Re: Investing in Li Batteries
Alabama and most of the Southern States have been slammed several times by storms this summer. People have been moving away so sure they need people to move down and work. ZeroEm. Total USA has major storms. First requirement, choice of terrain. Second requirement, storm cellar, or equivalent. Son ...

Re: Investing in Li Batteries
Cheaper to live. Cheaper taxes. Plenty of work for those that WANT to. Everyone he has talked to in Alabama, nearly begging him to move and do all their upgrades to housing ,, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Minimum building restrictions Very little debt after selling out in Fl. Peace and quiet. Plenty of...

Re: Investing in Li Batteries
Real estate takes a chunk of money to invest in. I don't have that much, unless I sell what I have. If I do that, where would I live ? Son wants to buy in Alabama and live a simple lifestyle, self sufficient as possible. I'm too old to start over !

Re: Investing in Li Batteries
ZeroEm, I would be interested in what you find, IF you do "poke around". I'm not very computer literate and am up to my eyeballs with projects.
Thank you for any new information.

Re: Investing in Li Batteries
All good input in this last part of the thread. Agree with the possible new USA administration comments. I feel the Lithium market will fade out. There are many new materials being investigated. Nickle is the biggest component, so, that is what I was looking into. As far as looking into other countr...

Re: Investing in Li Batteries
Thanks for the input. 1 company is mining Canada and they are extending their area. Another is a neighboring area to a working mine. These 2 are hopefully able to make things work out. The other 2 are new prospects and I am in for a pittance. With the advancement in EV's, the Nickle has to come from...

Re: Investing in Li Batteries
Thread seems to have fallen off a cliff, so, lets see if anyone is interested ? Have not seen any real mention of investing in Nickle. Seeing as how 80+ % of EV battery cells are composed of Nickle and E. Musk has opened the door to massive battery manufacturing, I have put a pittance of my income (...

Re: Buick Lacrosse 2012 e-assist moto-alternator
I asked Lebowski, over a year ago, if there were any plans to do the code, and he responded that he just did not have the time to do it. I believe that there is more interest in these alternators now, so, maybe someone that understands code writing could check out if it could be done. I would even d...

Re: Buick Lacrosse 2012 e-assist moto-alternator
The voltage is not as important as the amps. Voltage works on RPM range. I want to do 144V or more on mine, but it takes 600 Amps or more to get real performance from the alternator you have. e-vector spells this out in his posts. It will take a Johannes Huebner brain, coupled to an automotive inver...

Re: Project: Replace 18650 cells in laptop battery (w/pictures)
I did the battery cell swap on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and it won't do anything now. Just shows no battery detected.
My Sony Vaio shows no battery detected but runs fine off the charger connection. Battery is there just pitifully low voltage. Laptop is used as desktop only.

Re: Using BadBoy charger for 30S battery
Maybe I should say why I am/was interested in this charging system. Many years ago, I bought a belt drive 4KW ?120/240 volt AC alternator and attached it to a 10 to 1 gearbox that was attached to a 15 foot diameter propeller that I carved and placed this on a 60' tower that I built. I ran 2 hot legs...

Re: Using BadBoy charger for 30S battery
Segment the pack and charge each segment through an isolated AC/DC supply. This idea I have used for my 83V (74V nom.) , but it creates some manipulation to reach a very close balance voltage among segments. The Chevy Volt battery carries a nearly perfect balance of it's own, (.01-.015) usually. I ...

I've been interested in those modules. It's just difficult to get them from the Bus stop up to the house. Would be great if you delivered.

How can you not understand what I wrote ? I specifically said the log area is close to within 80-100 feet of the house and I have possibly 2 runs of 12G solid romex wire to charge the battery. I have said, twice that the AC voltage would be 117 from the house/grid. Obviously, a max of 20 Amp supply ...

OK. Lets see if I can lay out in detail my thoughts and viewer input requirements. I am nearly finished building a portable band type sawmill. Logs will be softer type wood and only up to 15" diameter at breast height. Logs are from 7' to 15' long. Our previously built sawmill had a 24HP gasoli...

Re: How do I step voltage down with low losses, weight and size?
How about we take this bad boy charging to another direction. I have a 120V 30S 4.1v/cell, Chevy Volt battery that I want to use to drive my sawmill that is nearly ready to use. According to what I think I read in this thread, rectifying AC voltage results in a 33% increase of voltage to obtain DC. ...
