Elcat Lithium Conversion EP5: Introducing TinCanBMS
Переглядів 6352 місяці тому
The TinCanBMS project hijacked the Elcat project, but it's finally underway! TinCanBMS is supposed to be a very simple and safety oriented drop-in BMS solution for Tesla battery modules. It uses the original measurement boards, so you can just plug and play the battery modules directly without needing to make any changes to them at all, or to worry about your cell tap wiring. In this video, we ...

Famous last words. This genset was fresh off of a truck and I had been told that "the 3-cylinder one has no compression", so I was completely unprepared for it to do anything at all. While it sounds violent, it didn't actually run away - it just started nicely and ran in a controlled manner off of the fuel left in the filters. I was able to engage the fuel cutoff and stop the engine after the v...
Elcat Lithium Conversion EP4: Battery heating & cooling
Переглядів 84411 місяців тому
It's important to have coolant circulation in these very dense battery modules in order to combat uneven internal heat distribution. Even though the Elcat won't have any kind of radiator to transfer heat out of the pack, the coolant circulation will ensure that all the cells wear evenly in the long term.

Elcat Lithium Conversion EP1: Battery Box
Переглядів 93411 місяців тому
One year in the making, the Elcat lithium conversion project is finally underway! The goal is to turn this very delapedated 1997 Elcat Cityvan 200 into something that's both nice and actually usable by modern EV standards. It'll also be the test bed for a rather exciting upcoming project ... This video only handles the mechanical box design, the more interesting electrical stuff comes later, so...

The Elcat is an obscure Finnish EV conversion based on a Subaru Sambar kei van! Made throughout the 90's and powered by lead-acid batteries, they were never very popular. Today, most of them are lost to time, but I managed to snag up a completely original one.

Tesla Model S except it's a WOODEN TEST JIG!
Переглядів 1,5 тис.Рік тому
In 2015, a local company wanted to build a Tesla-powered yacht. They bought two crashed Model S vehicles, and this wooden test jig (Codename Lådbilen) is one of those. Someone spent months tearing the entire wiring loom out of the crashed chassis and wiring it back up on this wooden jig - in WORKING ORDER. The company failed to make their yacht, and after many years of proceedings, the Teslas f...

I am absolutely loving this project! Also, long time no see!! You need to make a general update video about how your things are doing, I miss your battery and solar videos a lot too! I need to make some update videos myself too... I may or may not have bought sonnenschein batteries myself now... :P Woops!! Heheh! //your biggest fan from sweden 😄
In Norway we used it as a field equipment to for example finding satellite signals for then analogue system MAC (D/D2-MAC) when setting up satellite dish and equipment, hence the “MAC” and “PAL” button. But could be used also on analogue PAL satellite broadcast and analogue terrestrial and analogue cable. If you have a HackRF One SDR or other ones, you could hooked that up with the free open source project HackTV which can make SDR into an analogue broadcaster in many different formats and types. The software allows also test pictures and video/streaming.
I’ve been a plumber & heating engineer for 32 years and I’d say you’ve done a bang up job 👌
hi could you share with manual . cant download from hifiengine . Something wrong with website and my pioneer stil death
Thank u!
Hi Sorry for using the comments section as youtube doesn't allow DMs do you have any email that I can contact you with for product reviews? Thank you.
Oh sorry forgot to say my email and facebook contacts are in my channel info. Tnx
I became a sonnenschein fan thanks to your videos about them aswell :D They are the best, I am really excited to recieve my brand new OPZv 12V blocks that I bought brand new with a really good deal :O
990 sorts mic in placement and some other issues...
get a remote...
Today is a special day :3 Not only is it sweden's national day, but today marks the day I bought my first Sonnenschein batteries... Brand new! It set me back a lot of hard earned money that I could have easily spent on more exciting things, but because I am just as big of a battery nerd like you are, I decided to finally make a almost lifetime investment into batteries for my solar panel experiments... I know it will be worth the wait. They get manufactured on order, so I will have to wait until august before I recieve my lovely sonnenschein! I got the A612-150, OPZv 12V blocks :3 And I have never been so excited about buying batteries ever before. this is a dream come true. My solar power system is going to get such an incredible upgrade. For reference, I am using old and worn our car batteries right now, and they are just horrible! :D
Very interesting series of videos :) I am curious how you have those, and your aux battery hooked up. You mention in parallel but does this not limit the capacity at which you can discharge (mixing different capacities etc) or does your inverter/cc have multiple inputs for different strings and it is able to manage how much it draws from each one?
What temperature did you apply in Celsius and for how long?
Is it ok to change the transmission fluid on a slightly sloped floor?
Штука качественная. Скорее всего выход на наушники рассчитан на мониторные наушники, у которых сопротивление более 200К не редкость.
Sorry for the comment, but I got Honda Fit 2010, I requested a report on how health the battery. There is aline that says IMA Battery Capacity 26%. It means my battery is charging only up 26%?
So i was barely able to follow along, but I understand the idea, sort of. The bottom line, besides the modifications is that your have to run it with phantom power? 20 volts subtract the 3 from the computer , so 17 volts of phantom power? Or is it 20? And if i am assuming correctly, can you advise an affordable phantom power device that can supply the correct voltage? And the mod parts? Amazon or any local electronics dealer?
The testing was very informative and the destruction bit at the end was hilarious! I'm definitely convinced to buy one now.
@FFcossag good evening sir, your video is amazing, my question on dis MORNINGSTAR TRISTAR TS-60A SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER, can it change li-on lithium batterys? thanks for the answer.
Hey! I fixed up a braindead TX-NR616, problem is that the injected audio signal results in low volume output on the speakers, instead of the high output you had. My volume control does nothing (because of braindeadness), and I'm kind of stuck. Any suggestions on getting some more volume out?
As someone that owns one of these laptops. I really miss when laptops were designed like this. I'm not a huge fan of how thin/fragile laptops have gotten as of late. This laptop, though old, has met all my needs with Linux Mint. If you don't want to switch with Linux because of the terminal, get over yourself, you barely need to use it LOL. I'd argue, something like this for an older person would be perfect.
Im looking for a Backup eeprom Folder, more specifically I am looking for N3 and N2h chassis. Have anyone ? Great Video.
I have this ECU in my 2004 focus. I’ve replaced every sensor but it still won’t spark on cylinders 2/3. So Ive traced it back to the ECU having a problem. Hopefully I can find something that is replaceable on the board.
I've exactly the same problem. Did you find a fix?
just bought a used workstation of an IT company from next to nothing. The pc was full of dust, but the f12 by arctic were still so insanely quiet and efficient. I just cleaned the dust out and left them in.

Como poner a tiempo xf gracias
Buenas tardes
Informative thanks. The manual does say that you have to set the Iris before setting the Shutter. (On the VX990 you can turn off the beep sound)
This is exactly what I was wondering with the Onkyo TX-NR609, got it for dirt cheap and now I know why same exact issue...I was wondering if a heatsink was a valid option and you confirmed it, I shall get a heatgun in the next couple of weeks and some of that thermal paste, I think I have some heatsink blocks floating around.
I enjoy your repair work as well as your BBC level pronunciation.
RD approved repair :)

how to factory setting or Control the manual Panasonic Camcorder 4k HC-VX980 from My PC. cannot control the manuals or anything from the touch screen. Thanks
hi, can you tell us how to change the low battery voltage cutoff setting? I have a bk-650 and need to change the shutdown voltage to 11.5 to get better compatibility with lifep04 batteries
They are definitely using that crap to discourage repairs.
Hi, I just saw your Video and it helped me to repair the front dial of my old Bacco Monitor I just realived. On my old Mac there is still Operating System 9 and the Calibrator Talk Software works well. Thank you much for your video and Information.
Still here?
adding magnets is a very smart idea as it is extra level of filtration
Amazing
hello! i know this vid is a bit old but I recently got an old BK300 APC, but one of the white concrete resistors are blown up, i can't find any schematics for that specific model with consistent part numbers! If you still have this one around could you tell me what values those two white concrete resistors are? They are labeled R99 and R100 and are the only two white concrete resistors on the unit
Sorry, I have no idea.
I miss the days when we could get beautiful fluorescent lamp fixtures instead of boring and ugly chinese LED fixtures with unreplacable LEDs. Even the newer fluorescent lamp fixtures are chinese junk, they cannot be opened without damaging the plastic to replace the ballats if it fails.
Is there firmware available for this camera above 1.0? So far I have not found one, although there are updates available for many other cameras. Thanks for the reply!
How macht cca give this new battery?
Measure the lumens to see if you can call it a Dubai bulb wtf
That has nothing to do with the concept. What makes a Dubai bulb is the fact that it's built to drive the LEDs gently so that they last a long time.
Can i relocate the transformer to the battery compartment to reduce heat generated in that compartment?
2008 Civic Hybrid, JDM, right handle. I see 'Insulation resistance of high voltage circuit' 400.00 kOhm, is this like the normal resistance? Wonder if you know of any such normal range resistance values. It has 11 IMA battery modules with 16.20V except for #5 module which fluctuates 16.10~16.20V. Usable capacity 29.00%, SOC 66.00%.
Insulation resistance means that the HV system is making a connection to the metal case of the car somewhere.
@@FFcossag I see. So, then I should have like 0 Ohm for 'Insulation resistance of high voltage circuit' instead of 400 Ohm? ".. connection to metal case of the car somewhere" meaning like a shorted connection?
You want there to be no connection between the HV system and the car chassis, you probably have water ingress or something like that causing conduction where there should be none.
@@FFcossag Big thanks for your advice. Well noted. Will note you down in my business partner list.
Always enlightening Did the diesel expire or is it going to be a rolling charging station?
Thanks! The diesel is alive and well and just waiting for spring so the neighbour and I can move it without his loader sinking into the ground. I hope I'll be able to film a few videos about it when the project starts up for real.
Really nice success Ludwig!
Thanks!
Soon will be time to take it to the dino 😂😂😂
Hehe, I don't think a dyno would even register it ... The absolute peak power it'll put out is about 19 horsepower, closer to 12 if you're actually trying to do 70 km/h. :D
