So first update in a little while. I have a new job where finally I am working 4-5 days a week. The pay is decent and its fairly easy. While thats gone on, I decided to buy a new PC as my laptop was starting to show its age. Ryzen 5 3600, 32GB RAM, 500gb nvme, RX460 (just had this lying around, waiting for RTX3060). Also now have a 34in 1440 ultrawide hdr 75hz and a 32in 1440p 144hz gsync. Can’t wait for the new GPU. Anyway,.,.,
Made a trip 45 minutes down the road to visit @malJohann to pick up some batteries. He very kindly offered me his old Headway 40152S cells. These cells are 15Ah and are capable of 100A cont and 150A peak. They are used, so aren’t able to still provide this but nevertheless they will be useful. Here we have 4 * 5S packs for a total of 20S plus 12 cells of varying quality, including a few dead ones. I will use as many of these worse cells as I feel safe using, making sure that nothing will blow up. This will give me a pack that can provide enough amps and volts to get some spin from our inverter and transaxle. Still need to buy the control board for the inverter, we’re getting closer.
