yes they are thermostat controlled, you can also wire em up to a timer and/or remote so if you need it warm for work every morning that can be done too.. its the "remote start" solution for diesels since they dont really warm up idling and all that emissions gear trying to warm it up should not...

it works wonders for my canvas popouts, so your 99.9% useless claim seems dubious its the difference of the heaters doing practically nothing to furnaces cooking us out.. yeah it would probably be as effective as putting spacers under the battery so it didnt sit flat on the floor and had some...

if its in daily driver mode can you just disconnect the battery? do you have any actual loads that need to run off it daily? I was surprised how well a lil bit of insulation worked, before the battery would not be within 10 degrees of ambient when it was that cold out.. tho I should known with...

I put a couple layers of reflectex on the bottom of my battery box this time around, I realized this aluminum frame is a great heatsink after this last time I went out and my 7g water jug nearly froze overnight sitting on the tongue.. so figured a lil bit more isolation between the floor and the...

mine still locks in just fine, it does push the two halves out a lil bit.. but can hear it click in place as it rotates.. Ive had to tweak it a few times as things kinda worked in and it got loose and started tilting from wind but its been holding it upright for a good while now and I can...

you do know you can adjust the tension right? holds my 3ft antenna jas fine and dandy.. took a few adjustments tho. loosen the nut, stab a flathead through the hole in the front, turn it a few times then tighten the nut back up.

if you have the density to have more range than your willing to drive in a day, then you have time you sleep to recharge it.. after having 700m+ range diesel car its pretty easy to go a full day on the road w/out worrying about refilling at all.. if you double the existing range of the Tesla...

when you got a truck with a 1k mile range, the cold belt impact wont be a problem if you still get 500m off a charge too.. if we get beyond 2x the energy density it'll start chipping away at the long haul stuff too.. if it could hit 5x what we got today and you could tow a battery that would...

yeah battery tech is progressing much quicker than ICE tech.. and we've been at the point for a while now where ICE tech is scraping at the edges for every bit of efficiency that can be had.. in comparison to a high output, low displacement ICE with ever increasing layers of complexity and...

whats the battery voltage after running it for a day?

One gallon of gasoline contains about 33kWh of energy, so a typical EV only has the equivalent of 2 gallons of gas in potential energy. However, the internal combustion engine is so very very bad at converting that energy to movement and electric motors are so very good that generally that is...

a 75/15 would be plenty for your single battery setup..

thats what she said.

might need to add some chokes to it, I did to get rid of some noise.. I ran cat6 all the way to the back, crimped on that end and punchdown box under the dash and it works just fine... chokes are right before the radio.

Luddite Automotive Experts been around since they invented the car.. Real cars have to be cranked to start.. nobody is gonna buy an electronic start just to get stranded in the middle of the Mojave and end up a fossil.. wha'da all want, women to start driving or something? smh..

his house bank is 2 small FLA batteries, I presume GC2 or equivalent.. either way you cut it he's overpaneling the livign hell outta this.. he wont see 30A charge current, let alone 60A.. and a huge efficency loss when you got 5x as much solar than most is kinda still a tiny loss that has no...

a 100/30 is like $220.. I got mine for $180, and it would be fine for all his panels.. would be less than half the cost of four 75/15's.

couple things here, first of all thats NOMINAL power, ie.. best results for most.. however, notice the big red arrow.. you can overpanel this fine, it will limit output at 30A, which means input will be less than 30A since it must be a higher voltage. Charger output is decided by battery...

that would make sitting around waiting to recharge a bit more fun in places like Utah/Colorado.. The general store in Pitkin has a free EV charging spot, and you can ride ATV's right out of town and up over the Cumberland pass into Tincup and beyond..

wonder what the range of that Tesla ATV is gonna be, and how much range it eats off the mothership to recharge it.. its obvious to most expo people that PEV's are a long ways off from being feasable, if ever.. but considering we are the minority for a moment and >90% of trucks sold seemingly...
