Building a solar powered/Charged Golf cart
Lots of them have built in Temp regulating heater pads for winter use. Lithium Ion is generally limited to 2 C-- LiFePO4 is usually good to 3-10C or More for the A123 Brand Nano Phosphate. Not saying is worth it just yet but looks like the future is Low Lead for sure. -

Building a solar powered/Charged Golf cart
the lithiums now are a little better. they are designed to be lead acid 12V replacements. Most chargers output 14.4V Max or less and for 48V its usually 57.6V or less. The lithiums would like 14.6V for 100% charge so 58.4V. So your 48V charger should be ok on 4 lithium batteries. math says... -

Building a solar powered/Charged Golf cart
Do you know if offset wheels are needed for bigger tires/lift? Not sure if there is enough room on the factory Zero offset rims in the back to go from 18x8.5-8 to 22x11-8 tires and not rub on the wheel tubs. BTW--looks like out of a 400W array mounted on the roof will net closer to 200W... -

I got the HiQ batteries from ebay. $259 each shipped. they are made by TOBATTERY. They say they have low temp charge protection. I'll test them for capacity and temp when they get here in a few days. They are 9x8x7" which makes them the smallest I've seen and it looks like I could fit 8 of... -

Building a solar powered/Charged Golf cart
Bought a Golf cart 48V Yamaha for a project with my 10 year old son. Decided to ground up build it with the intent of using it as our transport vehicle around our place in WV to reduce our dependence on Gasoline. Plan in motion: 1. Replace the 80lb lead acid batteries which are junk with 4x... -

Reduced Calorie experiment
I think its all great stuff here. I'm just glad as at 1,500 calories a day I know what I need to eat to maintain my current weight. I'm sure when it comes down to it I could do more to get back into my 32 waist jeans! In all seriousness when the SHTF I feel like we have a better... -

Reduced Calorie experiment
Been lots of talk about calories. In General the thought is if you don't get 2,000 a day you'll lose weight. Well that's only been kind of true. My wife and I started to count everything we ate and found we were over 2,000/day. I started at 228lbs and she was 160. we both set a limit of... -

If Russia acts a fool. When to leave the DMV?
Like most of you, I live within 20 radial miles of the biggest target on the planet. In the event of sabre rattling becomes a tripped trigger, when will you leave? Just provoking thoughts. Also have you figured out how to haul everything you have/need? You always think you are prepared... -

Trauma Kit list
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. USMC taught me how to keep someone alive until help arrived but that's about it. I'm not a Corpsman, Medic or 18D but I know a few. Dad's a Paramedic, put my first wife through nursing school and stayed at a Holiday inn last night to be safe. In all... -

Trauma Kit list
Recently had an accident at our getaway place and everything turned out just fine. However, it got me thinking about what would happen if driving 1.5 hours to the nearest hospital with trauma center was not an option? Started building a trauma kit. Trying to keep in mind an accident like... -

Picked up a Baby Browning--looking for 25 auto
Sweet little pistol in great shape. Just love how small it its! Stopped on my way home to see if I can get some 25 Auto and the 1 shop in Western MD had 1 Box of 6.35mm Browning ( 25 Auto) and was $39.99! I said not thanks I'll wait to look when I get home. Anyone seen any lately? -

Rude service MOCO gunshops
No it was very weird. She asked for my ID and I thought it was to see if I was Over 21 or something ( I was in My late 30's) then she turned around and started writing the info in a book. When I asked her what she was doing then she told me it was to give to the Fire Marshall. I left and... -

Rude service MOCO gunshops
I gave up on Atlantic YEARS ago. Same reason, tired of feeling like I was doing them a favor. Had some bad experiences with returns when a sight purchased and installed by them broke. Took them Months to get it replaced even though they had them in stock and wanted to charge me again to...
