Forklift solar battery charging know how
Year 2000 panels were under 100 Watts, 250w is not old
Have you given up the battery testing then?
@@squowse2 absolutely not!
Cool scope!! I have a pair of binocs that can record video, but a scope is way cooler!!! Lol!!
Our battery banks didn't like being bounced around on their original solar trailer - punched a hole through the side by rubbing on battery box... now I am wanting to see the rest of the outside cells. I wonder how much rubbing took place before we got them.
I picked up a 380 amp hour 24 volt forklift battery I am wanting to just run my central air unit. It draws 11 amps at 230 With what I have setup I am able to to produce 8 amps 220 I am pulling 80 amps off the battery. In the daylight I have no trouble with my 3800 watts of panels. Just don’t know if I am ready to try it at night. I live in Ohio so the run time on the battery should only be 20 minutes out of an hour I think I would be pushing my little battery. But I plan on having fun with it
Its dancing!😂
Yeah, Larry!! Go - get'm, get'm!!
All the environmental benefits of solar gone with 1000 ft of shrink wrap😂
what the shit is in that jar?
Pepsi and ice
You really need to use the remote voltage sense cable for your tester. Otherwise voltage drop on the cables is going to cause your low voltage (2V) tests to end early. You can see on that test that the voltage starts off at about 1.75V. Probably about 0.25V voltage drop.
I am learning this. The cba is something new, and just rebuilt the entire connector assembly with larger wire.
@@TheGilleyShow-1 the remote sense is best. Taking the voltage measurement directly from the cell. Essential for a voltage as low as 2V.
I made a trip to the dump today and was hoping to come across one, but alas, no😢. I'll get one before the end of summer. I was just hoping the universe would throw me a bone😂
How do you recharge your battery bank if there is no sun for a week????....I did something a little crazy but it works......I used a 120Volt AC generator, connected a full wave bridge rectifier to the output to make it DC, attached a 1000uF/450 volt electrolytic capacitor , and dumped that power into the solar controller...sure enough that works.....be mindful that the solar controller has a DC voltage input of at least 200 volt as the rectified 120 VAC is 168VDC...it works like a charm... adjust your controller to lower amps to start and keep an eye on your generator output as you increase the amps going into the battery....cheers from Canada
We can actually go longer than a week on battery power.
@@TheGilleyShow-1 Nice, I have 875 AH at 48 volt forklift batteries
I'm glad you're putting out these videos. When I did a search about ifla's all I really found was a guy in the uk and good old Troy with his used ifla (I would imagine most people in the group came across Troy at some point in their research).
Thanks for the information , I like your style much better than most
Show and tell
Great video. Thanks for the information. Could you please put a link on the mechanical desulfation liquid that you bought for $20. I need it.
Have you tried water bathing?
@@TheGilleyShow-1 No! I have not. Please give me more info on how to achieve that. Thank you.
If both batteries are 100Ah why do you say the AGM is twice the capacity of the LiFePO4?
Because one is a C20 rated battery, the other (AGM) is C10 rated. And going by the 50% rule for AGMs, we should have real close to equal batteries.
@@TheGilleyShow-1 The LiFePO4 should be C2 rated. With such a low peukert number it won’t make much difference. Are you saying the C20 capacity of the AGM is double it’s C10 capacity? Thats not how that works. Assuming peukert coefficient of 1.1 the C20 capacity would be 107Ah
@@squowse2 well, we will see how a c20 rated lifepo4 stacks up against a c10 rated AGM...in real life. I will be posting actual results, math be damned.
@@squowse2 after all, this is what this is about. Testing in the real world, to see the actual capacity you get for your dollar. That lifepo4 may win out. We will see.
@@TheGilleyShow-1 it looks like a bit fake. Can you open it up and see what’s inside. LiFEPO4 is tested at C1 or C2
Great video. Thank you Gilley.
Where did you find that huuuuge LiFEPO4 battery? Must be mostly fresh air in that box.
No doubt about that....lolol
@@TheGilleyShow-1 you could have compared better to a single 300Ah LifePO4 cell. About 1kWh. Thats more comparable to your IFLA cell. They’re both building blocks for actual batteries.
Looking forward to this test. Might shoot down some misinformation.
We will see where the chips fall......but, this is about the most, for the least spent 😁
Omg i know this guy 😮 MacGyver of Solar people if you don't know watch his videos and you will learn
I'm watching you
A statement for the newbies out there. That 2V battery, the off screen helper tossed to Gilley, is empty. Full they could weight 100 lbs, and more, EACH.
That cell was an 850ah 2V weighed in at about 130 pounds.
Thanks for all the assistance! KISS - just for people like me! LOL!
The FootLocker Discussions!! I Like IT! Thank You!!
Well done Mate. A graphic comparison of the difference of these different batteries.
Thanks for sharing, Gills!
How many kw of solar do you have?
We are using the biggest powerjack inverter off eBay 48v 15000w/60000w peak, it was new but the casing was bashed to fuck too 😂
Larry my man!! Scott Allen here. As always thanks for the information always good to refresh on this. Photons forever.
Fantastic!
Hope you are getting back on track and healed!
Okay - your mechanic in a bottle leads me to a long research paper I read in regard to the Absolyte GX (VRLA) battery banks that Sandia Laboratories needed to "recover"... because your little bottle of goodness sounds EXACTLY like what they used and called "proprietary" to rehydrate the AGM cells to what they considered between 80% and 90% capacity...hmmmm🤔
Larry - looking forward to seeing the water bath video...never heard of it!
Thank you for posting!! The rest of us are following in your footsteps... some of us slower than others!
Love that busbar behind you... you have to be the gentleman I met on Facebook discussion group... that busbar looks mighty familiar....
Thinking to do this with the Absolyte GX batteries that we picked up and configure them into 48 volt. Not sure if they will release from the casing this easily. I have them on the ground in the sea container. Have to remember which side is positive/negative when re-positioning them. Do these cells have to be in the case or is it possible to leave them out of the casing without damaging them while in use?
Is your AIMS a 24 volt or 48 volt? I thought I heard you say 24 volt but I am unsure. My wife and I need power (off grid) and I am considering this unit for split phase power. I am absolutely a newbie to all of this. We have to supply power to our 50 Amp Service for our RV. Wondering if this unit will work for our purposes.
I am looking into these and the EG4 Charge Controller 100/48
They are or lithium batteries although adjustable, I dunno if they can provide sufficient voltage for bulk charge for forklift batteries.... ©2024 EG4 ELECTRONICS, LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Just learned of these after we purchased (2) Absolyte GX (AGM)(VRLA)... wanted to go 48 volt but the racking on one is different than the other. Thinking to remove them from the casing and setting up without racking to get to 48v. Or - purchase a forklift battery. We are going off grid and I would rather have a 48v system with a ton of storage. Subscribed.
Great video!
Something to be said for 2000 cycles vs. 7000 cycles of recharging, that and size for me personally is an issue.
Thanks!
Love the videos More on charger types please
This is SOOOO cool how can I find out more? I'm so sick of facebook groups full of fake experts and wannabe charlatans
Is this an addition to your 133KWh bank or was part of it Larry?
Thank you very much for your videos. I'm in east Tennessee. I prep for $33 trillion debt against $4 trillion revenue and not one balanced federal budget since 1957 to end the only way I think it can. I pulled the trigger on a 6,000 watt 24 volt inverter thanks to your first video and look forward to making as many forklift battery packs as I can for a grid down situation. I'd like to be able to power our house for days at a time off of batteries when needed, then use my 6,300 watt generator to power it while charging them back up. I want to add solar panels to it, later. I've already been prepping in several ways, for years. I was partners in a drag car in which we'd charge three 12 volt batteries in parallel with a trickle charger, then connect them in series for 36 volt starting. I want to do the two volt batteries the same way. 12 volts for grid up trickle charging, then 24 for powering the inverter/house.
What’s this mean though?
Hi gilley Steve uk here watching your videos great info
Keep up the good work Larry 👏
