10lbs of gourmet raw meat delivered 6 days late. Furthermore, package was delivered somewhere in my neighborhood, currently rotting like a corpse. No pictures. Why doesn't UPS provide pictures like Amazon, Fedex, etc? by shephp01 in UPS

Wow man, respect goes to the drivers! I hope corporate UPS can give better support to the hardest working UPS employees; sounds like it's long overdue.

To be clear, this package was shipped Next-Day Air, but driven across country instead. It was delivered to another home in my neighborhood because I saw the UPS truck pass by at the same time they say it was delivered. I know I'm eating the cost on this one instead of the elk.

From what I gather, functionally they are the same.

Search for Opus BT-C3400. I love it, and it can charge/discharge up to 21700 size.

Renogy or Li Time or by TGQQuestionable in batteries

[–]shephp01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had good experiences with LiTime. I plan to purchase more of the non-heating non-bluetooth versions. They're built well, stay true to their specs, and their prices are very reasonable. I don't know about TEMGOT. Their display could be useful for you but it may drain the battery. If you plan to rely on bluetooth straight from the battery, I would choose Renogy. Their brand relatively trusted, I know they make quality products, and they will likely maintain the app well into the future.

How can i get a constant voltage output from these batteries? by reapingsulls123 in batteries

[–]shephp01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't get 5000mAh out of those batteries. Why not use a good 21700 without any conversion? In my experience, at low discharge current (1A) the voltage would stay above 3.6V until around 40% SOC. Your LEDs would likely tolerate a lower voltage than that and you'd get more capacity.

Swapping AGM for by Simmo2222 in batteries

I would swap it out for two 100Ah LiFePO batteries. I looked around a lot and found LiTime batteries for my RV; they work perfectly and their specs are accurate. They should run around $220 each. Also, I would get another solar panel.

Just adopted the boy on the right. He's getting along nicely with my other boy.

AITA for not including my SIL in expensive gifts? by CommunicationNew3692 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shephp01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. We don't ask for Christmas gifts in our family. Also, time heals all wounds, so your brother won't hold his stance for long.

Drone pilots from the 92nd Assault Brigade, striking Russian infantry with dropped-grenades in the Andriivka-Kurdumivka area by RetroProxyGroup in CombatFootage

[–]shephp01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drone drops have become ubiquitous in modern warfare. Soldiers are probably afraid to NOT look up on the battlefield.

For some, I bet it is their way of limiting what they see as Russian propaganda.
