Wha? Lithium chargers charge with constant current up until a certain voltage threshold, depending on exact cell chemistry. If you pump 14,2V on a drained lithium battery, you would fry it (and probably the charger too) instantly.

I did have the agm setting on it gets it to 70-80% every time. Which is still more power than I get out of the old lead acids

@@brettseres8352 more energy* power = watts, energy = watt-hours.

Ya moving forwards we will take a little more care not to overfill. And probably replace the older bottles more often with new ones

I don’t have the stl file unfortunately. I bought them from someone.

That’s really good to know because we are looking at getting 2 more and running a 36v trolling motor on it.

As far as I can tell from my own battery. And videos online of other people taking batteries that I suspect are made from the same manufacture. It seems to be sealed up really good. That being said I don’t like any of my batteries sitting in the rain, including my lead acids I still have. Something like this www.amazon.com/attwood-9067-1-Power-Vented-Battery/dp/B001O0D6QK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2MIAZ0MH82XYO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.G2pKyrmkvONJ3qrSVrONud4lctiZqLS_Z4FiNxTZeWjL7GR-fA06L0WCc_k0pTyMxQJ1lgp7-NX9UbpsyiYgVkrXAbqAWhfEjv7ldsiXkFwRP6Z4k4yS-p-w-IPMyWsNr9ddrca1deqcPwqpCV__bp7QBaTHXHmDiEqcK5V2zyEAJJP0F4fBPiW2POasxaSb1HbiiulzyO774bmmNDxKvg.fvW5Hh6c0MZIw6MSpHveHaGt7N8lT3SmJKq_gxo_rhc&dib_tag=se&keywords=battery+box&qid=1712334761&sprefix=battery+box%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-3 may be a good idea. Just a. Covered battery box and pretty cheap too. We used to run them on any battery that was exposed to weather.

I’m sure people will criticize me for this but I did used to sell marine batteries when I worked at a marine. There isn’t much difference between marine batteries and regular ones. Marine are built a little tougher as they get abused more and they also don’t vent. Some automotive batteries vent and you don’t want that in an engine hatch. I can’t speak as to how long these batteries will last in rough conditions but I do know they don’t have the plates that can fall apart like lead acids. If I were you I’d use it but just maybe use a battery box like I suggested.

@@brettseres8352 Thank you for the quick reply, you cleared it up for me. I'll definitely get the box!

@@DEVOURR just do the measurements to make sure it’ll fit. It’s cheap protection for an expensive battery. I know we’ve wrecked batteries by having stuff fall on them.

I think I need you to film this video for you. You summed it up pretty excellent I think. So the only think my diesel heater does not so is turn itself on and off. It will turn itself from high to low if you set a constant temperature but won’t turn off if it get to hot. It will just run on low until it runs out of diesel. The newer diesel heaters I believe will turn themselves right off if it gets above the temp you set it too and then won’t turn back on until it cools down. (You also pay more for them but I think they’re down to like $160 Canadian ish). I really do prefer the diesel heater. It’s a dry heat. Has more adjustability in the temperature settings and I think is cheaper to run. But it’s just not at portable. So for that reason I do prefer the propane heater for some applications and I do use the propane heater more. Both have their place. Both work but both are just suited better for different cases. I’m not going to bring a heavy battery and take up a bunch of room on my ice fishing sled to go fishing for a day with a diesel heater. I’ll bring the propane one and an extra bottle. But I will deal with moisture all day. If I were out for a few nights I’ve fishing or camping I’d try ti being the diesel if I could just because the adjustability of heat and it’s just a more pleasant heat. I don’t have a camper trailer but if I did I 100% would want the diesel in it so things don’t get moist and potentially moldy. I also think the diesel heater would heat it a lot better too. So yeah for me it’s all depending on the application is what I’ll use it for, and I did buy both heaters for 2 different applications and am happy with both of them.

@@brettseres8352 Turning on and off... if you set your heater to keep the room at 60F.. and while your fireplace is going the room is at 68-70f the heater won't be going... the temp is above 60 so it won't try and heat up... Once the fire goes out, the temp will start falling and once it hits 55ish, the heater will realize it has to warm the room up and "start". Now as you say, you don't want to take up a lot of space on your ice fishing sled. Picture this. A small "tear drop" trailer, on ski's... with ice fishing holes in side, solar panels on the roof... you tow into place via snowmobile or snowcat, open the holes in the floor of the tear drop and auger 1-2 ice fishing holes. you then put a "sleeve" (bucket with the bottom cut out) though the hole in the tear drop and into the ice hole, this creates an air seal to keep wind from blowing up into the tear drop... and set up your ice fishing rig inside. you can climb in, sit, be warm and off the ice, you have your diesel heater keeping you warm. you have the batteries for when you want to make coffee, or you use a little butane cook top inside to make dinner while fishing. Can stay there, or move as needed without really "setting" things up. Now fuel use, propane will chew through a single 1 lb bottle in about 3 hours... 20 lb bottle will often go for 2-3 days. at max output a little 5kw heater will chew .13 gal per hour. 3 gal per day at constant use max power... but it rarely runs at max power constant, and in most cases even with basic insulation it will chew about 0.058/hr or just over 1gal per day. 5 gal tank will keep you toasty for 4 days in a small cabin, van, or tear drop.

@@jenniferstewarts4851 so if I set my heater to 60 and I had. A wood stove going. My heater would still run on low. It won’t shut off. The newer heater will shut off and then start back up once the temp drops too low. But you pay a little more for the new heaters. I wish I had that kind of ice fishing set up! Unfortunately I can’t afford that right now. Maybe one day I’ll have a nice toe behind sleep but until then I need to use my small pop up shelter.

@@brettseres8352 oh, and remember the golden rule, in survival situations 2 is 1 and 1 is none. If you are expecting to be off grid, even if the weather is supposed to be "fair", have a back up heat source in the winter. Thus if one heater fails due to mechanical problems (buddy wont start because propane is to cold) the ability to switch to an alternate heat source can save your life. being out, and having a bad storm blow in, hunkering down and waiting an extra day or 2 before you can leave... having additional fuel for your primary... and/or a backup to turn to if you run out of fuel for one... is just a no brainer. think of how many people died in texas when they had their cold snap and power outage...

@@brettseres8352 hehe, there are people that "build them" themselves. on the flip side look up Equanox SNOWBULANCE, then realize thats 4 feet wide, 10' long, and think of what you could... put... in that kind of space :)

Off the top of my head 150 each so 300 in total

Which one is cheaper?

MOSEWORTH Lifepo4 battery@@brettseres8352

Yes the cheapest one. I got 2 of for $230 Canadian. Was on sale last week.

Well, they're not $230 anymore.@@user-ut7kh7pw3l

Me too.. they are working great and looking to find some more

Keep checking back daily. They often only have the sales for 1-2 days at a time.

That being said the laptops weren’t working hard. The one I use just to stream music or the news in the background most the day and it’s an 11.6” screen and then my work laptop is a 15.6” screen and we work off web based programs for the majority of our work so it’s not overly labour intensive. And my screen is newer Asus screen that I run with it. If I were doing labour intensive stuff I’m quite sure it would draw a lot more power. The battery is also brand new so it’s still pulling over it’s rated capacity. I do have another video out there on the capacity of the battery tested with work lights. And I have another to edit still where I calculated the watt hour capacity of this test and it came out to 1420 watt hours. Again brand. We battery and after some cycles I expect that to change. I plan on using the battery for my trolling motor for the canoe so I’m sure I’ll make an update video testing with that too. I can’t speak to the longevity of the battery yet but initial impressions are looking good.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Or if you want to see anything else with the battery I can try to make a video on it. I know they can be a big Investment and there is lots I wish I could have asked before getting it.

Just wait. They go down to 250. That’s what I got mine for and last week there were down to 250 as well. The sales only last a day or 2 though.

I got 2 of them. one was 270 and 2nd was 250 Canadian. last week.

@@TheJeffLude have you had a chance to test them out yet? If so initial thoughts? I’m so far impressed with mine. I can’t speak ti longevity yet but they were actually cheaper than a deep cycle I need for the trolling motor on the canoe.

@@brettseres8352 I just tried to charge my Ecoflow power station and it seems to work no problem so far.

None of the budget batteries have low temperature disconnect so that needs to be done externally IE victron battery sense or smart shunt with temp add on and used to control your charger.

I don’t know the exact voltage but it was right around 10v. That’s also what it was advertised on. The way I know that I’s I had looked at my inverter it was at around 10.2-10.3 volts. And within a minute pretty well of turning around, it shut off.

That video also said that it was over 100ah even if it would have cut off at 10v.

20-22lbs. It’s surprisingly light. Our agm 105ah battery weighed 58 I believe

I believe it to be the same as an eco worthy battery and they seem to be lasting. Also some of the Chinese batteries won’t even meet their ratings.

I’m in Canada. We can’t get them that cheap here unfortunately. At the time when I got this it was the cheapest 100ah I could find.

What batteries were they? I wish we could get batteries that cheap here in Canada.

My heater you can’t control the pulse rate. Well not directly. It’s only settings are 1-6 unlike others where you can control the hertz for the settings.

@@brettseres8352 time the pulse rate for 30 seconds and double it for the hz rate 👍

Thanks!

@@brettseres8352 welcome!

American?

Nope not at all. As long as it’s vented outside you won’t smell it. Where we live the wind usually blows away from the garage door though. I’m sure if there was an oncoming wind you may get a little bit of smell. But I’ve yet to have any issues.

I just updated the description and put the Canadian and American links In it.

I don’t have a link for them. I had them made for me by someone and I bought them.

How are they holding up since you put them

@@joeyaube4655 so far so good. But with this season I’ve only been out a handful of times. But I’m pleased with them. They’re stored indoors though if you keep yours outdoors I don’t know how they’d hold up to the sun.

Did he explain why? Or did you just trust him like the experiment vaccines?

I disagree when it’s freezing out you would happily pay $2 to stay nice and warm in your camper van all night 👍🏻🇬🇧

@@AJ-qn6gd And a man dying of thirst would gladly give everything he had for a drink of water. Now please tell me what that has to do with the price of Diesel?

At the moment, pump diesel is £1.47 per liter, to run a 1kw heater costs me 36p in electricity per hour, the heater will run for about 5 hours off a liter, that's about 29p per hour. It's not much but it is a saving. In UK we can get red diesel meant only for off road use and that's about £1 per liter. Fact is that we are mega jipped off here in UK for fuel. Not sure how it is for USA but as far as I can see it is worth doing but does involve faffing about setting it up, it's noisy etc. so when you say not worth it, that depends on your situation and to just state ' not worth it ''could really do with some explanation.

The cost is irrelevant to me for the heater. I have it for a reason. It’s a portable heater for me that can be used for different things than my buddy heater. The cost per hour to stay warm in certain circumstances is irrelevant. But I do want to know how long I can run it before I need more fuel.

When your cold cost means nothing

That may be true. All I know is mine is still working for me. But I’ll have to look again. It seems to me that I Remember my barrel and stuff looking smooth.

@brettseres8352 if it works thats all that matters
