    Does your diesel heater make a smell? How bad for you are the little fumes that excrete from them?

    The stuff that people use on stove pipes should be fine.. I’ve used heat resistant sealant that is applied with a sealant gun.. it doesn’t seem to smell much either when first applied.. may need to be gentle with the heat at first though...

    Does your diesel heater make a smell? How bad for you are the little fumes that excrete from them?

    My point being that you need to go through the thing checking its weak points...until it works properly...something that should have been done before it left the factory..

    Does your diesel heater make a smell? How bad for you are the little fumes that excrete from them?

    Just as a side note... I bought a Chinese quad flail mower ... petrol engine powered... and it was shite... it just didn’t want to do what I expected it should do... however.. After a few modifications of my own .. it worked much better.. So I think with some stuff made in China.. be prepared to...

    Does your diesel heater make a smell? How bad for you are the little fumes that excrete from them?

    Doesn’t sound great to be honest... I see a lot of you tubers using diesel heaters... maybe ask in the comments ... I’m trying to think of the alternatives... small wood burner ( not so discreet )... portable solar generator with low wattage heater... let engine run and use the blowers... you...

    I should have known better... (sorry, ranting)

    YouTube is all about the drama unfortunately... the algorithm demands it... no drama ..no clicks.. makes for a very divisive society... that’s why I like this forum.. full of good people and good info..?

    I should have known better... (sorry, ranting)

    Just a gentle reminder that there are always two parties involved in a transaction... the business.. and the customers... It only takes a few very difficult customers to sour things for a business... after that .. room for manoevre becomes limited.. also vice versa... once burned as a...

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    So the big question being how do we know if our cells were compressed initially to help squeeze out the “ bubbles “ before they were sold or distributed... ?

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    This is another layer of discussion... cells are constrained( thanks @Q-Dog ) ... but mostly only along one axis....?
  24. C

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    I missed this post.... “constrained “ is a much better term... but still needs to be expanded on..

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    True... however the compression is coming from the cells... not from the cells enclosure as of when it was built...

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    Lol... cmon.. we can’t rely on dictionary... we can do better than some old musty book... we should at least have a glossary of descriptive terms for the forum... fixation means zilch unless it can be expanded further to suit the context.

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    Fixation doesn’t really describe in detail what it actually is... same as compression... neither of them are descriptive enough ... hence my more accurate term... fixed rigidly in situ... although I’m sure there is a much better term.. or maybe the forum members could come up with something ...

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    I’m wondering whether it would be more accurate if the term compression was dropped by the online community, your thread above is a good irl assessment of a battery pack being “ rigidly held in situ “... as opposed to being “ under pressure “... but as usual there will be as many opinions as...

    30kWh Envision Import & DIY

    Nice setup.. I like the ratchet straps.. keeps everything held tight.. but not too tight... and allows for expansion.. What do you think of these.. https://eu.nkon.nl/accessories/packaccessoires/isolatiepapier/foam-voor-prismatics.html
