Edit: Grauch my only concern with it is the sturdiness of the contact with the cells with no spot welds. If this is intended to be used with recycled cells there can be some slight tolerance issues from removing previous spot welds.

I agree worth pursuing. Presumably someone could just build one of these with off the shelf stuff (COTS if you prefer). No? Am I missing something?

The sturdiness of the housing seems important. My cell phone was run over by a semi truck and the only part not affected was the battery because it had a recessed aluminum thing for it. Distrust any BMS that has a charging port that is sepa

This seems cool but unlikely something I'd use. There's two types of people who will be building their own e-bike batteries: 1. cheap bastards hoarding broken tool packs to tear down and make a pack with mixed cells. The hard part

They have this at my local expensive taco bell but it's online order only.

It seemed as if my favorite due to its cheapness fast food had become more expensive lately, and yup, every single location in my area is a red dot on that map. Bummer.

Yeah that's probably how it works, except I don't know how to actually implement all of that myself, and it was a one time payment for use on all my devices. The only downside is connection is through usb or bluetooth. If you are

This essentially looks like just a Peltier device with a fan attached. Would this actually work well, or is there some breakthrough technology involved here I have overlooked that makes it different than putting a fan inside one of those 12

Note: Dewalt 20 volts have no over discharge protection built into their BMS so be aware of that if using a 3d printed adapter.

Some brands put the protection in the battery (Milwaukee 20v does) others put it in the tool (EGO, Dewalt). If it's in the battery you're probably fine. If it's in the tool and you're using a differnt tool, a cheap hack

I do the same with EGO 52 volt batteries. These also have no unedrvolt/over-discharge* protection but for me this is better because my controller handles that and I can regen brake (p sure you can't with I assume you're talki

On Ryobi 40v if you stick a resistor between the tx and ground I think (look it up on youtube) you can charge with a standard 10s li-ion charger or cc/cv source.

Like 5 years ago I paid $10 for an app called easytether. Drivers for Windows, Mac, Linux you install these and app on your phone. It tunnels all computer traffic through your phone's browser so no tethering fees or data caps if you ha

There is no such thing as a news media outlet. It's all speech. Replace "news companies" with novelists and decide if you still agree with your statement.

Is there a way to export your notes for use in a standard mapping format, something like GIS or KML?

I was on board with this until it mentioned raccoons can open pill jars. I'm imagining someone's pet racoon getting hooked on their Ritalin prescription and actually yeah, let's do this.

Decaffeinated coffee and tea are, I believe the only food products allowed by FDA even a trace amount of dichloromethane (methylene chloride) in them. It's not allowed in cosmetics either. I came across a startup once using it as the s

This is neat, but why can't they just test the children's blood directly? In Massachusetts 70% of all children aged 9 months to 4 years old had their blood tested for lead in 2022. I'm not sure what the national average is.

That seems fine to me. While it sounds nice, I am skeptical this donation will do much in terms of more equitable access to higher education, precisely because John Hopkins is one of the best med schools around. To get in you already need t

I had to fix the emergency brake on my car once because it wouldn't pass the annual safety inspection in my state. IIRC the way it's tested is they engage the brake and then put the car in drive. If it moves under . . . I think it

A blood lead level of 1 ug/dl is enough to increase ADHD symptoms in children[1]. Children absorb lead more readily than adults and lead bioaccumulates. The CDC's action level for childhood BLL is 3.5ug/dl. 1. https:/&#

I thought this was an interesting read. There's certainly a lot of room for improvement for websites that allow you to sign up for government benefits (although i suspect in some cases the friction is intentional). My biggest gripe wit
