The Digital Mermaid | Bang! Recovering From Mistakes - Part 6 - Big Battery Build! (Ep. 43) @TheDigitalMermaid | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 minutes ago.
Part 6 of the "Big Battery Build" of the 6x 280Ah LFP batteries that will power my boat!
In this video, I made a couple of mistakes, one of which toasted a buck converter. With the kind help of my friend, I was able to understand my mistake. I spend some time making sure nothing else is damaged.
This was supposed to be the happy finally, but so goes projects. Only matters that we get back up and keep going, eh?
Note: I know about calibrating the voltage on the BMS now. However, I still think it's bad that it's needed.
