What battery capacity are you looking for, about half what your lead-acid ones are would likely do the trick? Buying LiFePO4 at DIY level can be a nightmare, there is just sooo much carp on sale it's very difficult to recommend.

Try APKpure https://m.apkpure.com/ and download the .apk Or you could try changing your Google account to Aus (Google how to do it).

Sadly, censored on the re-runs and even the latest DVD release ????

GroWatt have a good following, not silly prices. PowMr are somewhat cheaper but still "adequate". There's a whole plethora of el-cheapo Chinese stuff of doubtful pedigree of course. Have you done a simple power-budget calculation? (or post here what you intend running and we can do it for you) I suspect you may be a little under-panelled.

Brits may remember the Acorn Electron but may have missed the Acorn Proton which was the early name of the BBC Model-B computer, a much-loved occupant of school computer labs for many years. 1982 - I Remember it like it was yesterday (but I forget what I had for lunch yesterday).

Anyone remember: - Tangerine Computer Systems, Apricot Computers, and Acorn ? IIRC there was also Fungus Computers with a mushroom for their logo.

Do you have a price guesstimate?

Any indication of dates on those documents? I see the warnings are all still relevant ????

Yeah, diesel, electric (overhead) and battery hybrid locos are being trialled by several manufacturers. I would certainly have thought that a PHEV concept would be better for the conditions on SRT.

I'm not an architect, nor do I play one on TV. I am a consultant engineer on transportation infrastructure projects (mostly rail at present). You will definitely struggle to walk in to a position unless you have contacts here ???? Do you have significant relevant experience? If so, getting a job in your home country with one of the international consultancy companies (e.g. WSP https://www.wsp.com/en-th) which has branches here could be a way forwards. What makes you want to come to Thailand in particular? Other SE Asian countries (Malaysia, Singapore etc.) may be more accessible. India could also be an option. I was very lucky in that 30 odd years ago I was unemployed in the UK and a mate asked me if I fancied a short contract in Korea (where? thinks I). He quoted what was, to me at the time, an obscene amount of money so of course I said yes. There followed 15 years or so trogging around Asia (and a few years in Europe) during which I acquired a Thai wife (in Rome, Italy for flips sake). Then in 2004 the work in Europe dried up so we decided to move to Thailand where our savings would last a bit longer than in the UK. My Asian network was still very much intact and I got a consulting job here within a month. I'm still with the same small consulting company. ???? It's not impossible, even in the "restricted" professions, but it's not easy either. You need a lot of luck and a marketable skill. Good luck in your quest!

From the OP "and a battery swapping station that swaps out the battery in under 10 minutes." it's not perfect, but it's a start and the fewer antique smoke belchers the better.

BTS have had them for years, takes 2 x AA. I actually bought one of these for my boss' birthday some years ago.

An off-topic trolling post along with replies has gone walkabout.

OK, how many (non-Aussie) members went and checked??? Advance Australia Fair Australians all let us rejoice For we are young and free We've golden soil and wealth for toil Our home is girt by sea Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty, rich and rare In history's page let every stage Advance Australia fair In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair Beneath our radiant Southern Cross We'll toil with hearts and hands To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands For those who've across the seas We've boundless plains to share With courage let us all combine To advance Australia fair In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair

Ah, I saw this on the elevated section, I wondered why it wasn't belching black smoke ???? I just hope they don't put the charging station near us, our lights are dim enough as it is

I think the machine in question was the espresso machine rather than a "grinder" per-sé. https://www.boncafe.co.th/en/shop/coffee-machine/semi-automatic/la-marzocco/la-marzocco-linea-mini-i-o-t-system-pre-order/ Price is about right.

Sometimes rather too much. Asking for a friend ????

Yeah, a gas hob should drop you easily into the single-phase 15/45 box. It might be worth considering tank-type water heaters as these have a much lower peak consumption, or even gas water heaters although many worry about carbon-monoxide issues (proper installation is vital).

Topic title says it all really. Recommendations for a contractor??

Abe and Becky are on their honeymoon. Becky turns to Abe in bed and says, “Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin.” Shocked, Abe asks, “How can you be a virgin? I’m your fourth husband, you were married three times before!” Becky responds, “My first husband, Max, was a gynecologist and all he wanted to do was examine it. My second husband, Benny, was a psychiatrist, and all he wanted to do was talk to it. And my third husband, Izzy, was a stamp collector and all he wanted to do was.....oy do I miss Izzy!”

U got some piccies Jerome?? Drawings??

A very quick and dirty max demand calculation. I've made some assumptions which may not be valid, but should give an idea. Large (5x11) pool and spa area (water jets), saltwater system. 2HP pump = 1.5kW Pool load = 7A (daytime) Western kitchen (without dishwasher), so fridge, oven, microwave, toaster, hob. Oven - 3kW Hob - 6kW Cooking load with diversity = 20A A/C available in 4 rooms, 3 bedrooms and living room but expect very low usage. (We hardly ever use now) 18,000BTU x 3 (bedrooms) = 5.4kW 24,000BTU (lounge) = 2.4kW (assume not run concurrently with bedrooms) Night A/C load = 25A = assume running at 30% (inverter units) = 10A Day A/C load = 11A = = assume running at 30% (inverter unit) = 4A Simple water heaters in 3 showers. 4.5kW x 3 (assume 2 at once) Water heater load = 41A Incidental loads (TVs, lighting, pumps) are negligible assuming LED lighting. ===================================================== So, you are really looking at a 30/100 single-phase meter. You will need to verify with your local PEA office if this is available. If the 30/100 isn't available you're probably going to be looking at a 15/45 3-phase supply. If you switch to a gas hob you should be good to go on a 15/45 single-phase (which is what most of us have). Is there likely to be an EV / plug-in hybrid in the future plans? You will definitely need the larger supplies or a second meter if PEA are still offering one (which could be TOU for cheaper charging). Any thoughts of solar or a genset in future? If so, plan for it now!

The PEA app will create a "Smart Invoice" which should have all the necessary detail.

Aluminium underground for domestic installations hasn't been permitted for many years here. Copper NYY is the stuff you need. It CAN be direct buried but is far better in black HDPE with a red tracer (for electricity).
