    Something I've been using to weld cracks on my citicar body is a soldering iron with a wide flat tip borrowed from my wood burning kit. I also suggest when possible putting some JB weld on the interior of the body where you fix the cracks from the exterior. Like you mentioned, it's pretty this plastic and most of these cracks are from structural strain so they could pop right back up if you drive it often. Keep it up! I really need to get back to rewiring mine lol

    • @CarDoItYourself

      Good advice on the JB weld, I’ve also started using abs cement and a thinner cement that’s closer to the viscosity of water to penetrate cracks.

    I did a video on this subject and found that the WIFCO converter does a poor job of charging my lithium ion batteries. I put the jumper cable to cause the 8955AD converter for lithium battery parameters. I just did one week boon docking. The WIFCO 8955AD never reached near 14.5-.6 volts to properly charge my batteries. I only got 13.6 volts out of converter. This resulted my batteries reaching a 13.2 volt settled charge. This is only a 50% LiTime charge capacity. Go Victron. My WIFCO upgrade was $200 wasted.

    I’m considering putting a LifePo4 into my ‘82 Yamaha. Even if you don’t, I offer two suggestions: 1) install a battery disconnect. You’ll get into the habit of using it after you get done riding. The one I’m installing in my friends bike is a on right off the positive terminal. 2) install a battery maintainer into the bike itself. I have one on my Yamaha so all I have to do is plug in the bike when I get home.

Our government has rolled out this fantastic system just drive through Toll Plaza and the amount gets debited from our bank accounts. I know I’m rambling on but even after this fantastic system, that government has made out , some random guy made one mistake using my registration card number, registered his name on my car, obviously, it was a mistake After two months of growing follow-ups with the company, they finally cancelled both his and my FASTag Now I am left with a horrible sticker, stubborn one, which just wouldn’t come out with anything until I saw this video Broke my back in my tiny little Volkswagen Polo, and got that sucker out with a blade and some glass cleaner I feel satisfied now, thank you

    It's not an inverter but a converter. Inverter transforms DC to AC. Converter transforms AC to DC. The converter charges the batteries. The inverter draws power from the batteries. That been said, the video is informative and to the point.
