You can probably fast charge a Tesla with this monster. Want to charge a few eBikes, while cooking dinner on an induction electric stove, with another person showering and the rest of your party drinking ice cold beer, with a massive stereo system blasting? Here's the automotive solution. A...

I can't use lithium cells for a portable electric system, because temperatures can approach freezing at the places and time when I hope to use them. https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/archive/lithium_ion_safety_concerns Another safety issue is cold temperature charging. Consumer grade...

42V = ten, 4.2V cells connected in series, for current chemistry. Amperage equates to number of cells connected in parallel Specialized Extender weakness is 3A configuration A 9A charger means a fundamentally different cell configuration, tripling parallel connections. The Extender fits into a...

The thought just occurred to me that storing lithium batteries inside a car is unsafe. Temperatures can exceed 170F when a car is parked in the sun. Could these conditions cause lithium batteries damage or make them explode? 170F is hot enough to sanitize a car from covid19.

I would like to build a portable 1 to 2kW car electrical system around scooter components. Scooters have fast charging. The following picture illustrates my goal. Charge a battery from EV J1772 stations for use with camping appliances like water heater, conventional 110V outlets, radiant...

I like this LG Unu scooter 1.7kW battery form factor to power my car electric system. I like German technolog, but i cannot find charger details. Looks like a XLR plug. Literature says can charge at EV station. I suppose EV stations accept XLR plugs? Doesn't seem very impressive? XLR is...

Thanks. I prefer to start with special purpose items, because I don't know what i am doing. Where is the best position for the cabinet? I assume the cabinet might need to be located near the rear door? Access to quick release water couplings is important. Switch between water spout, hose and...

I am generally skeptical about any vendor tie-ins, especially electronics. I love my Specialized Diverge. The Creo is derived from Diverge geometry. I guess i need one or more milk crate(s) to function as a giant junction box. Solar controller, inverter, conventional 110V outlets, etc.... I...

My philosophy is modular. I would like to put components in plastic milk cartons and zip tie together. I haven't done something like this before. I expect to make mistakes. For example, i will simply use my camping air matress for a bed. I will not build a bed frame. I do need a frame or some...

I am assuming marine products are appropriate, but don't really know. The assumption is based on similar size constraints between boat and car. I have spent too much money at West Marine, though.

I am just leaving notes to myself. I haven't investigated inverters, yet. I would appreciate your recommendations. I know very little about this subject. I am relying on theoretical knowledge. I have no practical experience. I prefer to err on the side of over, rather than, under specifying. I...

I think 3C is essential. Taking advantage of EV car stations with J1772 outlet(s) allows scalability. You might consider multiple J1772 outlets. Personally, i am shooting for a 30 minute recharge delay. The electrical system probably needs to be accessible from rear door. Side door might...

Directly on topic. Do you know of a thread function to subordinate discussions? This 3C discussion structure has two joined, subordinate topics, i.e., eBike battery and car electrical system to support eBike charging. I am designing a 3C system for camper van around an eBike recharging system...

I really like this Hyundai H350 Camper van. It has a diesel heater. I like the way the Egoe bed frame snaps together. The bed slats slide out to conform to the minivan interior. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_H350 https://uncrate.com/nestbox-camper-module/

Information rich report that goes a long way towards explaining slow eBike charging rates. What and how much are consumers willing to pay for? How much discrepancy between what is and will delayed indefinitely? Can 3C eBike battery packs be implemented without cooling? Haibike Flyon TQ Systems...

A cyclist's minivan used as camper . Complete with 2 x 100W (parallel) solar panels for microwave. 6 to 8 amps charges 12V lithium batteries. https://www.renogy.com/new-edition-voyager-20a-pwm-waterproof-solar-charge-controller/ Appliances that add high value per square inch are listed...

OK. Not very important. I have a general sense. So many variables that only approximations matter. 3C or higher difference is substantial.

How does your ebike charge compared to your Tesla? I just made a rough estimate in the previous post. Is it realistic to expect a 3C eBike battery pack to charge twice as fast as a Tesla from home? My interest is from a transportation perspective. I see eBikes as viable transportation, rather...

Tesla Wall Connector 240 x 60 = 14kW = 60 miles per hour of charging Tesla About twice Specialized SL internal and Extender rate of 34 (120 miles / 3.5 hr) Ultra fast charging 3C battery pack Extender replacement might = 34 * 4 ~ 120, or perhaps twice Tesla at home, from 30% to 70% charge, very...
