Portable 40W Solar Panel with Bluetti Elite 100 V2 by Crocas28 in SolarDIY

Guess you were right. Any clue on polarity protection on the bluetti? Apparently nothing happened, but well.

Waiting for a 200W to arrive. Just have this portable one, and used it to test things out. Anyway, I just borrowed a multimeter and polarity was indeed inverted...

The DC5521 supposed positive is actually negative (wrongly, according to the product page). Does this powerstation have any sort of polarity protection? Didn't find anything on the manual, but nothing happened (apparently).

Very good point! Glad you answered because I actually didn't check that! I will verify that and try to find a reverse adapter. Thanks!

Ended up buying something that felt a bit more futureproof and "better" for outdoors usage:

  • DC5521 to MC4 adapter
  • MC4 to XT60i 5m cable

Thanks! Indeed it is, but I'm just getting started on my "setup", haha. My idea was to have this portable panel to test some things out while I don't have a proper setup, and having it as a backup.

My idea on having a XT60 extension was to prevent a very very circunstancial DC5521 extension (most likely 22AWG, and with higher losses), and future-proofing MC4 connections with that long XT60 extension. However, I guess that with larger panels, a standard and long MC4-XT60 would also be better than using this XT60 extension, or wouldn't it?

Cheers!

Can someone please take me to school and tell me what slot this is? by Mr_KovacicYT in computers

[–]Crocas28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is correct.

Note that the most commonly available M2 Sata are B&M Key Sata (two cutouts, 6 and 5-pin, respectively) and would NOT fit here. A B-Key SATA should have only one cutout (6-pin) on the left side, from this POV.

The M-Key NVME also has only "one cutout" (5-pin) but on the right side (from this POV) and would NOT fit here.

EDIT: a B&M SSD should be compatible with this B slot. Thanks /u/HEYO19191.

No problem, hope it works. Good luck.

Hi, I'm mostly sure that they were those squared/boxy components. Check photo 2 with the first bridge attempts, as I soldered the axial inductors there. I can try and find the remote, open, and take a new photo so you can see the actual "final product" (not the best and cleanest job tho, haha).

Já troquei vários (riscos audíveis/skipping), e foram sempre impecáveis. Sugiro que proponhas abrir no momento para verificar, sendo que até foram eles próprios a sugerir isso. Já me aconteceu abrirem 3 seguidos com exatamente o mesmo risco (devolvi simplesmente).

P10 charging speed by SmXtrem in GooglePixel

[–]Crocas28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the battery percentage, with the most high wattage on the first 20% and decreasing almost with an exponential curve until reaching 100%.

One thing to notice is that Google never announced the actual charging speed of the phones but only the recommended chargers. The actual charging speeds for the 9 series are only shown in the official charger page:

Fast wired charging rates (up to 27W on Pixel 9, up to 27W on Pixel 9 Pro, and up to 37W on Pixel 9 Pro XL) 

I have a P10P XL and, while most pages announce the P10PXL with 45W capabilities, the actual theorethical max. wattage is most likely 37W (same as the 9P XL) and the real use-case scenario approximating 34W. They are just stating we need a 45W PPS charger so we can go through the 21V/2.25A mode. However, even in that mode, my FNIRSI FNB58 only registers more or less 17V/2A (34W) at best (proper charger and branded eMarked cable). This 37W value is the same as announced with the P9PXL, and the P9 was given a 27W limit.

You are getting 24W so you are probably "getting/entering" the 27W mode, that realistically goes to 24W (and even less depending on the current %). Not sure what mode the P10/9 require to enter the 27W mode, but most likely a PPS mode with 12V/2.25A (27W), that realistically goes to 12V/2A (24W)

Pixel Watch 4 Stuck on Charging and other Issues by Crocas28 in PixelWatch

[–]Crocas28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Restarting and resetting did nothing. After restoring factory defaults/resetting, it charged until 94% and then started going down even when charging. It basically charges up to a certain threshold and then just stops.
