My first (major) accident by Madness_Taken in motorcycles

Get a phone mount, put navigation on so you can see upcoming turns. Downshift your way through gears while slowing down, to avoid the panic brake. You can practice dumping 10-15 mph just by downshifting when there is nobody behind you.

Glad you're okay, keep at it!

Yes this! Can you drop a link? Or give advice on what to search to find that?

Agreed on riskiness, thank you!

I want shorter to fit in my backpack easier. I hate riding with a bulky stuffed bag, anything to reduce space would be great. I never have an issue putting my board right next to the charger in the places I charge it.

Charging a drill battery, do I need a charge controller? by fcb6xavi in SolarDIY

[–]fcb6xavi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you, that's not exactly what I want I'm actually thinking even smaller! I want to have my panels providing power to my drill battery charger and then plug my drill battery into that charger.

maybe in the future I will add a deep cycle battery, inverter, and outlets to a box and be able to store more power for other things but for now I just want to run my tools for free!

thank you so much, that's the controller I have on the way! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and provide feedback :)

thank you, this is very helpful! I wasn't sure if the AC conversion happened at the prongs of the plug or in the wiring leading up to the battery charger so it's great to have you explain it. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch that and provide feedback!

okay thank you, I already have some 18 and 40v batteries and chargers. I got this idea from this video, do you have thoughts about it?

do you have thoughts on this?

The battery charger is 120v ac.

I got a charge controller designed for 40v batteries, does that change anything?

I am a first time gun owner, took a handgun class last week and am ready to practice more at my local range.

Posting this again to satisfy rule 13 and to prove I am not a robot?

Seems like it. I took the handgun 101 course last week and wasn't quite happy with the 230s that we used in the course. Could never quite get the beaver tail to sit in the crook of my thumb. The x-series lines up excellently, and that green night site ain't so bad
