I find ALL of your content really interesting as do 9000 others. Please keep plugging away and you`ll soon be at 100k. Merry Christmas to you and your better half Andy.
Thanks Andyans all have a wonderful crimbo .ideal solution on keeping warm
Thanks Kevin!, same to you.
Interesting this battery charging stuff lots to learn with new technology coming along. Have a great Christmas to you and Sarah all the best for the new year. Looking forward to what next year will bring along to your channel keep up the good work.
Merry Christmas David👍
Thanks Andy. Always enjoy your episodes.
I bought a $32 400watt inverter & $12 space heater from Wal-Mart (240watts) since the outlet in my Hybrid Pacifica is rated for 150watts (it powers the heater for about 3mins, then it must be unplugged to reset outlet). The inverter is perfect for EVs. Instant heat to warm your face & hands without draining the EV 🔋 & losing an already limited range of 33miles. I can easily remove this set-up during the warmer seasons but it will work for years to come. Too bad I just thought to do so in Feb instead of Oct when I purchased the Hybrid (learning experience). Small heater in addition to heated seats & steering wheel has extended my range. I never touch the vehicle heat unless I need to briefly defrost the windows on rainy days.
For drivers of EV's the market place is screaming out for these - I need one now!
Keep up the good work.
Merry Christmas !
The range extender is a great idea, portable, solar chargeable and helps keep main batteries in mid range. Far too complex like u said to hack into the car system.
Fuse blew along with something else. Probably to high of resistance so voltage if battery drops too low and the device shuts off
Any updates on this. I could use one of these, without the battery. i would connect this to a distribution panel off my RV house battery, or a battery pack (like an independent solar "generator). Using a power pack like an old jackery, and run the jackery out of juice and not run on my RV battery. The other option that would be great is a timer, set for an hour or 2 or 4. Can you separate the battery? Thanks!
I have a 4S 4P battery with the same bms on my bike for the front light. The front light is an XM-L T6 LED Bicycle Bike Headlight so it can't handle the typical 8.4v battery with 8x 18650's. Having the higher voltage has made it much more brighter than it was with the 8.4v battery & instead of the runtime being 30mins it now lasts for hours. Anyway merry christmas.
Good idea 👍 raising the voltage is the best way to get more energy. I bet it’s bright 😁. Have a good Christmas.
Yeah it's very bright, these Chinese lights state 60,000 Lumens but who knows for sure really, if each led were pushing out 1,100 lumens then it might be 17,600 real world lumens.
I got some Chinese lights of e bay 10w 1600 lumens they were cheap so i'm more than happy with the light they put out 7-30v. They don't get any brighter with a higher voltage they just reduce the current they draw. Does that make sense. 0.5amp 12v. Drops to 0.25amp 24v per lamp
Hi Andy I subscribed to you some time ago. With the recent energy crisis I'd like to use a drone lipo battery and the other smaller cheaper heater. They bumped up those original modules on Amazon to £50+!!
On ebay I can get the second fan for about £10 or so.. so can I just hook up a lipo drone battery and which kind would I need? Would I also need a low voltage cut off for the lipo so it doesn't catch on fire or something?... the drill battery and adapter is good but the battery is now over £50+ as well. Any help you can give you be appreciated buddy. Keep up the good content!
for about $80 you can get an arduino mega with a 4 line lcd in a kit which could be useful for monitoring the bms voltages
Good idea, I think Vortecks originally set out to do something like this on one of his early bike builds.
Merry Christmas Andy :)
Great vid Andy merry christmas
Now the last piece of the puzzle is to find way to charge it in the car...Merry xmas mate!
great video as usual. have a great christmas
Cheers! Have a good Christmas!
Hi Andy, I don’t suppose I caught it, but how many minutes or hours total did the heater run before dropping out?
It runs for almost an hour. Like 50-55 mins or something.
Merry Christmas from Australia andy
Merry Christmas to you also!
Dont electric cars have heating at all ?
merry christmas andy.
Have you ever thought about building new bike and merry Xmas
Have you just got home after flying your drone over the airport for the last 18 hours? :-)
:-)
I hope you both have a good one mate 😁
Thanks mate, same to you and yours 😁 all the best.
You been flying your drone near Gatwick andy 😀
Haha! No🤭, I saw the pictures in the newspapers today and it was a bit of a beast that drone.
Great video
Thanks Mark👍
@@andykirby I camp alot , so is this device viable for a Chevy van ?
Chevy Venture
Yeah I would say so. Any small space that is pretty airtight it will work well in. Keeping it in close proximity to yourself and you’ll get warm very quickly.
Hey, I Know this is an older video but here’s an idea that might interest you. Connecting the BMS to a contactor/solenoid and having the BMS power it to make the connection from your battery to the load without worrying about over amping the BMS. You just need to make sure it stays below the cells maximum output rating. ua-cam.com/video/J2KH21Fwi9o/v-deo.html
That's some powerful little battery. Around half a car battery effectively. But you can drain it 80% vs car battery 50% is under 12v
Yeah lot of energy in there and you can carry it about easily. Not much heavier than a handheld power tool. Also way higher charging efficiency than lead acid.
@@andykirby lead acid is cheap and good for starting engines not much else
just get an old p4 laptop off ebay them things could almost drive a steam engine
the fuse almost failed the massive increase in resistance =heat =melt had that happen with ebikes etc doing more ebike stuff in summer as burnt a mxus 5k motor might go qs motor next
Andy If i stick a BMS On the wife will it stop the imbalance caused by end of month low voltage supply..lol...Happy Christmas mate.🇬🇧🇬🇧❤❤💟
Ear defenders are a good BMS for that sort of imbalance
Oh yeh .. some women need a good shock to bring em back to reality 😂😂😂
I can NOT believe he literally said: "BATT treez"
"bat ER reez"
3 syllables
It's funny you pick up on this. It seems I do drop the "er" in lots of words, must be the dialect of where I come from or just slang!
@@andykirby
Batteries need advancement cause of sloppy design waste energy plus cant drain batteries more than 50% bit pathetic deffo when you see the price of 18650s or 26650 they raping the cash 😂😂
