I was surprised to find this unusual transportation recently, and he was pretty sweet!

Sorry, BMS is a Battery Management System. I was designing one myself, but I found a nice one I could buy for less cost, than I could build my own. If it behaves, I will need 50 of them.

When I finish, this battery will look like a reactor core; but it should last over 30 years, without me messing with this battery bank.

:D

holy moly sir smithlabs! are you going to show photos and stuff about this?

@janton Yes, someone might benefit from it. I will do a set of build pictures. I will probably do one on the 3-D parts too, just in case someone needs that info too.

I just thought about when I go off grid. I will need a new computer. This one draws half as much as one of the AC units I am installing! I will need to fix that for sure!

*>:(

oh ok sir smithlabs..so the new computers don't take hardly any power?

I will just need to select one that draws less power, or build a new power supply myself....

:'(

ok..sir smithlabs do they say on them when you buy them..how much power they use?

Don't know what they will draw, until I look. This one has a 650 watt power supply, and probably draws 450 watts. I may need to go to a laptop mother board for the next build.

Worst case I will be forced to buy a laptop, for minimal power use.

;D

oh wow, are you sure you'd be forced to? has to be a work-around for that problem.

I have not bought a complete computer in 15+ years. I prefer to build what I want into a machine. Buying a laptop, would be a big step down, simply to save time.

Not sure if I will do that or not. I still need to review power possibilities with current hardware first. Then I need to decide if I will power the unit directly from the 24 volt house buss.

:O
