But how do we buy at HK prices?

you dont - thats the problem - on HK can get it - then have to ship to you - i believe

[Burgerman]

And since it can do 60V better not turn it up to full by mistake or pl8!

And likely or

[shirley_hkg]

Another kit can do 120V , for charging E-bikes .

[Burgerman]

Marvelous! How well designed electrically/how reliable do you expect it to be?

Tempted to buy one to build for fun. How much with shipping?

[steves1977uk]

Having to do 4 minute surface mounted resistor/capacitor is a challange to me , but I'm happy when successed .

Someone has made a new case for it :

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=20 ... 1094582108

[Burgerman]

Well it all works regardless. But if noisy fans bother you or you want to charge slower then you can leave it at 50 and just choose a lower amp charge rate.

Work out what will happen like this:

If you charge at 28.20V for MK x 12Amps thats = 338 watts. You just multiply the numbers to get watts. Plus about 10% losses due to heat/fans etc.

So if your power supply is set to 12V then you just divide that 338 (+10% 34w extra so now = 372w,) by the 12V to give Amps. So its going to need 31 approx Amps.

[shirley_hkg]

Kits have 2 versions ; 120V@25A / 60V@50A .


Postage is @HK$

[Burgerman]

Seriously? Seriously?


How did you send those wheels?

Looks perfect. But I cant understand the paage. Gow much is that and how do I get one at a sensible price?

[LROBBINS]

Today's exchange is 1 GBP = 10.87 HKD, so Air Parcel comes to £48.

[Burgerman]

Thats not too bad. But duties... Will add another 40 to whatever figure they dream up...

And I still dont know what I am clicking on!

Poor British customers
In my country, buying from taobao is quite easy and free of all tax/fee. Shipping cost is just a few dollars. You need a truly free and fair trade like our 'socialism'

[Burgerman]

I would agree except that a free system without taxes is actually called capitalism. The reason you can now buy and sell is because you are transitioning from a socialist economy to one that is allowing the enemy, capitalism, in limited but increasing amounts. Its why things are improving over time in your country.

The reason we get ripped off is because we stupidly joined the EU, a closed shop system with impossible regulations and endless rules. A stupid socialist non democratic interfering dictatorship run by a controlling non elected bunch of left wing socialists that are trying to recreate a socialist superstate like the cold war communist Soviet setup... We all know that worked out just great The marxist dream of total equality never works and sends everyone bankrupt and starving but theres always an endless stream of new idiots that think it can And thats why I recently voted for brexit to get away from that moronic vision, its crap! And get back to running our own country properly.

Did you know that the non elected socialist EU have 108 regulations on how to manufacture/trade a pillow? And 15 more on the pillow case? And 50 more on the toothbrush? Seriously.

Yes fancy case! 240vAC
60V out.

I can do the mods with your translation I think.

Will resume shopping next week . Final call for any change of orders .

Nope! As is.

[steves1977uk]

If I ordered the PSU+mod, how hard is it to install the mod? I usually get my Brother to fit and solder things, but he doesn't have a lot of patience if things don't go as expected

Steve

[Burgerman]

Depends what you power it with.

I find this part is the hardest , because the components are really small, 1 X 2 mm . Just remove 3 and re-solder 2. Have to work under a magnifing glass .

A neddle-sharp soldering tip too.
