Worth bearing in mind if the reader has a battery order planned.
Turns out she has back to work after the holiday lol
The battery will be ready this weekend
I will shoot the video before ships out

Maybe i will be in the video myself to talk
Just a thought :lol:

I think that would be a very reassuring thing to do for any customer. “Hi Mr whoever, in the guy you’ve been dealing with, here are your batteries tested and ready to be shipped…”

That would be great Colin. I'd hope you will generate some decent business for yourself/company over time. You are the only quasi commercial entity allowed to be operating here.

Your professionalism and effort got you that. :praise:

A little bit of cabling to the second diy pack Isolation switches and we are ready for batteries to go in. :twisted:

Image

Gotta say it again. Vibrating multi tools. 👌

Got a little bit of sanding to do to the clamping boards and a coat of varnish to seal, they'll be good to go. This has been much easier second time around. :D

Image

Edit- job done, standing by for pack build. Good to have the power off the busbars, ready and switch controlled.

The battery has been delay
Due to the heavy snow of Hubei, the original factory of the EVE company
It's on the way now, it usually takes 2 days, but the heavy snow will make it longer

Sorry guys, this week not have the video of the battery before shipment
I have made all the labels and the test ready

Will keep posted and upload the video when it arrives

Thanks

Funeral today at the natural burial ground, distracting myself with other thoughts in the meantime. Jingmeng to Shenzhen battery route.

Dark thoughts of our batteries, Houthi's and the Suez route.

Naturally led to Malcolm Mclaren's Buffalo Gals and where they go. :D
