    Australian and British bloggers arrested in Iran

    I don’t know if to be more shamed or discussed by some people’s reply here. Two young travelers are held in one of the worlds most infamous regimes prison for what is likely a simple mistake and all your sympathy is distilled to “don’t be stupid/don’t fly a drone/Iran is not the problem”...

    Does it fit or does LR will backup warranty with 35? that’s whole different story. Slowly..

    I hope you do understand it’s all planned timing release? There is no “leak”, it’s all publicity set in advance to maximize the show.

    Super-simple 12v power source for fridge?

    You need to run over a short check list to determine if the100ah battery is sufficient god you. As I measured it, a good fridge set to “32f at about 70f ambient temp, shaded and well ventilated, draws an average 1.5 ah in 24h (low night consumption and normal day consumption). As 35~ah/24h in...

    I think you totally missed the button line. If all are improving then the betters ones will continue to be the better ones and the worst will stay.. worst. And this is what you agreed.. That’s not personal, You wrote it. so maybe the Nadia Comaneci was too sarcastic, apologies. Slowly..

    100 Watt solar panel testing - Goal Zero, Rock Pals, Aims Power, and another cheap Chinese one from Amazon.

    Correct. The volt can be in the cutoff range, and the fridge would turn on but the current (amp) is not sufficient, and the compressor will not start. Common failure that has similar Symptoms are faulty/insufficient negative (-) connection, or thin wiring. Both will lead to fridge cutoff even...

    100 Watt solar panel testing - Goal Zero, Rock Pals, Aims Power, and another cheap Chinese one from Amazon.

    Yes, Because it’s not accurate to relate to a 100ah battery as 100ah capable for static energy source for a fridge. It will be insufficient for the spike needed to start the fridge’s compressor even when the volt is within cutoff values. It’s not just the volt, but the current is more...

    A 100ah battery is not delivering 100ah rather then close to practical 40, if it’s not a deep cycle battery, and your is not as you mentioned. Remember that the cutoff kicks in about 11v, which is far from using all the battery capacity. I did more then one testing of fridge energy consumption...

    100 Watt solar panel testing - Goal Zero, Rock Pals, Aims Power, and another cheap Chinese one from Amazon.

    What size fridge and what temp setting? I run a fridge in my truck’s bed (well ventilated and shaded all time), for the past 6 years and didn’t get even close to these results, even with a good 90apm battery. Even the best fridges don’t go down to less then 1.7amp/hr average consumption...

    100 Watt solar panel testing - Goal Zero, Rock Pals, Aims Power, and another cheap Chinese one from Amazon.

    Sounds exceptional. What type and size battery? What was the climate? I did a test once, with a new 72amp lead battery, fridge set to 32fr (about 90fr ambient temp) and after 23hr, the battery ran flat and damaged, and did not charge properly anymore.

    100 Watt solar panel testing - Goal Zero, Rock Pals, Aims Power, and another cheap Chinese one from Amazon.

    When your battery is in its prime, then yes, the volt is a common easy indicator for its status. Good indicator to the battery status is when it’s fully charged, left a night to rest without anything connected to it. After 12hr it should be no less then 12.5v. If it drops from that, it mean that...

    100 Watt solar panel testing - Goal Zero, Rock Pals, Aims Power, and another cheap Chinese one from Amazon.

    Yes. Sometime people confused between volt and amp. You can see it when the voltage is above the fridge’s cutoff, the fridge control panel is on, but the fridge won’t start. From my experience, the fridge is one of the first indicators of a weak battery. Yes. Yes..but it’s not ideal for all...

    100 Watt solar panel testing - Goal Zero, Rock Pals, Aims Power, and another cheap Chinese one from Amazon.

    The fridge has a very high amp demand for a fraction of a second (spice) to start the compressor running. Kind of starting the engine. solar panels cannot provide this demand, so you cannot activate the fridge without a battery in the middle. On the other hand, the fridge works in intervals...

    That was the bar which the Defender and alike where measured. Exactly because it was on a different bar. And if it cannot reach that bar, it’s a different platform, maybe good in its own bar, but not a Defender.. It’s not only the solid axles or body on frame, it’s the weight carrying ability...

    Because the issue is not Scott’s proven ability to professionally Annalise a video. He analyses this new platform very clearly, but the issue is does this LR creation deserves to be called “Defender”. I think not. Don’t get me wrong, I highly regard Scott’s writing as professional and it’s one...

    I didn’t deny anything, I was referring mistakenly to the wrong link, and I corrected my note afterwards. Scott reviewed an edited video, as you ignore to accept. He didn’t held the wheel or drive it, did I miss something? I don’t know what’s your experience in photo editing or vehicle...

    Thanks for the corrected link. Nice video. Well edited to show what they wanted. Looks very capable, but it’s an edited video.. you see only the positive points. I’ve been testing vehicles in the past. videos like this, are usually a combination of different vehicles shots merged into one...
