Ok, so LTO's are better than LA's. But they are still less energy dense than LFP's by quite a bit. Running 80% would be even less energy dense. But a lot comes down to price per Wh too, and the kind...

Lithium titanate is nowhere close to lead acid. It's the same as lithium iron phosphate per Ah just lower voltage. 6 in series will be 50% heavier. 14.4V on a 6S pack is 80% charge which is not that...

If you're going Lithium, you NEED LiFePO4. Lithium Titanate can work, but it's not optimal. Li ion is not at all optimal.

The thing is, you don't want or need to go over 15V with your charging...

I think first of all, on a non-electric or hybrid car, 100W panel might be too much. It's not enough to shut off the alternator completely for a long time, but it will quickly fill the battery.

If the alternator is spinning it will contribute to engine drag, even unloaded. @ 3mpg it isn't noticeable, but as you get higher in the distance per volume of fuel it becomes apparent. You may not...

You'll need to disconnect the panels when the truck isn't "on" or the batteries will cook. Either that, or get a charge controller.

Since the battery is always nearly fully charged, you'll get...

While I'm thinking about it, EGR serves a fuel economy function: it reduces pumping losses by partially filling the cylinders with effectively inert gases. On Honda's high performance engines that do...

First of all Level 2 @ 40A is four times the power of level 1 @ 20A. 220V is actually 240V. 40A is actually 32A. 240V x 32A = 7,680W. 20A is actually 16A, but most level 1 EVSE's only draw a maximum...

Can someone suggest a direct link to some info on this ?

I installed a kill switch in my Metro in early 2015, when the car had ~130,000 miles. Ever since then, I've used P&G with EOC 100% of the time. That's right: no "normal" driving for 6+ years. Even...

I saw an interview with the energy secretary about higher gas prices.
She is clueless. Aerohead would make a better energy secretary.

The color is also significant. But you can't just eyeball it, it needs analysis.

Beetles only need 2 1/2 quarts, so I used to change it as soon as it darkened.
