The past couple weeks have had me busy, so this video is getting out a little late. However, while I have been going through and charging up all my SPIM08HP batteries, I came across this one and set it aside until I could bring you guys this video. I can't quite tell if this is a leaking cell, or if maybe something else happened here. What do you think? Stay tuned to this channel to follow my progress with these batteries! One of my near term projects is going to be to start using these batteries with the solar system.

As before, starting off right is half the battle. I run through the basics of the battery equalizer, from what it does, to setting it up, and following up on it to see that it did what it was supposed to! For under $40, this thing is worth every penny! I will definitely be adding more of these to my systems!! Stay tuned to this channel to follow my progress on this system. Now that we are one step closer, the next step is to actually hook everything up and let the tests begin!!

Getting set up is half the battle. Having a plan in place before you put your system together is as important as anything else. Especially knowing the restrictions and limitations to your system will help save you time lost, as well as keep you safe. I go over my planned setup for future testing... and maybe more(camping anyone?). Know your environment as well as the laws that will apply to you. Stay tuned to this channel to follow my progress on this system. Tomorrow I get the batteries hooked up to the equalizer and show that process, as well as the equalizer in action!

This is the project that started it all! Watching Jehu Garcia talk about and break down old laptop batteries to build himself a powerwall that was free and 100% recycled, that motivated me to start all of my energy journey out with sourcing some old laptop batteries that were destined for the trash!

THEY'RE STILL GOOD!!! You may have seen in my previous video, I held up a bag that was labeled "BAD" and had a handful of 18650 cells inside. Well, the way I was testing these cells in the beginning, I would be putting the vast majority of every reclaimed cell in a bag just like that..... BUT I decided to try something else! Check out my new findings and how I am saving over 90% of these cells!

I have looked into these all-in-one inverters for years, however, I started my journey with the MPP Solar inverters..... I talk about how I landed on the Growatt instead and why I am happy with my decision. I also introduce the Silicate Salt batteries. These are possibly my favorite overall battery tech for non mobile situations, or rather when weight is not a factor. Stay tuned to see the progress with the inverter as well as all the upcoming testing we will be doing with these Silicate Salt batteries by Bolt Ultra! In the meantime, check out my websites.

I show you the problems I am having with my old Lion Energy Safari LT. I bought this guy used and it was already a couple years old when I got it, then I used it pretty much every day for months........ then this happened! While not every story has a happy ending, this one does! With a call and a quick run across town, Lion was happy to take a look at my Safari LT and confirm that the issue was in fact a warranty issue! So, while I wait for my new unit to arrive, I'll continue on with some of my other projects, and keep plugging away with my other Safari LT that I have. Stay tuned to this channel for when the New Safari Unit arrives!!! I'll upload a quick unboxing/review of it when it gets here! In the meantime, check out my websites.

In this video, I share my process of getting started into making my Crypto mining green! Equipped with my Lion Energy Safari LT and my Mini Doge Miner from Goldshell, I go through and show you how I'm able to reduce my power bill by harnessing the sun's energy. Ya, it may be only saving me pennies right now, but it's a start! And it has me excited and extremely motivated to get to the next step in this process. Moreover, this process has taught me tons about solar in general, like shade on panels. We'll go through these things in time and I will share all of the things that I have learned. In the meantime, check out our ever changing websites as we continue to grow! BrandonTuxen.com UtahPrepped.com

FINALLY!! This has been many years in the making, but I finally am ready! We look at what I just picked up and will be the gateway to the rest of the content for this channel! I explain the reason behind why I also picked up a battery balancer and touch on some future plans! Many thanks to Ian over at Watts247.com! Ian you have helped me a ton and I appreciate it. Now I hope to be able to spread some of that knowledge and bring more awareness to you and your business!
