I built a pack out of similar cells. They're not identical, so I can't speak to the quality of the ones you've linked, but the ones I got are pretty much just as described and seem to be able to handle a decently high discharge rate. I built a large battery and it's doing well. In hindsight...

Good fix, and quick work! I really like the new look. It's growing on me. I big blue bars on each side are going to continue to be annoying, however. Ah well, it's not like I actually _need_ endless sphere to be the full width of my monitor. If you ever need any volunteer help with such...

Strange. When I clicked on one of the links from another thread to come here, it didn't have the problem (still shows me logged in), but when I click the links from amberwolf, it's as if I had logged out. Refreshing didn't make the problem go away.

When I click on one of the above links, it takes me there with a "login" button on the screen instead of my user name. Still broken? The themes still need a little work, IMHO. I don't like the colors (or lack thereof) with milk, but all the other themes only use half my monitor width...

Is he "judgement proof"? (so poor you can't win any money in court no matter what he does) If not, keep your options open.

Yeah, but somebody should have their lawyer send him a nasty cease and desist letter. This doesn't seem to be a "good faith" use of some trademarked names. Gotta protect those trademarks or lose them.

Going after an individual's forum name seems less predatory and more pathetic. Why would he try to sell this:https://www.ebay.com/itm/amber-wolf-com-domain-name-for-sale-amberwolf-endless-sphere-moderator-cargo/182838312247?hash=item2a92033d37:g:tnQAAOSwLF1X3eV9 What can he hope to actually...

I have a pretty low opinion of people that poach other's names and grab the associated domain name. It's a somewhat questionable practice, to me. It seems especially problematic when it's a name that should be owned by somebody I've had dealings with. So it was a bit troubling when I saw the...

It's probably a combination of me doing something unusual, having too small a fuse, and the CA not doing what I expected. I don't have a good meter for measuring current, but the CA has always showed my battery usage fairly accurately (amp hours used seem to come close to battery capacity). I...

I've been working on my parameters for the new bike -- lately up and down throttle rates and AGain. Yesterday I had a problem where the throttle response didn't seem to start until I had maxed out the throttle. Once it started, it seemed to work over the whole range. Then, mysteriously, the...

It's very strange, but the problem seems to have gone away overnight! I didn't make any changes at all after my earlier update, but this morning there's no "dead throttle" problem. It responds from the very beginning. I'm going to continue to tweak the parameters to eliminate any remaining...

That's certainly a beautiful bike. Don't give up hope -- I had a bike stolen once and recovered it, so it is possible.

You have a source that would be affordable for 12x or 18x of these?

I don't think I agree with you. You're trying to reduce RDS to a single value when it varies with current and temperature. And in this case, those two ratings from the data sheets have different assumptions -- the IXYS part's max is given for 50A, the AOT for 20A. Looking at the plots of RDS...

I guess it has to be a TO-220? I only see some of their better ones in other packages.
