This is obviously some new meaning of "under control" of which I was previously unaware!

For UK-ites of a certain age the Great Escape https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057115/ is synonymous with the Xmas period. Some might notice the similarities to another UK movie, Chicken Run

Yeah, There was also a chap doing the same with the Crystal Palace TV transmitter. They did him for not having a TV licence. As an apprentice we did a project that was a medium wave radio powered by the long wave 200kHz Droitwich transmitter (check out the ZN414 one chip radio https://www.cool386.com/zn414/zn414.html), it worked but wasn't exactly portable needing a loooong wire for the power reception.

There are also various (rather short) highlights on YouTube. I get my fix using AirTV Extra (not free).

Did it work? "Blueprinting" like we do with performance engines definitely works, but one shouldn't have to do it with a koi feeder. Our "automatic" feeder is also the maid, she's got a phone and Madam checks every 60 seconds if we are away.

Yeah, me too. @sirineou Is the seller still listing the item? The problem isn't just a dead battery is it?? Thanks for not naming the seller, of course members are welcome to ask by PM.

Sadly you are correct, although road rage shootings aren't particularly common. Anyway, let's try and stay on-topic which is the use (or non-use) of indicators / turn signals. This thread is already borderline Thai bashing, let's stay behind that line.

Yup, and it's not just Thailand. It's common to many countries, they are taught to operate the vehicle, they are not taught to drive. So nothing about anticipation or courtesy and certainly no road-sense.

Given a haircut to take up less space ????

None of the above. I've actually only ever seen the "hazards for going straight" one. Long, long ago, my UK driving instructor told me that "the only thing an indicator tells you is that it works". I (mostly) use mine in the same way I would in the UK and treat other user's signals as simply flashing lights. I'm never surprised by what a vehicle does (or doesn't do) relative to the status of the indicators.

It will work fine, mostly (and you could do it with 4 x 12V packs too which might be even cheaper). A couple of caveats. You need to top-balance both packs before connecting them in series so they both have the same charge level. If you start out with one at low charge and the other at high charge then when in series the high charge one will become full and its BMS will cut off before the other pack has reached full charge (so it never will). Conversely when discharging the lower charge pack will become empty first and cut off the discharge path leaving unusable capacity in the higher charged pack. Even with a top-balance any mismatch in capacity of the two packs will, over time, result in them getting further and further out of sync, eventually also leading to the above. Of course, the issue is easily fixed by another top-balance. Buy your packs from the same source at the same time to get the most similar packs. I'll stick with my used golf-cart cells, 200Ah @ 1,600 Baht (about 80% of rated capacity left), 16 needed plus a 16s BMS.

One assumes there follows a hard night in too Fetching my coat...

30% more expensive, only one left, get them whilst they're hot! https://www.lazada.co.th/products/lithium-phosphate-battery-power-wall-48v-512v-200ah-lifepo4-battery-10kwh-i2771668007-s10076827453.html

Would I do something like that??? If I had the $$$, of course

OK, I'll guess they are in series (from the pump spec.) and they're probably V-OC less than 50V, I-SC less than 10A. So we're looking at something to control 200V @ 20A or so. The cold is getting us here in BKK too, the dogs are actually waiting to have their coats put on tonight.

Truly, they walk among us, at least they blanked out the plate. Was it set up?? Who really knows? I was married to a blue-eyed, blonde Essex girl (dead heat in a zeppelin race), everything you have heard is true (and I loved her to bits for 20 odd years, plus half a dozen sensible ones).

Personally I would place any controlling element in line with the existing switch, we know that won't hurt the panels or the controller. Any news on the controller type / connections?? One issue you will have with any type of relay will be the large voltage range it will need to operate over, I suspect a solid-state relay would be a better choice than anything electromagnetic. EDIT How many panels do you have, are they in series or parallel, what is the open-circuit voltage of each panel, short circuit current (all will be on the back of the panel)? With that info I can design you something that would work with a regular AC pressure switch.

Don't forget it's 200Ah @ 48V nominal (about 10kWh) ???? So you'd need 8 x the 200Ah gel batteries for the equivalent storage.

Hardly "Tesla" but it's in a nice box and the size and weight are about right for a 200Ah x 48V LiFePO4 pack, looks like a reasonably "smart" BMS too. You could probably DIY a pack for half that but no nice pre-packaged box.

Definitely get your property limits surveyed, we gained a fair bit back from the khlong which had "moved". For a house nobody is going to care, although the whole village knew what we were building even before approval. Such is the family grapevine and news dissemination system (Madam's son is married to Puyai Baan's daughter). Watch your set backs, roof edges and window positions, we have a large (1.5 Rai) plot to play with but oftentimes things get a bit tight.

A guy was nailing his interview when the employer said "Well you look great but I see here there was a 7 year gap since your last job… what happened there?". The guy says "Oh, I went to Yale". The employer: "Oh great!! Well, you're hired, you start Monday" Guy: "Yay! I got a yob!"

Are you fully vaxxed?? It seems to work for some and not others (what a surprise!).
