Most all our work was on TV, radio, audio cabling so lots of lacing. Never worked on power though we learnt the theory. Twas listening to a program on alzhimers and the dr said if you can remember things that happened when you were young then that's a good sign you won't get alzhimers. 🙂

I bought these TE6014-A terminals to insert 2 x 6mm2 cables and then crimp. Two 6mm2 Cu stranded cables are too large for the ferrul. What am I doing wrong? Never used these before and not very well made and not very thick metal.

Now charging at 32A single phase. Cleaned up the connectors a bit, redirected the incoming cable straight to the breaker and not the terminal block, so when the incoming breaker is off no power in the box. Charged the car at 32A and took a heat signature and looks good to me. Wiring messy and no lacing which my 1st year Engineering School instructors would be horrified with. Still have to buy and install the MOVs fuse. Keep forgetting.

When I did some building extensions in the Pattaya house I removed the wiring before new walls and roof extension. I usually treat everything as live even though main breakers etc turned off. Up to the last wires I was tempted to just do with my hands, but luckily I used my insulated pliers and while removing the wires I shorted them with the pliers and a great big flash nearly blinded me.. .scary. I checked the cable and it went straight back to the incoming mains cable. No consumer unit no circuit breaker. Maybe wired like that from the start.

My answer: YES Reason: Electronic junctions probably degrade quicker if exposed to consistent high temperatures.

Like Richard did with their red thumbs down. One keystroke; brave adding nothing.

So everyone critisizes here and on every forum. Everyone just criticizes! Easy to have a coffee, put brain in neutral and hit the keys. Why not try to offer some useful recommendations? It's always moan, groan and put downs. Like this post.

Was charging the EV yesterday arvo and full sun into the garage (garage door coming ...) was only at 25A a mear pittance of what you guy are using (fing scary) but app showed the temp climber to 55 degrees but EVES kept going (just thought I'd see what happened). This morning no brown smell or moltent glob. I like this EVSE.

You bought your batteries from this company, then assembled and installed in a container? Did the same company supply all the kit? I've seen some vids when people buy their batteries and kit to self assemble. Batteries are from China, specifically Shenzen Luyuan https://szluyuan.en.alibaba.com/

Crossy you bought and assembled your own batteries if I remember. Would you do it again?

Don't worry I've found some engineering Bentonite 35kg bags.

Yes could be TMJ (forgot the name before). You say you have no pain, but have you pressed with your fingers really hard around the outside of your ear on the jaw near the hinge and down. Also above the ear on the side of the head? Evidently there are many muscles that can contract and stay contracted unless you manipulate them. Have you visited a physio that also specialises in TMJ? If they do acupuncture (mine did) they will stick needles into the contracted muscles which makes them release. Good fun, but works over a few visits. Also did you try a course of Celebrex (my specialist recommended this in case the joint has inflammation.) If you have arthritis in other joints you could well have it in your jaw hinge joint too. I told a friend who got ear trouble and specialist couldn't find anything to press around his ear jaw hinge, he said it didn't hurt, I said press real hard, he said it hurt because he was pressing hard. So told him to press the other side as hard and it didn't hurt. There you go. 🙂

Moderator, good morning, can you please move this to the DIY forum as no responses here.

I have some holes in the soil in the yard that water runs into when it rains. I want to plug these holes, so thinking of using Bentonite Clay and dirt or sand on top. Lazada has the Bentonite Clay but as I have not used it before, which type to use? Seems like most bentonite clay advertised are for use in beauty products.
