It's HUMP DAY, Have a good day every one.

 

Will do.

 

sounds like meatballs to me

My newest

 

10mm ?

 

I should have him put the size on there!

 

Anyone here an electronics wizard of some sort? Could use some help with my next project.

Also need recommendations for a local electronics store. I need some resistors, capacitors, prototyping breadboard, digikey, etc.

I’d like to try to build a 20vDC-12vDC converter with battery undervolt protection.

I should be able to use my 20v Dewalt Batteries to power my kayak electric motor and my ARB fridge/freezer.

 

I mean don't the batteries have built in under-volt protection? That's not a function of the dewalt tool.

Granted, I don't know how many amps your lazy kayak motor requires.

 

Thanks!

I’m trying to find out the current draw. The motor isn’t in production yet, and I can’t find the specs.

The Dewalt batteries probably have built in under protection at somewhere below 20v, but likely not below 12 volts.

Yup, I’ve gotten pretty lazy over the years

My longest bicycle ride in 2018 was 107. In other recent years, I usually do 140 miles. My PB is 204 in one day and 490 miles in four days.

I’ll use the kayak to rest and relax.

 

If you're transforming it properly the batteries won't know anything has changed. You'll take some losses on the step down transformer which might reduce runtime a bit. I could see wanting some sort of alarm for a dead battery for your fridge though. I'd say this is totally something you can do with off the shelf components.

 

Thanks! The fridge has auto cut-off to prevent complete battery drain.

 

I went from Auto to MT to Auto and this still gets me every time..

 

I wanted an MT but I drive 25k a year and I didnt want to deal with it in traffic. If I ever get a second car that will be MT so I can have some fun.

 

Saw that before. They were originally asking $26K
It’s an awesome 1st gen.

 

Yeah my 17 wrx was awesome in MT, but as you said.. 422 in bumper to bumper traffic got really tiring every day. Especially as no one else in my family except my dad could drive MT if they had to move the car around the driveway if I wasn’t there.
