Not only is the wrong magnet, it is a zinc plated magnet. It really should be a bright nickel to keep the shine on things. However, this did solve it for me for the time being; Standard 1/4" diameter, 1/8" thick.

I really like the idea of a quick change pack like cordless drills and things. That has to be considered in the industrial design of the project. I can think of a quick plug-in pack even within the product but that doesn't solve charging 3 cells at once. That is the part that I want...

SS then Ti full charge I'll know what I think of the meter when it hits 9V. Going fro 3 to 2 grn lights on firing doesn't bother me in the least. I want to know when the 3rd one goes out. I'll know that today.

I really want to get away from removing the cells daily [18350]. I can easily bring out all 4 tap leads to a balance plug. Still not sold on a mains disconnect but the fuse - definitely. Also like the protected 18650's. 3500mah flashlight safe with a realistic working current of up to 8.5...

Set and forget. It doesn't take long to put 1000mah back. The charger is 2 amps. In theory, it can fully charge in a 1/2 hour. Not sure where the charge current limit is. It charged right at 1/2 amp when I got it. Took maybe 20 minutes to peek the charger at equilibrium. @fatbiker - you...

Hey @InvisiKat - welcome to FC. You're saying some magnets are the correct non-axial poling?

Yep, seen that video. That is why my DIY charging regime is still open. I could see 3 isolated XTAR M0's doing the best job. Those are great little modules. I'm waiting to evaluate a DC 2S/3S charger. Mostly for the regulation up front. That is one thing missing in the Chinese BMS.

Thanks for reporting back on that test @Edgedamage - I know the specs on the cutoff voltage is very cavalier. The 14500 were weak enough that even as a matched pack, they'd have trouble without a balancing circuit between the cells. They were rated for for it but failed under scrutiny. If you...

And we have a winner! First image. <envy> I'm here hounding the windows waiting for the mail truck LOL --------------------------------------------------------- It's here! It's Small! It's here in one piece no less! 1) wrong magnet 2) 12V supply? 3) more packing needed; box ding 4)...

Mine will be fully discharged a lot :brow:

Yea, I'm waiting to remind mine there is a package just in case there is confusion.

What? @acstorfer - those tracking scanners work immediately. What is tracking telling you? Would it fit in the box? Did they leave the 'pink slip'? In out neck of the woods, it means a neighbor will be bringing it by later from a miss-direct. @doubledown - sorry for the let-down. Today...

So who'd gonna post first with an Alpine box in hand? My guy is unreliable on Mondays. Could be in a few minutes or after dark. SHOW YOUR DELIVERY!

Nice. The whole idea of DIY is to dial exactly what you want. Thank you again for taking those readings. This is the tuning of my HalfPint... It might look innocent but it's as hot as all the rest. The original Mini ZVS on the bench was running 10V/6A|60watts consistently. That is the...

Are you happy with its performance as it is? Certainly adds to the safety factor.

LOL I guess. Yea, you could run a bar with that PS. That's a pretty tame heater at around 40 watts. maybe 50 watts with the umph behind it at 12 volts? 50 watts is a very nice soaking rate. At 36 watts I start wondering if my cells need recharging, which they do at this point [9V].

:whip: I was hoping that was the case. Looks like mine will be out for delivery tomorrow after all. It has been scanned within the vicinity! Now we're talking :wave: ...and if you missed the reference; recheck your USPS tracking. This is two days earlier than expected.

Oh man, I hope the drives can handle the brown-outs! :cool: Did you do some power readings on your unit? Something in the 70 watt range? @Edgedamage

If only we could fuck with time :science: And @BabyFacedFinster - it's been suggested :D; '...lengthen the AC cord on the brick.' NO!

It's the right idea, yes. But if you want 40% more, then you need the 20% which is 5' and add 5'. So 6.5' would be a 27% solution, or about another 1/3rd of a second @BabyFacedFinster That damn math thing again :disgust:
