two words lets go Brandon! :giggle:

Lol, Imagine a light you cant switch off, sounds like it might be the invention of the Eskom chairman. Actually they use a small residual current to hold a relay and when the current is no longer present, the relay de- energizes and enables the battery connection. Although thats probably the...

Did you import those items? Having difficulty finding locally in Cape Town. So far I've only found places in residential areas(sketchy) and lifepo4.co.za which has a contact page in America, super sketchy.

I'm curious as to what you used, ie 18650's and how you charge it? My 2 x100ah deep cycle lead acids have died and Im wondering which route to go.

noice, solar charged? Did you need another garage for the batteries?:) edit : I see those 2 us3000 are li on batts.

What @Stranger said, perfectly safe.

Simple answer is that you cannot draw more voltage than the batt provides. The extra volts is courtesy of the boost circuitry which comes at the loss of some amps. There are 2 types of dc -dc converters, boost circuits which step up dc volts and buck circuits which step down dc volts.

I see the Artic is 45x 18 and Pulse is 55 x 18 so in theory it should fit. but the Pulse is a female fitting and the Artic is a tube, so if the brass tube of the pulse fits in the tube , it could theoretically work.

@jamesvapes_sa what are you making? Raspberry Pi case https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-Raspberry-Pi-Case-From-an-Altoids-Ti/ Survival kit https://www.instructables.com/Altoids-Survival-Kit-20/ Flashlight https://www.instructables.com/Make-an-Altoids-Flashlight/ Inquiring minds...

You're welcome to the kidneys from my steak&kidney pie... I can doggie bag them for you if you'd like. :D

Some skilled work there. Was it CNC'd ? I imagine its a pricey machine. Is that actual wire mesh in a layered background? Very fancy I must say.

My latest interest of many, plastic injection molder. Last weekend was welding, this one will be finishing touches and the wiring. I have plenty failed 3D ABS prints that can now get a 2nd life with injection molding.

Same reason that peanut butter isnt breakfast, lunch and supper... variety I guess.

External battery for me. Much easier to source 18650's than finding the same size and capacity for an internal batt.

Yes I did. I bought it with those 2 square cutouts and scalloped edges.

Thanks man, searched high and low about 10 years ago to no avail. Picked up the last piece Gasket & Shim had, 1.6mm thick and 140x180mm, cost R287.50, but it had to be done. Fortunately all is air tight and working now. It smells of cinnamon, apparently thats the identifier to not confuse it...

I've only got a gasket shellac which Im a bit leery of applying to the cap, I dont want to have to clean a hard mess. That said, I tried an oil soaked cork but it still pops an air bubble every 20 seconds or so.(primus in the deep freeze for 30mins and then popped into hot water) We'll see what...

I tried an oring, probably not nitrile, from my Chinese oring box for the meantime. Im happy with the way its burning blue flame from the very yellow before, but the oring seems to have glued the fill cap in place. I smeared some vaseline beforehand but cant even budge the cap a quarter turn...

The big end cork quill seal was the first thing I checked on my Enfield bullet, the corks were known to be problematic which could result in engine failure. Replaced mine with a neoprene version to be safe.
