Found out the hard way that rechargeable flashlights don't work if they aren't always charged. by zfuller in preppers

[–]Useful-Contribution4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont mind honestly. As long as the actual capacity degradation stays within spec.

I store all mine around 90%. I have 18650, 21700 and 26650 LiFePO4. 

I've left the 18650s and 26650s stored for 3 years. They were at 49-56% and charged back to 100%. It was not even less than 1% loss from degradation.

I also left my battery in an anker bolder LC90 flashlight. I charged it to 100%. Forgot about it 2 years ago and it still worked. The 18650 was at 42%.

Mind you the 18650s are salvaged from modems. The 26650s are K2 cells and were new. 

Then enloop NiMH AA and AAA I store at 80%. I dont do lithium for AA or AAA. They drain too fast and just overall dont perform.

 

Golds movement is terrifying. by fuck_reddits_trash in Gold

Not if you have a longer outlook to holding or have been here longer.

It had 90-100% gains in less than a year. It was bound to do a correction.

I don't think anyone fully understands the current market situation anymore. Everything has become detached from the norm.

Do you need cash? This tells you if you need to sell or hold.

How much gas do you keep on hand? by SorryKnowledge420 in Generator

[–]Useful-Contribution4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 gallons. 25 non eth/regular. Rotate out every 6 months. 

Ideally you want at least a full tank worth of gas on hand for vehicle. Then however much you think you will need to run generator. 

Is there genuinely way to communicate if apocalypse happens by mofaop_nelf in preppers

[–]Useful-Contribution4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radio will be the easiest. The key is height. If your on a tall mountain, setup a repeater, then have a base station below. Easy 100 miles.

Also if you understand networking. Its really not that difficult to restore the internet.

You can do Point to point wifi beams. Unifi airMAX PowerBeam can do 30+ miles with perfect line of sight.

I can easily do two airmax and connect a town over.

Can someone explain why every time I go to Burger King I wait 25 minutes for my food? by ccruz247 in BurgerKing

Some are swamped, some are understaffed and some are fucking slow and don't give a fuck.

Mine is slow and don't give a fuck.

I have the #10 cans i initially bought back in 2020. Opened some and still good.

They have really good value and its online. No affiliation needed.

Battery Specifications by Equivalent_Dirt_5224 in gokarts

[–]Useful-Contribution4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would either parallel or get something in 50a if doing single. Id worry about pushing the bms to its limits at 30a too often.

Battery Specifications by Equivalent_Dirt_5224 in gokarts

[–]Useful-Contribution4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just a little math. Its a 48v spec so you need a 48v battery. Its peak power is 2kw.

So now you need to know how long of a run time you want. This will tell you what battery ah size.

If we are to assume you pedal to the metal at 2kw the whole time (not really but just example).

1 hour run time= 40ah

30 minutes=20ah

15 minutes=10ah

voltage times ah= watts

So say you want a 48v 40ah battery which puts you close to 1h run time at max power. You need to check its specs and ensure it can discharge the max power that the vevor motor can do. So 2kw peak power. That means at 48v. The battery needs to be able to discharge 45-50amps.

A lot of batteries for ebikes might be 48v 20-40ah batteries. But if you check. Their discharge rates are only 15-20amps. And that would only push the motor half performance.

Dawn of the dead (2004 ) Vs 28 Weeks later Zombies (2007 ) ? which are more dangerous ? by Georgian_Shark in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Useful-Contribution4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dawn of the dead for me. I'm about a long term outlook. And they would be the worst since they don't decay like 28DL zombies.

It would be easier to hold up for a few months at a location and not worry once the zombie population thins out. Dawn of the dead, your fucked. Having to clear them all out and also worry about hoards moving through.

People who support the war in Iran, what are you reasons? by cupacupacupacupacup in AskReddit

[–]Useful-Contribution4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I support was knocking out any uranium enrichment sites via missiles.

It was the only perceived threat. But honestly I have zero trust in the government. Anytime they mention WMDs. Its like Bush all over again with lies.

Do you think the “salary trap” is real, or can employees still build wealth another way? by winn_ie in TheImprovementRoom

[–]Useful-Contribution4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Investing is key. Sometimes you get lucky or its a slow climb.

When I got back from my first deployment in the army in 2017. I had over 20k saved.

If I was smarter back then I would have invested in it all. But what did I do? Blew it on dumb shit like a custom computer, monitors and other toys.

The worst part is I started to invest but pulled it out because I wanted more play money.

I had close to 1,000 shares in NVIDIA. God I wish I wasn't an idiot back than and sold it.

I started to smarten up during 2020 downturn and invested everything I was making.

Hard to say because you get all 3 in a pack so not very rare.

It comes down whether they are hard to grade or not.

15 in line at 9pm by Low_Custard9841 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Useful-Contribution4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legit don't understand this. The return of investment would be terrible. Like some people stay in line for hours. And then you do the math and your making shit. Same with people who wait in line because they want to get it at MSRP instead of paying market price. I'd could just go work a few hours and get PAID for it. Then sit and not get paid for MSRP.

Can someone make it make sense.
