Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Batteries
Hi Brian,
I've had many of these feelings about my sub, however
not about forklifts because I heve them in abundance!
I have said for many years that things are important to
you in inverse proportion to the success you have them.
To explain it more simply, I have mentioned to many people
that sex is like money - when you have enough of either one it becomes
less important to you.
I hope you enjoy a simple mans thoughts,
Best Regards,
Jim K

Jim,
I like your trailer, very functional. I'm having to build 3
trailers ! 1 for the finished sub, 1 to move the pressure hull around
for welding. And now I just realized I'm going to have to make another
one so I can shuttle my two ferro halves around ! I've got
the first two. I'm in such tight quarters over in my warehouse that
while I've been using the forklift for much of my moving around now I've
got an overhead beam in my way where the forklift will hit if try and do
what I need to do ! I feel like the steamshovel that dug the
hole he couldn't get out of !
I did a 4 battery setup at 24 volts for about 400.00 as
I recall so 700 sounds in the neighorhood of reasonable.
Best regards,
Jim K

Jim I got a charger from Lester Electrical.
It is a 72v 25amp. It can run on 120 or 240. I am pretty sure they can supply anything
you need. Squeeze your cheeks real tight they are not cheap. If memory serves me
mine was over 700

Hi Frank,
The dome will be the very last thing as access
is much easier without it installed. Probably sometime in mid april I hope.
I have info coming on an onboard charger.
I'm hoping for a unit that will work at 120 volts input, but that may not
be possible because of the size of the battery bank. Should know in a few
days.
Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Jim. That sounds great ! Will you be dunking
in a small lake near home? I sure hope you have someone to video
the whole thing. I just love watching those. It's a classy lookin' sub.
I like the colors too. No chance of being mistaken for a Canadian sub !!!
How soon will you be installing
the plexi dome ? It sure will be a nice view out that big window.
Have you got a charger for your batteries
? I'll need one of those pretty soon too. Maybe we should get
a thread started on that subject. I wonder if a sub needs to be licensed
for just a dunk test. Maybe not if it's in a local lake. Good luck and
keep us informed. Sure sounds like fun is about to happen.
