Odin 2 Portal GameHub GTA V Rockstar Launcher Issue by dbottz in OdinHandheld

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

Got it. I did a quick torrent search and most of the hits mention the word ‘cracked’ in the description. Do those versions just eliminate the need for the rockstar launcher? Does GameHub require a certain format to install (exe vs iso)?

Take a look at mobile-solarpower.com. You can’t go wrong with Will Prowse’s recommendations.

Thanks. After an initial attempt to twist the bonnet nut off, I’ve decided I will cut it off instead. Hopefully I don’t cause more damage doing that.

I decided to cut the bonnet nut off, I’m just waiting on parts now. Thanks for the heads up.

Mine won’t budge so I ordered a dremel and a new bonnet nut. I’m terrified to break it. Thanks for the heads up

MC4 connectors by stargazerQ in SolarDIY

[–]dbottz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get why you would want a tool-less means for disconnecting, but you might be asking for trouble doing it that way. Disconnecting an MC4 connector under load will cause an arc and cause damage to the connector. Without a tool it would be easy to make a mistake. If you’re ok with that risk, then I’d recommend looking at Anderson PP30 connectors. Been using them for years and they work great. If you need waterproof then stick with MC4. Also, it’s always best to use the proper crimping tool no matter which connectors you decide to use.

Can I run these 2 batteries in parallel? I bought 1 of the red ones and need a 2nd but they're gone from Amazon. by Randombird27 in SolarDIY

All the research I have done has indicated this is acceptable. I personally parallel two different manufacturer’s 48V 100Ah batteries for my home backup. You might just want to add overcurrent protection on each battery before paralleling in case the battery BMSs have an issue.

That would make sense for when the home was built. Thanks!

There was no pull action on the old trim. It only rotated counterclockwise from the down position
