In this video, I will offer my experience and opinions on who is lying to you in the lithium deep cycle battery market. Unfortunately, there is a ton of confusion and it is almost impossible to tell quality between brands... at least on paper. So where are the lies and confusion coming from and how do you deal with it? #lithiumbattery #lithiumbatteries #gradeb 00:00 Introduction 00:13 Disclaimer 01:04 The Problem 01:25 Supply Chain For Authentic Grade A Batteries 02:28 Supply Chain For Unauthenticated Batteries 02:54 Supply Chain For DIY Batteries 03:20 Aliexpress Scams 03:58 More Explanation on Battery Assemblers 04:44 Getting To The Point 06:32 Summary of Risks and Conclusions Thank you to Sun Fun Kits (SFK) and MillerTech for consulting on this video!

In this quick update video, I will show you some slow progress I have made on the solar powered work truck. Money issues have slowed this project way down but it is still moving forward and still working great. I had hoped to add in a permanent battery and charge controller to the mix before this trip but it didn't happen. I'm still working on an enclosure solution. Hopefully next time! #solarpowered #worktruck #solarenergy Please support my channel by shopping my web store & affiliates: https://store.ldsreliance.com https://bigbattery.com/?ref=76 https://www.amazon.com/shop/ldsreliance http://www.energysage.com/p/ldsreliance Donate or join the discussion on Discord: https://www.patreon.com/LDSreliance https://www.paypal.me/ldsreliance https://discord.gg/xxPKCFzZzb

In this video, we will take a brief look at two companies bringing Sodium Ion batteries to the mass market and whether or not these new batteries can replace lithium ion. CATL and Chery are launching an electric vehicle soon using them and I am sure sodium ion batteries will start showing up all over. But I'm not sold on a complete replacement. #sodiumion #lithiumbattery #catl Please support my channel by shopping my web store & affiliates: https://store.ldsreliance.com https://bigbattery.com/?ref=76 https://www.amazon.com/shop/ldsreliance http://www.energysage.com/p/ldsreliance Donate or join the discussion on Discord: https://www.patreon.com/LDSreliance https://www.paypal.me/ldsreliance https://discord.gg/xxPKCFzZzb

In this second video in the Solar Powered Work Truck series, I will show you how I mounted the first solar panel to the truck on the bed rails we installed last time. I had to design a bracing system for the panels since I could not find any panels that were the perfect length between the rails. After installing the first panel, I'm going to spend a few months testing the setup before mounting the second panel and working on the electronics. #solarpowered #mobilepower #offgridsolar #solartruck 00:00 - Introduction 00:12 - Recap 00:36 - Finding Some Clamps 01:06 - The Solar Panels 01:28 - Fabricating The Mounting System & Installing The Panel 02:57 - Finished Setup 03:48 - Components For Next Video 04:11 - Conclusion Please support my channel by shopping my store: https://store.ldsreliance.com (BATTERIES & SOLAR) If you want to donate and get extra perks: https://www.patreon.com/LDSreliance https://www.paypal.me/ldsreliance Support some of my affiliates below that offer great products: https://bigbattery.com/?ref=76 https://www.amazon.com/shop/ldsreliance

**PLEASE LEAVE A LIKE AND YOUR THOUGHTS** In this episode of Reliance talk, I discuss how to think about self reliance and how to tackle progression. We talk about realistic goals and why thinking about self reliance as just "relying on yourself" is not complete. Then we talk about some topics that you may not have thought of or that you may have ignored that you really should try to improve in, such as financial, employment, and entertainment. #selfreliance #podcast #vlog Please support my channel by shopping my stores for your solar, battery, and off-grid needs: https://store.ldsreliance.com (BATTERIES & SOLAR) https://jerichobatteries.com (LITHIUM BATTERIES) https://ldsreliance.myspreadshop.com (MERCH) If you want to donate and get extra perks: https://www.patreon.com/LDSreliance https://www.paypal.me/ldsreliance Support some of my affiliates below that offer great products and services: https://bigbattery.com/?ref=76 (Use this link for 10% off!) https://www.amazon.com/shop/ldsreliance http://www.energysage.com/p/ldsreliance

In this episode of Reliance talk, I discuss the habit that some of us have or used to have with depending on Google for our "do it yourself" projects and not being truly self reliant. While attempting a project yourself with the help of an online guide is certainly a good thing and does get you moving in the right direction, it isn't ideal and can be a crutch if it is used too often or too long. We all need to be able to truly rely more on ourselves and have confidence in our abilities and our own resources instead of taking the easy way out of looking something up. Looking it up may not always be an option. #selfreliance #podcast #vlog Please support my channel by shopping my stores for your solar, battery, and off-grid needs: https://store.ldsreliance.com (BATTERIES & SOLAR) https://jerichobatteries.com (LITHIUM BATTERIES) https://ldsreliance.myspreadshop.com (MERCH) If you want to donate and get extra perks: https://www.patreon.com/LDSreliance https://www.paypal.me/ldsreliance Support some of my affiliates below that offer great products and services: https://bigbattery.com/?ref=76 (Use this link for 10% off!) https://www.amazon.com/shop/ldsreliance http://www.energysage.com/p/ldsreliance
