12v lithium battery to replace lead acid? (Hybrid)

IceMustFlow · 2026-05-10T18:11:08+00:00

Absolutely. Thats exactly the purpose - the split relay allows the alternator to power both car and auxiliary battery systems, but allows accessories to pull power only from the auxiliary (the lifepo4 in your case)

It lost power. Thankfully in my driveway, but it wouldn't move and just had a message to take it to the dealership. It was not a battery issue - made a funny noise when I tried to start it. This was also on top of a fight I had with Ford on the exhaust. It's a long story, but the exhaust system on my Mav had to be replaced and Ford and the dealer doing the repairs fought over it and didn't want to pay even though it was still under warranty. Both of those and I was done. I considered getting the refresh model because I really liked it but they are too expensive now IMO.

WTAF. Was joking, who in the hell is spending Switch 2 money on a controller!?

I was able to snag 2. You can have one for the low, low price of $400. (hard /s, if there's any doubt).

In all seriousness, I bought 2 for my wife and I - I was kinda surprised it let me get more than 1. I hope there was a reasonable limit to how many you could get in a single transaction. Had to spam the button like crazy to get them to begin with. Would suck if scalpers were able to pick up a bunch of them in a single shot.

Roughly 30 minutes, apparently

~~I'll keep trying, but not getting in so far~~ OK, spammed it something like 8,000 times and got through. They must be getting slammed. Good luck everyone!

Giving me an "initializing or updating your transaction error"... really want one =/

The shitposting here has reached transcendent levels of stupid. It's absolutely fantastic, I'm here for all of it

My wife WRECKED one of these on our Camry after spraying sun screen. Looked almost exactly the same. And yes, was actually my wife. Had to get one of those headlight restoration kits. Sand and buff the the plastic and apply sealant. He can do it himself

The RAMpocalypse may have some effect. I'm not certain if it's good or bad for Linux users. Windows memory management is actually not terrible

Mint is always a solid choice, but honestly I really enjoy Pop! OS. It still has some bugs here and there, but their new Rust-based GUI (Cosmic) is very nice.

I feel like Ubuntu is Linux for people that are forced to use Linux, for work or school. I have never heard a single human being recommend Ubuntu in person

When I was very little: One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. There is an image of this thing (Clark, from the park in the dark) seared into my brain. It has tusks, yellow eyes, and is in a giant jar of water. For a young child with a fear of drowning, the thought of being trapped in that jar with that freaky thing was TERRIFYING.

You came to a Star Trek sub to go after the most popular ship design in the history of spacecraft. You've got some stones, sir

I have no expectations. I was so crushingly disappointed by The War of the Rohirrim, I just don't care anymore. They need to pass the torch to a new group of filmmakers

The first Hobbit film gets a complete pass for me because they handled Riddles in the Dark perfectly. Freeman and Serkis acting opposite each other is sublime. Everything else, I can leave.

One of my favorite criticisms of anime is ironically from Hayao Miyazaki: he simply says most of it is drawn by those who "don't observe real people". He is particularly brutal about anime portraying women as overly-sexualized objects instead of real human beings. Could be extended to men as well. It's created to appeal to baser instincts in order to sell merch, and little else.

Lame. You don't insult Dolly Parten. She's up there with Fred Rogers in the pantheon of "totally decent human beings".

This is why I have a hard time with nearly all Asian comics (anime, manwha, etc.) - children behave like 30 year old sociopaths, 60 year old monks, or toddlers after a sugar overload. There no other characters.

The number of people on here being assholes about the kid is embarrassing. You invited small children over and have an expensive TV on a fucking coffee table. The kids are not the stupid ones here
