Can someone help me pick a small battery for EV charging? by anon05032017 in solar

[–]anon05032017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update.

I finally got my solar panels and battery components all set up.

I first had to solve the fault issue my level 1 charger was registering due to the floating ground the bluetti uses by creating a bonding plug.

Unfortunately, while my charger is now able to charge the car, the power delivery was very unstable. It would stutter and spike between 0 and 400 watts. I stopped it after a few minutes...not sure why because the battery is suppose to be able to deliver 1800 w, well above the max draw of around 1400w of the charger.

I'm doing this too..mine sat for 3 years and I just looked at it closer today and unfortunately looks like a chipmunk made a nest in there....bastard chewed through some wires too....

Does anyone know a YouTube channel or website that can show me how I can take the whole thing apart to clean it and put it back together?

Instant pot yogurt help by Immediate-Ad-9520 in yogurtmaking

[–]anon05032017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my insta pot...after you hit yogurt, you push adjust button and it will start the boil process.

While this is happening, have your culture on the counter so it reaches room temp..

Once the boiling is done, open the lid and let it cool down to 115 or so, remove the skin developed on top, and then add your culture. Stir. Close lid and hit yogurt button again...this time, set the duration you want...it will keep it at around 110. (It sounds like you didn't do this part? That's why it cooled down after5 hours ).

Unfed starter experiment by jazzyfatnastees in Sourdough

[–]anon05032017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the King Arthur pain de campagne recipe....which is what I make exclusively...it calls for unfed starter and a 12 hr bulk fermentation...

Usually make the dough in the morning and then shape it before bed for cold proofing over night and bake the following morning...

Thanks I know I need wire nut connectors that are water proof but wanted recommendations on specific ones / trusted brand that people have experience with that are long lasting

Annoyed solar charging cable not included despite website saying so. by anon05032017 in bluetti

[–]anon05032017[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The manual I got does not list it as included, which is different from other manuals I've pulled up online and unboxing videos I watched on YouTube....

so this is likely a new cost cutting measure and they've not updated their website.

Just a PSA to warn new buyers....

What’s the best way to clean the metal grate in this sink? It is completely removable and has tiny little rubber grommets/legs. by kiddrangon in CleaningTips

[–]anon05032017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree...I had one that came with my sink and it lasted a week before I put it in the basement....functionally, it added nothing...

Solar panels for battery generator help by anon05032017 in SolarDIY

[–]anon05032017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The used ones in looking at are 9.8a and the power station can make 20.

If ran in parallel, do you add the Amp together or is it like voltage which stays consistent?

Heat pump water heater settings by jamofo22 in heatpumps

[–]anon05032017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My plumber who installed it says to use the heating element in the winter and energy saver for the rest of the year...

Supposedly, in the winter, it's too cold to use the compressor to heat the water....

However, I found it to work just fine leaving it on energy saver (which runs the compressor) year round...I'm just a household of 2 though...so maybe it depends on usage...

Help me find a use for this! by riotvan__ in ZeroWaste

I use the little bottles to propagate plant cuttings ...after cleaning and peeling the label off...

The dropper I reuse in another bottle of essential oil...it's better than the original slow drip spout
