If anyone had any question about the idling power consumed, here it is at about 1 watt or .8watt and the other picture is the alum cap batt running at a higher load value after running it a few hours.

Will weld the 5 BMS on tomorrow. Have a piece of 1\16 inch plexiglass to hot glue onto side of brick that holds the BMS's in place.
No comments about any of this, but just in case it's useful I'll post it.

BTW the rest of the words next to technical support address was " do not open case". lol!!!
I did a baseling test on 2 batteries were good but the 3 rd only gave me 2wh. Two batteries blew out yesterday and stopped the process at 40WH burned and the two good packs straight to the converter yielded 33WH
Baseling test failure throws off all of my tests. The batteries began popping the second day and the 3rd day. Too bad. Getting new batteries welded up will be great. I have a spot welder out of a MOT.

Well it's official, my spot welder stopped working after 1 year 4 months!! Sent an email but we all know that's a waste of email time. Amazon sells crappy stuff but the parts for the lithium stacks has been ok.
Turion, Jehu Garcia lives in LA area and has some 18650 deals time to time. I've bought all my pcb setup from him. BMS I buy from other sources.
Thanks Orion. I don't know you much but thanks.

Not one person on this forum gives a crap about what I know wish Matthew Jones was here to banter with and I hope he reads this and opens his PM to send me his email.
Like I said..... Good Luck to All

can you post a link to your youtube work? I enjoy your experiments
The only way I can keep from being mean and rude to people here is to leave and stay gone like last time.
Not one person on this forum gives a crap about what I know because everyone has their own agenda. Perfectly normal. Working together is the hard thing no one gets. Not the society I vote for.
I've tried to make friends here but wasted effort.
I may choose to post in my thread or delete it but I'll never post in your thread again...nothing personal....just done with back and forth crap here and with Bi.
The only reason I am posting this is to say I wish Matthew Jones was here to banter with and I hope he reads this and opens his PM to send me his email.

I find it humorous that bistander has dumped all over the 3 Battery System for YEARS, but now that you are posting data, he has nothing to say. Wonder why?
oh, wait, he said he doesn’t need to build it because he knows everything about it. LOLLast edited by Turion; 08-04-2022, 12:34 AM.

YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT SEND HIGH VOLTAGE THROUGH A SMALL LOAD BACK TO THE CHARGE BATTERY.
To go to the next level you need a high voltage source of DC, because you can’t recover AC, only DC. But you also need a buck so you don't hit your charge battery with too high a voltage. So you could run an inverter off a battery and put a bridge rectifier on it or use:
https://www.amazon.com/DEVMO-45-390V...356343486&th=1
You will get higher voltage out of the boost than you will an inverter and a bridge. The question, as Orion put so delicately, is what will you DO with this high voltage output. What can you put it THROUGH (so that you recover some) that will "create" energy, and what do you put THAT energy INTO. You aren't really creating energy after all, you are pulling it IN from the environment. How do you collect it. How do you store it. How do you maintain a potential difference with voltage this high and not KILL yourself. This is definitely not a MOTOR, and it is definitely NOT your standard GENERATOR, so maybe this isn't the thread for this discussion.
Also, I found out Bob had a two watt load across battery 3 as well as running a 10 watt bulb. He is still working to balance the system so that none of the batteries go down at all. I don’t have any lithium batteries to put a system together, but have some on order. Should be here in a couple days. I also ordered two of those boots modules and am trying to get a step down from 1,000V DC to 24V DC converter. Found one but had to email them to see how to buy it. Couldn’t just order it and pay for it. I have been working with 120 volts and am ready to move up a level.

Any way, I find this whole forum to be still empty and somewhat angry and that is not me or certainly not who I want to be so I'm outa here again.
Good Luck to all.
