Grandson's Wheel Horse B100 Will It Run ????
got the same problem with my cat..
after fully charging, it drops the charge back some to preserve life of battery. All chargers do that.
I don't think 7awg cable can handle 100A, right? How can it have 7awg cable?
That's what I thought too but I seemed to do ok and didn't get hot. I guess the silicone high temp wire with very fine strands can safely handle more current. I did like the fact that the over current protection worked quickly at 110 amps.
@@kevincrawford2027 that's good. I have seen other batteries with 8awg so I guess this one is better than the others. I plan to power my room with one of these and I might use high power, 800w or something so cable tickness is something I worry about.
Hey papajunk. Can you explain those clips on how they attach panels to wood? Didn't quit understand. Thanks
See if this helps. ua-cam.com/video/Fupy8FQuqd4/v-deo.htmlsi=E-ppbVyzcRkT3J97
Good review. The Red wire behind the nichrome wires are kind of deceiving 🙂
I bought 4x 200 AH PLUS for the 200 amp BMS based you your REDODO reviews. 48x200Ah connected to my sunpowergold 48v 10KW/20KW 120/240 split phase HYBRID invertor and it runs my entire house. Have 12 450w Sunpower gold panels in series *2 strings of 6* into both PV inputs. I can go strictly off grid if I wanted to, or turn off main breaker and save on the grid power. Literally can run washer, central AC, dryer, 3 fridges and multiple tvs, fan, and led light bulbs. It will run 6-8 off batteries from Redodo. I am happy with them. Whole set up about 7k total invested. Waiting on the new ones with bluetooth capability before I buy another 8 of them. Thanks PapaJunk. Loved your excavator series as well. I have the orange QH-12 and tricked it out. Strong little machine.
Thanks for the comment. I am happy with my Redodo batteries. I have almost all of my 120 volt circuits on my LV6548 including my 230 volt pump (using a 120 to 240 transformer) that feed two houses. I also can't believe how many thing I can find to do with my excavator.
Nice review I'd say. Does it actually peak at 1600 watt?
where did you download the manual for the circuit board? Great video!
I think I found information on the manual on Smokstak.
Watched the video hoping you caught me
Thank you I’m making my own soon
The lights may flicker if light is on same circuit as fridge or freezer.. try putting on dedicated circuit.. motors do draw a lot though if your maxing out the system - you may need bigger inverter to handle the surge to avoid the flicker.... i have the same single unit with single phase 120.. we only get a flicker when portable ac comes on cause it shares wall outlet shares circuit with the plug in lamp in living room.. thanks for sharing your setup.. we use pylon protocol to get an accurate battery read.. you need a battery with a smart bms that has a communication protocol to get it to work properly.. otherwise use the user setting and setup the correct charging settings for your type of battery.. otherwise you may damage them or worse.. what heat pump / mini split do you use - im thinking of trying one as well
You've got to show this in action..
Nice work, but I would have started with cardboard to create a template for those gauges.
Hell I would buy one from you
I appreciate the review and look inside, so thank you. Hard to believe they mis-programmed the low temp cutoff 🤦♂️ I guess the Bluetooth feature is pretty much as good as a shunt? If so, that's pretty cool. Also impressed that it works through the freezer lid/walls.
A little tip for bending copper tube, if you fill it with water then freeze it it will give you smoother bends. I learned this from watching how they make brass instruments.
Tried it once and it expanded the copper and the fittings would no longer go on.
Your sides aren't filled, that would maybe get you to 100lbs.
Thanks for the review I was interested in this cheap battery and you answered all my questions. Good job. Would appreciate some cutting of the charging and discharging we don't really need to see that, just the results. Thanks again.
Wow I really like that very nicely done. I have a 77 economy with a factory front loader. I have been thinking about repowering it because the old Kohler on it is very tired.
looks great. thanks for sharing.
Yes I have same issue with my twin LV6548 in 120/240 v running 18 months . Yes, Led lights flicker with a higher load draw like a coffee maker or simular loads. I just bought a new NKH low frequency inverter 10 kw to change over soon. I monitor with solar assistant, no internet connection. Biggest LV6548 complaint is 250 v maximum PV volt input. These were good units at the time but equipment has changed for the better over the years. Thanks for sharing your setup.
i agree can only do 4s.. with most typs of panels.. if i was to add a 5th panel on the string in the winter voltage is too close to 250.... we get very cold temps which can increase voltage ive seen it sctually happen.. ive heard you can try using some kind of inline voltage limiter.. but more complex.. wonder if anyone has tried this..
These high frequency inverters are far too noisy and they don't offer any galvanic isolation for safety. They also offer a far poorer surge capacity and a shorter life expectancy than real inverters that use longer lasting, higher surge, low frequency, transformer based inverters.
what's the power factor on your fridge and freezer? if they've got a restive start, resistive run compressor, they usually have only .5 to .6, which is likely going to stress out the inverter as it's seeing effectively twice the amperage draw from the reactive power being so many degrees behind the sinewave.
If there is a coupon on an item on Amazon after you place an order sometimes i have been able to place another order. Ir you could get someone else to place orders for you with you credit card if you trust them a lot.
The fridge and freezer on the same leg, right? Do you have a bad, loose ground?
Different circuits in the panel box. The inverter is 120 volt not split phase. I am sure there is not a ground problem. I think it is from the motor harmonics feeding back to the inverter ( just a guess ).
nice project! if its still running how much kWh it makes per month? and do u use/store that energy somewhere?
Never put it in for any length of time. Still needs some improvements.
Looks great, that is a big improvement. I'm going to PU my new mini digger next week as well.
Appreciate the review. Going to buy one of these and was curios about it.
awesome work
I love the rivet trick
Would a solor panel to the top of the canopy be beneficial? Possibly used as a battery charger or to run another fan?
Maybe. But there is a lot of vibration plus your not always working in the sun. Mine always seems to find something to run into. limbs etc.
Wow that was easy! Are you going to fix it and flip it? seems a bit new fir your collection lol
Not sure it has no electronics so should be dependable and repairable if need.
Nice! I really hope to make it back out there again at some point across the next couple years! Also love the little Nelson?? engine you brought! I want to find one like that some day!
You know I made a wing turbine were one of those hover board motors for 12 V system and I seen that thing pulled out 16 to 20 amps
Thanks for filming. Looks fun.
Unfortunately never been there looks like a fun event to attend
If you get a chance to go don't pass it up. They are open other that the show also.
looks like a great event
Hello- I really enjoy your modifications. I was wondering if you had a issue with the blade lift height ? My dozer blade only lifts a few inches above the ground, limiting my travel, especially climbing up ramps. I thought your engineering brain may have a idea to allow the blade to raise higher. Maybe cut and raise the blade brackets? Thanks AJ from North California.
How much power can you get off a wheel?
Looks like you could reverse the connectors and have 4 positions of the lifting points
Good videos. Did that much counter weight make much of a difference? I need to add some counter weight to mine. Curious about how much weight it needs. Thanks for the ideas.
It helped but I also add a removable weight to the receiver I added. The hydraulics are very strong on these for there size and can get you in trouble if not careful.
I have an old 2 stroke lauson I need some help wit setting the point or if n where can I get a new coil or parts
Never had a 2 stroke lauson so can't help. There is a good lauson information web site that may help if you can find it. Ebay may be a parts source.
@@kevincrawford2027 thanks for gettin bk me I totally appreciate it . 😎👍
Nice Job!
Want to double your money? ha ha ha,great buy! If I remember (Gray matter is 80 years old ) right alternator is way underrated .Keep on Keeping on. Steve AKA Delco 32volt
I have two of these old things also. I am really anxious to see how you get this thing running.Mine do not have electric start. You have a really great model.
Do you have a channel on a different platform then YT?
Very cool!
I've quickly learned that the limiting factor is the speed of the ex, so I try to get my tractor as close to the action as possible to minimize the travel time expected of the ex. They sure are handy where you can fit them and their power to size ratio is somewhat frightening.
Htrc coolers always work as a jet turbine 🤦♂️ Damn, their chargers are not bad, I would use them, but it is impossible to use them inside the house with lifepo4. The sound is awfull. They suite only in garage.
