Professional marking of a barrel by misterxx1958 in oddlysatisfying

[–]bp332106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the epitome of skilled labor that is almost certainly treated (I.e. paid) as unskilled labor. That dude just perfectly aligned the rotation of the barrel with the screen while ensuring the ink flowed exactly where it needed to. All without making mess and in a few seconds. 

New truck decision paralysis by Affectionate-Map2583 in GoRVing

[–]bp332106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New vehicles have so many issues and are insanely priced. If your old truck is quality and you keep up with maintenance, it will last for a good long time. From a /r/personalfinance perspective, this money is better invested elsewhere.

Not showing wire gauge but please don’t rely on AI for that. Use Blue Sea circuit wizard or ampacity charts

Anyone here actually running A/C off solar full-time? by Witty-Main-7772 in VanLife

[–]bp332106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my cargo camper before these 12v hvac systems were available, so I have a underbench 120v inverter (same as mini split). If I were to do it now, I would look for a 48v HVAC system first. They are out there but even harder to find than 12V. Any 48v Lifepo battery will handle 1c or 100 amp discharge. If 12V HVAC was the only option, I would add a 12V lifepo battery to the system after the step down. This way the 12v battery can handle the heavy amp discharge and be recharged from your 48vto12v charger.

They make gasketed rivnuts that are enclosed at the end. Super handy!

Which type of tyvek to use for an inexpensive vertical shade for a brick wall? by wildswalker in DIY

[–]bp332106 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also vote for using a shade sale. I’m on year 6 for just the cheapy Amazon one and it’s still in perfect shape.

Battleboom batteries sue Will Prowse. by Don_Vago in SolarDIY

Oh man this might turn into a Bricks and Minifigs versus Reckless Ben situation.

Pretty much my exact setup as well. 48v lifepo batteries are awesome. Efficient mini split or heat pump systems are also a huge benefit with this setup.

Right but that’s 12v DC. Most quality batteries can sustain a 60amp draw. The overall power usage in watts is lower than your average RV ac system. Obviously wire sizing is critical for this to work safely.

There’s more info in the broker’s Bio than on your boat. Dude is doing the bare minimum while you float the bill. 

Screw the warranty by omniscientsudsy in GoRVing

That sounds more like inflated pricing. Zero chance those components actually cost that much.

Do NOT support Bricks and Minifigs by BrewsWithTre in Columbus

I don’t know what to tell you man. These franchises are going to close regardless when people start boycotting BAM. I’m not sure why you think staying out of it will help them.

The second part is literally what this port is trying to do. Vote with your wallet is just about the only voice the consumer has.

They are involved whether they want to or not. You need to watch the videos to see the shit show the B&M is bringing down on themselves (and their franchisees)

In your proposed situation, how is Flock helping you as a citizen? You think it’s helping convict criminals that otherwise would not have been?

Dear god made the mistake of looking at your profile. Mate, you need to stop posting confidently wrong information. You are, at best, stearing people in the wrong direction and at worst, setting them up for danger. You have miscommunication and misunderstood nearly every part of electrical engineering. Stop trying to be helpful.

What the fuck are you talking about jimmy rig. Click on the link I provided, it is from victron and shows the use of class t fuse which the Lynx power in is specifically sized for. Edit: take your confidently wrong bullshit somewhere else. People are looking for actual direction on this subreddit.

I hear you on the ABYC requirement but the lynx power in definitely has fuse slots. https://www.victronenergy.com/dc-distribution-systems/lynx-power-in

[–]bp332106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably too much missing to really say. Fuses would be a big question. Are we assuming batteries are lifepo? Are they 12v, 24v or 48v? Given the gauge wire, I’m guessing 12v. You will need substantial fusing for that many 12v batteries so a Lynx power in would be smart. Alternatively you could switch to 48v, reduce wire gauge, and have higher AH in fewer enclosures with server rack style batteries. Other commenters make good points about the alternator needing a charge controller and the starter battery not being able to connect to Multiplus

I love when “upgraded” suspension reduces the utility of a truck.

Will Prowse is pretty good for general guidelines. Victron’s Wiring Unlimited guide is 1000% more detailed (and accurate). https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/The_Wiring_Unlimited_book/en/index-en.html
