LiPo and LFP are interchangeable abbreviations.

Who made the battery? There might be charging info available. If the batteries are drop in (ReLion / Battle Born / SOK) then any lead acid charger is OK. If it is DIY then a 2 stage (bulk/float) charge profile should be used. What DiploStrad said about the "Gel" setting is...

When removing the chains tie the ends together. It prevents the chains from twisting/flipping inside themselves. I use pcs of copper wire and the inside/outside connecting links are spray painted different colors.

Install is relevant that's why I carry 2 types of chains. Diamond pattern takes 5 min to install and double duty V bar take 15-30min. It depends on how deep the snow is.

It's a mistake using chains instead of winter tires. Light duty chains don't take you far in deep snow. V-bar chains slow you down and on plowed compact snow they are like driving on a road full of potholes.

In my truck I reach over and hit 1 button for the heat and turn a dial for temp. I do it without looking. For heat in the car I have to tap a tiny button on the 10" screen 2-3 times (I miss because the car is bouncing) to close Android Auto then (my eyes are on the screen not the road) navigate...

Reefer is a good idea but keep in mind they require a high floor loading which can mean less insulation. Not hard to work around if a foam (hydronic?) sub floor can be added.

I wish I could upgrade the accuracy of my Montana 680. It worked for hiking, driving and biking. The pressures screen was 110% in the rain/snow /ice. The 700 and my S20 phone go crazy when water/snow gets on the screen. I've dropped/bounced/dragged/kicked the 680 and it keeps going. One drop...

Aspen fuel has fewer emissions and an engine doesn't need to be run out of fuel for it to start after a couple years. I run it in all my small engines including the dirt bike. https://www.aspenfuels.com/

If you get the 700 without Inreach the 2nd GPS receiver is then used for navigation. This makes it more accurate.

Did Mike sell his Unimog?

Hi Don Few questions HP Year Engine hours Speed/RPM Wheel base Thanks John

1.7lb vs. 4lb (double the weight) I'd hope there'd be a huge difference. Don't know about PVC but PU does absorb water.....why it can cause issues if not installed in a building correctly.

Those extrusion are overkill and add weight that isn't needed.....especially if the mouting frame is done properly.

My $0.0002 would be to run the wires on the surface as much as possible. Three reasons: 1.) It can be secured......conduit works in buildings where there is very little vibration. 2.) If the wiring isn't pulled all at once there is a good chance the friction from new wires on the existing wires...

When it comes down to it the glue, how it is applied and curing process (roller / vacuum / press) has more to do with panel strength. If one wanted a stronger panel then XPS (Styromax) or TC (PU) could use a higher dencity foam but that add weight where you don't want it. The benefit of XPS...

10 GA if your running lead acid battery(s) For Lithium then use a wire size calculator for 50amps (20% oversize for the 40A Renology) and include the neg wire in the harness. You'll need 50A breakers to protect the wire. One at both ends since there's a power source at both ends.....not 3...

???? this......it the best way to bring the voltage up high enough to the trailer battery for proper charging to take place.

Haven't found a winter tire that is still soft after 4 years. I was running KO2s. They lasted 4 winters towing the trailer then I switched to Falken AT3Ws to try something different. Tread depth on the AT3W is deeper. They cost $30CDN more but the sidewalls are not as strong. AT3W are great in...

For years I've used nickle plated brass (never lead) battery clamps with 5/16"neg stud and a 3/8"pos stud and a SS nyloc nut. They make nickle plated battery clamps that have multiple size studs now.
