I said Cr-V not chrome plating.

Stainless steel is soft. Unless you specifically need it, just go the CR-V and it will last forever.

Stainless is softer. You should only really use that if you have stainless fasteners etc. Even then you just have to be careful. Its…

I have this in Ti but its the discontinued plain Skyhawk A-T. Its the same movement and style just neutral without the Red vs Blue team.…

3rd battery testing continued. Measured full load test done now. 1200W load after 14.2V charge until inverter cutout. It took 2:07:38…

My 3rd battery result on the 150W load with conservative voltages 2746.72Wh (211.20Ah) at 150W, 14.2V charge down to 11.8V cut-off.…

Mine arrived today, nice piece of kit. I'm currently using it in PSU mode with about a 25A load. Will test it changing a 200AH LFP battery…

Are these nicely built? I ask because on the 1st photo you can see a resistor that's gone rogue, near the EN button.

I reckon selecting 14.1V boost and 13.6V float should be ok for LFP, as long as you disconnect reasonably quickly instead of keeping it on…

Yep am sorting it now. They are good to deal with every time I've had to. I'm now thinking this crows-foot wrench will be very useful for…

Its not Wera, is some junk brand tool. But looking more closely, its a 1/2" crows-foot adjustable wrench and it is listed on Amazon and…

Wait, no, it was the Torx keys that I didn't get, I got the Hex keys. gah

Did anyone else just get scammed with this? I ordered a set of the Hex keys from this deal, and also a set of Torx keys as noted in my…

Gah thanks to @King Tightarse I've caved and bought a 3rd 200Ah today. I will be testing it and posting the results here when it arrives,…

>Explain the logic? Not logic, Physics.

Torx also on sale https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00E8HM9N2

Measured full load test done now. 1200W load after 14.2V charge until inverter cutout. It took 2:10:52 supplying 209Ah. Basically the same…

It's my shunt that crapped out. It has just started working again. So I'm re-doing the full load test. The renogy shunt itself always…

And replicating my conservative voltage setup from an earlier test. 2757.37Wh (211.98Ah) at 150W, 14.2V charge down to 11.8V cut-off.…

That's not how it works. The batteries never go on sale by themselves.

Just did a full pull with the fan heater. I couldn't measure the capacity because of my faulty shunt, but I timed it at 2:15:10. Which…

2824.25Wh (218.15Ah) at 150W, 14.6V charge down to 10.0V cut-off. This compares to a similar test on my other pack: >2846.18Wh (219.27Ah)…

It not being C3 is a very very good thing, for people running non-DPF vehicles. There are plenty of anaemic C3 oils DPF users can run.

I caved and bought a second one for $497 using the eBay deal, which I see has expired today. I'm currently testing it with the same process…

This is so cheap its almost rude not to. I have an old 2013 S-Work Demo8 I'm downgrading into more of an enduro spec for mild downhill. I…

I don't get it either. Unless its an original pressing, I don't see the value. And in which case it would stay unplayed anyway, like my…

My age is showing, but I saw them at the first BDO in Auckland 1994. They absolutely rocked, in the mid afternoon mind you. Billy even said…

The terminals on mine look just fine.

They got warm to the touch, but not unexpectedly warm. The wires from the battery to my inverter were much warmer though. So the terminals…

Yep was around 95..97A for most of the test, and ramped up to 110A+ towards the end when voltage dropped.
