For the LiFePO4 package we put in the YEAH BUOY!, their capacity is 90% of rated when discharged at a 1C discharge rate.
Their 100% capacity is stated at 0.2C discharge rate.

Normally people go for the lead package, because shipping lithium batteries over a certain size by air is problematic.

Ihear ya.
Post office doesn't want any lithiums sent by air. Sellers still mail them ALL the time - I know they didn't travel ground from Cali or such.

Want

Alliant Mill for sale - heavy equipment - by owner - sale

When pulled from service it needed bushings. It’s been used as a non powered press for the last 10 years. Local pick up only, need fork lift to move it

Nice!
That was a Damn good machine in its day - I was on one of those for a few months when I was in tool & die. Everything can be reworked. Poor thing looks like a Borg with all that shit strapped to it. Seems a reasonable price - moving it will be a bitch, prolly 2000 lbs. * I have a full-size Reid surface grinder, mercifully I had a neighbor with a Pettibone(crane-ish machine) to lift that bitch off the trailer.

Audi's oil pressure sender exploded on the way to my folks' house for dinner.

That was fun.

Got the Audi re-oil-pressured. It was about 3 qt. low of oil, most of which is still in the undercarriage. Yippee.

New head gaskets? Where's it coming from?

I'll believe it when I see it

The pressure sender failed and pissed oil down the side of the block.

I did the head gasket in May, after I blew it completely out around #5:

T25 turbos on a 300. Fairly straightforward. I like it.
I might play around and make some (and the turbo backing plates) to try and convince a friend to turbo his truck

Nice and clean in there! What'd you say? '94?

'95.

It's clean because it just took a steam bath in hot coolant.

Why are you fuckin' around with those little turbos. You need some big diesel truck turbos.

A: Master of self distraction despite more productive things that could be done. Painful to watch.

Cars over at the shop, they did their estimate and it came out to about $1400 higher, to $4400'ish.

Geico approved it and payed out to the shop for the deposit. Parts are on order.

I'm mildly surprised they didn't total it. KBB says the car isn't worth more than $4500 or so. Guess we just squeaked by.
