍

maybe you should put a main fuse in. that will blow before all the tiny ones will. that's what I'm thinking about doing. I need to get started building batteries.

[@AveRage_Joe]

I am wanting to build small and practical solar power box. There are so many videos out there , but they really make me scratch my head. Thanks for all you do. Love your videos. You crack me up bro

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks!!! I show how to build a 24v battery pack for a smaller UPS here kzbin.info/www/bejne/haWlepJ6p5eWf6s ! Not sure if you have seen that one. Of course you would just make it 12v😉😆👍

[@danielhughes6896]

Seems like it would be a good idea to design the packs so they don't have exposed bus bars, or at least spacers so they can't short by pushing into each other.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah bus bars that are not exposed would be great!!! Spacers/something in between the packs are coming here soon for sure lol!😆👍

[@skipsteel]

It could be the Matrix, you lead an exciting life for an average Joe...lol. Ever think of just using 10 AMP Pre-Tinned Fuse wire I got some from the UK it's pretty neat really easy to solder.

[@AveRage_Joe]

There is a glitch in the matrix😱😆 I agree that life is exciting cause I love to tinker!!! I have tested many fuse wire and copper wire and decided to go with the glass fuses because I wanted the fuse to pop around 2amps so if a cell decides to self drain or just go bad in general it will pop the fuse sooner vs eventually pulling 10amps slowly over time and make a glowing red wire and be a possible fire hazard. With the glass fuse its all self contained. Thats my point of view on it at least. Many people are happy with a 10amp wire tho! 😀👍

[@rholt2]

wow! I TOTALLY know what you're going through - this past week or so has been epic for me having things blow up either due to my stupidity or cosmic kharma. i feel for ya - & also know the dread of just having to THINK about the work that lies ahead JUST in order to get back to where you were days ago!!!! so... i'm watching your vid (all your vids are incredibly enjoyable and i find them engrossing)... but i'm watching and, you know, getting that feeling of queezy in the stomach just thinking about how easy it would have been to have the accident that you did. while looking at the "Table of Death" scene and then watching you put the banks back in the rack, i though - what he needs are bumpers... maybe not "rubber-baby-buggy-bumpers" (you may be too young to remember that tongue-twister), but something similar to how boats use these things over the side of the hull when they're coming into a dock somewhere. anyway - it made me think about what i'm doing currently (pun intended) with my add-on battery banks that i'm creating 3d-printed holders for, and i'll probably incorporate either add-on bumpers, or have the safety bumpers built into the 3d-Printed holders. Russ from Coral Springs, Florida, USA

[@AveRage_Joe]

LOL YEP thats how it went!!! I was thinking the very same thing about redoing those packs lol. It happens I guess. You know thats a pretty good idea with those bumpers. I could probly use like a rubber hose or some thing since I dont have a 3D printer yet. You will have to show me what you end up with!!!👍🚤

[@bcmasur]

LOL i do this just about daily

[@bcmasur]

zero dislikes. cool. some days you are pigeon, some days you are the statue. Bought a BackUPS 350 (200 watts) for $5, dead battery, not replacing it, just going to wire it into my 3S15P... finally about to have some solar-powered AC.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Ya some videos are like that but its still early 😜 Nice find!! Its always nice to get something going for sure!!!👍

[@bcmasur]

BOOM! heh. baby steps, I'm gathering more 18650s... might get some of those axial glass fuses. I absolutely HATE soldering, though, so maybe I'll somehow stick with the magnets... maybe can stick the fuses under the magnets. This aluminum duct tape's gotta go.. I'm only using one 100w panel right now so I'm concerned that if I add too many more 18650s the panel won't be strong enough to charge it all. 3S15P right now, was thinking about doubling it.. second 3S15P in parallel. or I might get impatient and just bring it up to 4S15P...

[@aspendell209]

@bcmasur Be careful. If you are wiring the lipos as a direct replacement for the dead lead/acid battery you will fry them at 3S. Typical charge on lead/acid is at least 13.8Vdc, which would put you way over 4.2v per cell (possible fire/explosion). However 4S would work fine in that configuration.

[@bcmasur]

Aspendell I'm not using SLA anymore, I just wanted it for the DC->AC inverter. I'm using only 3S15P 18650 li-ion, not lipo!!! I'm not plugging this UPS into AC power again, ever, that would be going backwards, I'm just trying to run some little AC stuff off of my solar panel on the roof. I'm hot charging my 3S15P 18650 pack off of my 20V 4.8A solar panel. No BMS, no charge controller, nothing needed but daily eyeballing to make sure nothing is broken. To further clarify, I'm wiring my 3S15P (18650) directly into this inverter as its power source to provide AC. 100W solar panel is on the OTHER end of the 3S15P. Aspendell, if there is still something think I'm forgetting about, please, please let me know. I'm not going to wire this up for about another few more days, since I'm kind of lazy like that and like to mull around a bit before doing anything that might be stupid... not trying to burn my eyelashes off...

[@AveRage_Joe]

The setup sounds fine to me and like you said the daily eyeball since its just going to be an inverter😀👍

[@DIYTechRepairs]

You need to film when you blow things up :P I dont see how you can blow the fuses when they come together? Arent you having them on correct order? If I push mine together nothing will happen

[@AveRage_Joe]

I would love to get some of the blowing things up on camera LOL but you know, cant always have the camera going but maybe I should start lol. Since I have to go from one drawer to the next, it doesnt sit +-+-+-+- its more like +-+--+-++-+--+- how it sits in the server rack so on the 4th pack I drop down to the next drawer and connect up there. If I use extensions I could make it +-+- . I probly could have at least put them in a +-+- order on the bench but, yep sure didnt lol. 😱💥

[@DIYTechRepairs]

Ahh ok then I understand. :)

[@mohammedjaffer8522]

Lesson learnt :). tytyty . Just a question, why have ur fuses at an angle?..Regards.

[@AveRage_Joe]

YES!!!! Lesson learned for sure lol. I put them at an angle to try and get the soldering heat away from the actual fuse in hopes to not mess up the integrity of the fuse since heat can change how the fuse could react!

[@mohammedjaffer8522]

ty :)

If there is rainwater on the screen that might be the problem.

[@anthonykaruri]

got guys good with the boom intro . browsing on a TV hooked up to the HiFi .... yup i said HiFi am old school like that! sorry about the fuses; a suggestion, and not to jinx you but dude put some insulation between the packs in the server rack... like the spongy material that yoga mats are made of?

[@AveRage_Joe]

To bad I didnt get it on camera although it wouldnt have been much of a show since the fuses popped instantly( thank god). Could of been a really bad day! My dad still uses his HIFI stuff and it sounds awesome!!! Yeah Ill be using something in between packs for sure!!!😀👍

[@Dingbat217]

Sound bars may sound alright, if you're half deaf, but nothing beats good set of hifi speakers with dual 10" drivers and a couple of 14" sub-woofers with full surround sound... :-) The wife hates the amplifier and all of the wires but boy does it sound good! And she has admitted that. I love my wife! :-)

[@AveRage_Joe]

I think we all hate the wires but if you have a stereo cabinet or something to hide those wires and there out of site they dont exist😉😀👍

[@anthonykaruri]

[@kurtzxcvb3481]

If it's an LG or ViewSonic flat screen TV usually it's just the power supply of the power supply starts failing off frequency which causes lines in the TV sometimes before they fail the use of brand called craps on you can buy kits to replace the caps look at pastors that are bad are usually have a bubble on top of the cap if not by the kids replace the mole on the power supply just do a Google search of your TV model find out the most common problem soon pretty handy save yourself some money plus you can get some at the second hand store and pour your recycler and fix those ones as well you'll be loaded with TVs

Yeah the tv upstairs was a LG. All the caps appear to be good. Where I broke a little piece of the screen off, there was like 10 little wires running through there and that is whats causing all the lines. I have fixed a lot of tvs that way by replacing all the bulged caps from my recycler lol. I do have about 6 tvs down here now that are a little newer ranging from 42" to 60 or 65" and the caps all look good so it has to bet a fet or something. Ill have to investigate more.😀👍

[@kurtzxcvb3481]

AveRage Joe you can also check the capacitors if you have a voltmeter that does resistance based on uf rides I sent you the message before I wash all the vgao if you need any help I've repaired 2000 TVs

[@AveRage_Joe]

If I have it open Il for sure look at them but I dont think mine will check resistance on uf. I do need to fix those bigger tvs tho!

[@frimaneric]

Haha whoopsies. Think we share the same luck. 😂

[@AveRage_Joe]

I know RIGHT LOL🔋💥😱

[@davidclark3603]

You’re cool!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Ill take that as a compliment!😆

[@phizicks]

First! Fuse the top ends of each pack, use the big car audio 100A fuses or something.. SOMETHING.. lol.. Oh look, there's a paypal link....

[@AveRage_Joe]

BOOM!😆 Im still thinking about those fuses lol. Maybe if I bring out all the packs again for whatever reason ill put those fuses in jic!😜

[@AveRage_Joe]

OMG you are Awesome!!!! Thanks for the Donation!!!😱😱😱😲

[@phizicks]

I shure hope you fuse the ends of those packs with 100A fuses or something to prevent those fuses to blow.

[@phizicks]

btw, just put black tape down the side of the tv.. now it's 15:9

[@AveRage_Joe]

LOLZ

[@1akmason]

[@karlbartelt3939]

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! Just don't do this at work :P it might be a lot more expensive.

[@AveRage_Joe]

For sure dont do it at work although I have blown up 2 windows 😱💥😱💥😜

[@Taiwanek]

You should turn every other pack, then this cannot happen, because you will always have the sides that are connected by a connector next to each other.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah that would be ideal for sure! In my rack, they sit better the other way sadly.

[@Lordofrimgs]

07:55 lol

[@AveRage_Joe]

😆

[@javiermaderolopez6239]

Don’t feel bad for that. I blow a new MPPT Zantrex solar charge controller few years ago. It cost $600. Buy the worst... I am a biomedical field service engineer. Bad bad hahahahaha.

[@AveRage_Joe]

LOL I guess we all do it!!!😱💥👍

[@DIYTechRepairs]

Way to much sound in the intor :D

[@AveRage_Joe]

Was it to loud?

[@DIYTechRepairs]

I just wasn't prepared to it so for headphones it might be a bit surprising :D

[@AveRage_Joe]

Ok cool, thanks for the input and Ill lower the sound on that in the next!😆👍

[@dtec30]

time to put a clear plastic sheet on both sides or at the very least have cardboard inbetween when its on the table i know hindsite is 20\20

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yup!!!! Ill for sure have something in between the packs if there all on the table again. Ill probly end up putting kapton tape along the bus bar to help prevent this in the future as well!💥😱👍

[@cryidis9818]

I use kapton tape to isolate the banks . Cheap insurance

[@AveRage_Joe]

I think thats what Ill be doing! I have some but might need to order more!😀👍

[@rogerkerkmann]

Could be worse, like dropping a can of WD-40 across the battery :.)

[@AveRage_Joe]

EEEEK, did you happen to try that method to pop fuses?😱💥

[@Moglichkeitz]

Quit breaking shit Joe! haha

[@AveRage_Joe]

But I like to break stuff!💥😆

[@alanali6423]

you're hilarious

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thank You!!!😜👍

[@racia4095]

Crap! They come in three's.... Well the fuses work and no fire.

[@AveRage_Joe]

It sure seems like it comes in three's. Yeah thank goodness for fuses!💥💥💥👍

[@gilbertpfaffsr1822]

[@AveRage_Joe]

[@hethestrange]

[@AveRage_Joe]

[@MGunderm]

Joe I have a couple of video cards. We can talk via email about them.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Awesome let me know for sure!!!😱😲👍

[@bcmasur]

my 1GB video card, radeon HD 4850, still running just fine, it doesn't support OpenCL 1.2 so no mining crypto with it... no DX12 so some games I've tried to play don't work.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+bcmasur Ya these 1gigers I have wont mine either. There probly messed up anyways as They were freebies from recycler!

[@bcmasur]

BOOM! ehheheheh it's not because they're 1GB but because they don't support the necessary protocols such as ati/amd needs at least OpenCL 1.2 I just won an M5A97 on eBay for $61, been using an M3A78 with only DDR2 RAM, moving on up! next will probably be a new video card so I can GPU mine (or play new games)

[@webslinger2011]

Wanted to build those but my boss told me 100- 250amp current draw for about 8 minutes using li-ion batteries would shorten their life span.

[@AveRage_Joe]

+webslinger2011 For a powerwall or for tool batteries?

[@webslinger2011]

AveRage Joe It's for our fast charging EV motorbike. Draws a huge amount of current.

[@4priusnt]

Dude stay at work and boom glitchy glue you are only tear their stuff up........ Sorry bout your magic smokin issues

[@AveRage_Joe]

BOOM!😱💥😜

[@STONEDay]

If there is rainwater on the screen that might be the problem.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Very True😜
