Some of them haven't got enough morality to live within their means. They blame others for it.
Lucky for us we don't have to solve these problems.

Lucky for them too. :lol:



Thats not true You pay horrendously. It costs society enormous amounts of money. Guess whare that comes from? The cost of every single thing you buy. Every hard working man is actually paying for about 10 others one way or another. In other words businesses would be more profitable and taxed less, wages would buy much more, and all those working but struggling would be able to manage better and have a 2nd home. They are already paying for 2 anyway.. (housing benefit, free council tax, free prescriptions, free NHS, free spending money for those out of work to buy cars or go fishing, or support for low paid, artificial minimum wage, tax on everything you buy etc etc. Tax on tax. And hundreds of well hidden stealth taxes. That one working man is educating and protecting and caring for other people and 2 other kids as well as his own too.

I'm going away from this now and hope it can steer back to the topic somehow after all this griping.

But we cant. Because you were one of the ones complaining about giving all the details being too hard for you and just want everything to work without having any understanding of anything or did I get that wrong?
We pay and we hope others would do the same for us. That is how it comes about that we are not savages.

And the more of this we do the less money a society has to actually pay because it destroys productivity. And like al the socialist countries the majority suffer and illions starve and then they go broke. Just as was practised across around 1/3rd of the planet for the whole of the last century. Which went really well. A hundred million dead, and abject poverty and a complete lack of any freedome to do anything about it. Just as the same socialist give to the poor approach is doing in venuzuala today. So it simply doesent work. Seems "nice" as an idea. But its actualy evil in the result long term in every single last place it was ever tried. ALL failed and collapsed.

Quite! I wasnt the one griping though. I was trying to explain stuff.

What can I say.

I didn't mean to give that impression. Sorry to all the contributors. I most definitely do not expect any discussion on this forum to dumb down to please me.

Revo is an emotive topic anyway.

This is the stuff that confuses me. What has emotions got to do with logic and reason and how stuff works?
Those are different unrelated things to me.

Have a read here if interested and you may understand this/my communication problem. If I seem rude or insensitive this page will make you understand why!

And the IQ test on there is a real pattern recognition mensa short test. It will not be very accurate but is a good guide rather than the poinless nonsense tests all over the web. I scored almost the same on that as I did in a real mensa test many years back. https://test.mensa.no/

That is very irritating! Why do you insist on always doing that?



What?
Staing the obvious?
Again. Sorry if reality is irritating to you. You either WANT TO KNOW and learn or you dont. You cant have it both ways.


What?

Quoting someone's post but erasing their name which you do 99% of the time. banghead

This is how I was able to get my pl8 working again with a computer. But once the server is shut down It will no longer work. Has anyone considered sniffing packets? Then, writing a very simple Emulator That fakes the original website. ?

Technically more advanced than the usual dumb BMS.
It still cant control the charger. And that it balances all the time regardless of state of charge with UNBALANCES the pack... And that its physically huge. Its intended really for large banks that are intermittently charged like when a boat engine is running, or a Large solar instalation. So unless you want to make space for a huge bit of electronics, configure very carefully (and hope it allows you to prevent balancing below 3.5V. which seems unlikely as thats bot how it works) and charge with a power supply instead of charger and manually turn that off once charge/balance completes it doesent make sense on a chair. And disable balancing once charged. Defeating its very idea of balancing all the time.

It also adds 50mA draw 24/7. So every day takes a quarter of an ah. So every month in storage means 7.5Ah loss per month. Plus what the turned off chair adds. So around 10Ah per month. Thats OK for regular use. Some of my chairs sit unusec for 6 or 7 months at a time. As long as you remember to fully charge and so balance properly, say every 2 month thats not a problem.

PL8 clone maybe... https://www.thunderpowerrc.com/collecti ... -tp1225hvc

But there's something odd, it claims to be 1350w but can only charge at 25A maximum current. :eh:

Because its 12S. Volts x Amps = watts.

that looks like a nice find - 25A is better than nothing and most dont charge more than that anyway - i do 30A most of the times

Ah, I missed the 12S bit BM. :oops: I wonder if it can go higher with 8S packs like we use?

12s yes. The old hyperion did 14S. Thats why I used it for the BM3 chair. But its a big box of mysteries and unknowns untill you tip it all out and see what it does. Theres phone books of code in there. Who knows what that programmer knew about batteries. From experience, not much. Look at all our lead chargers. Of the face of it simple right? Yet I never found one that does what you wanted it to do other than ones that you can program yourself. Or some marine chargers.
