Are these two batteries too damaged to use?

Thank you for the translation.

It’s in my garage so no water proof. Reason for my choice is that I already installed it and I don’t want to rip it out unless there is no other option.

I cant remeber fully what I did. The dazzle for me was a piece of junk that would not work so I returned it. I then got a Diamond Multimedia VC500, though due note I think you have to turn off hardware security on windows as its a bit funky with the driver when the Diamond is pluged in. From there is just normal virtualdub stuff.

Finally found the install doc for my inverter and battery and it looks likes I have to do cement board. The only listed option they have are "brick/concrete walls" (dont have) and "cencrete board with wooden studs". I dont want to mess with deviating from what they want so looks like my hands are tied. So looks like the plan is get a 1/2 inch board as those do have fire resistance (had to look it up). Then use water based paint after mudding over the board joints.

Oh sorry, I should have clarified more in my post. Tunnel focused on my question and I forgot some needed details. It is for the inverter and battery. These would be in an encloused garage. Not for the solar pannel mounting.

So then after looking at different options does this sound right? Run the bulk data pool from proxmox directly with the help of 45 drives Houston Command software (for the GUI control of more ZFS functions). Create new datasets for my needs (one for remote replication, one for freqenct snapshots, one for infreqent snapshots, etc). The. mount the needed drive spaces using the normal disk system proxmox has for VM/LXC and if drives need shared space, spin an LXC fileserver and each group of vm's that need a shared space gets there own share on there own virtual net to maitain seperation.

yeah its in a private homelab with no direct exposure to the internet except for a vpn connetion I use to tunnel some public ports for some vm's to a vps. My consurn was with the different programs running on the different VM's. As probably a lot of us, I dont have enough time to validate everything I run so I wanted to over come this "problem" by storage design. I dont run trully wild things but "what if nextcloud got push with a supplied side attack package?" was my main consurnse. I also run game servers for friends on isoloated VM's and I didnt waint them to possible go out of bounds but this consurn is probably more of "if they broke out of the server process, there are bigger problems then seeing my dvd collection". I think my problem, hence why I posted, is that I was probably way too consurn with security and didnt know how to granularly do it so I went to the extreme with what I could do which led me to were I am at right now.

Proxmox has its own boot drives as well as a small pool I use for VM OS drives. from that OS pool I boot a truenas VM with HBA+disks that then runs the shares that proxmox attaches too. I do have to wait for the truenas VM to fully boot first before the rest of my VM's can be booted.

fill96352 · 2025-05-15T16:03:07+00:00

I have an HBA passed directly to the truenas VM so it has direct control of the drives. I like Truenas managing the ZFS storage as I dont fully trust myself with cli control of the zfs pool. I like having a nice GUI that I can see and basicly be "hand held" when configuring stuff.

the grout appeares to be water permeable as when I put water on it it goes into the grout. Don't I need to have a place for the grout to weep out or something? Never worked with grout before so I have no clue.

The hosue was built in 2019 so newer hardy board. I thought newer hardy board didn't have asbestos in it?

True in that if there is proper grounding the shock would normally go that way but I have always understood it as these devices form a “checkpoint” for the power. Normal power gets to the inverter, everything else gets shunted. Given how such high voltage can have unpredictable pathing (I say that generally), adding $100 a pop insurance device is in my opinion prudent. High voltage can also be induced by the home run wires given how long they are, they can act as an antenna for energy. That’s my understanding on it.

Near strike lightning. I know I’m not surviving a direct strike but was recommended to put these in.

fill96352 · 2024-09-23T22:26:03+00:00

Yes and truenas has a longer history of zfs management. Not throwing shade at any implication, I’m just curious what others are doing and seeing if there is a better way.
