00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:15.439
The Ham Radio two point zero audio
podcast rip. Thank you for downloading and

2
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.239
listening to this podcast. So basically
what I do is I take all the

3
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.679
audio clips out of my videos and
upload them to spreaker, and then from

4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:30.160
there they're spread out to iTunes and
SoundCloud and now Amazon Audible as well.

5
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.520
But I want to welcome you and
thank you for joining the audio section of

6
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:39.679
this series on Ham Radio. I
hope you enjoy it, and I would

7
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.560
appreciate you leaving us a comment or
a review on whatever podcast service you're listening

8
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:57.560
from. Thank you in seventy three, I hope you enjoy it. This

9
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.719
is the new red Odo one hundred
mini. I wanted to compare it to

10
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.280
this one here. This is their
red Odo one hundred smart battery. It

11
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.519
has a self heeter in it and
it has a power button that you can

12
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.480
turn the battery off and on.
But I asked him, I said,

13
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.000
they told me it was They call
it a smart battery, and I'm like,

14
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.159
does it have bluetooth? And they
said no. I'm like, typically

15
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.439
when you say something smart like this, that means it has bluetooth, like

16
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.560
a smart charge controller or smart battery
or something like that. I guess you

17
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.799
can kind of define out however you
want to. But this is their hundred

18
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.439
mp Hower smart battery. This is
their hundred MP hour mini, and this

19
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.840
is the one we're going to talk
about today. It is smaller. It's

20
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.560
like ten percent lighter and thirty percent
smaller. They were kind enough to send

21
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.640
me this battery. You can check
all of the stuff they have in the

22
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.879
link in the description below, and
there's a discount coupon. Also, it's

23
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.159
usually somewhere around four to five percent. They change that sometimes, so depending

24
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.200
on when you're watching this video,
you might be able to save four percent

25
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.159
or five percent off of the even
if they have a sale price with the

26
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.040
coupon code of Ham Radio. So
check the link in the description below,

27
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.920
depending on when you're watching this video. But I want to do a capacity

28
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.039
test for this one hundred damp Hower
battery. They told me it should be

29
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.919
rated right at one hundred mp howers. I did the capacity a test on

30
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.360
their fifty battery and it came in
right over sixty MP hours, so I

31
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.240
was incredibly happy with that. I
asked them if I would get the same

32
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.159
results with this one. They said
no, this one's actually rated closer to

33
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.680
what it's actually advertised at. I'm
like, great, that's fine because it's

34
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:29.960
the smallest one hundred damp live pop
four battery that I have ever seen.

35
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.759
So let's take a look. Well, it's good to be in the shack

36
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.439
with the air condisher and out of
the cicadas. This is ka is.

37
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.159
They're kind of soothing, but they're
loud, all right, So red Odo

38
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.360
one hundred many, we're gonna hook
this up. It's right there, there

39
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.520
we go. We're gonna hook this
up to the West Mountain Radio software that

40
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.639
we normally use. We've got battery
type as life P four. Voltage is

41
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.919
thirteen dot eight, capacities one hundred
and sells or four. I'm going to

42
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.840
click on detec to haven't done that
yet. Okay, it reads the voltage

43
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.000
is thirteen dot four. Wait,
and age don't really matter, so they

44
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.360
cut off. Voltage is ten.
I could kind of change that to like

45
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.800
ten dot five or ten dot eight. I guess the BMS will cut it

46
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.800
off. I could put that at
zero and the BMS. Provided the battery

47
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.000
we're testing today has a good BMS
red Odo does, some brands may not,

48
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.240
the BMS should cut it off when
it says, oh that's enough,

49
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.840
you're gonna damage the cells. We
don't want to go that low. You're

50
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.159
done, So the bms should always
take care of your battery for you.

51
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.280
So we'll see. All right,
let's click on start. This is one

52
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.800
hundred amp hour battery, which is
going to take just over four days because

53
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.080
twenty four hours a day times four
is ninety six. So it's gonna take

54
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.439
four days and four hours for this
test to complete, presuming that we get

55
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.919
the results we're expecting. So once
again, thank you to red Odo.

56
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.879
Check the link in the description below
for this specific battery and for the coupon

57
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.759
code that sometimes changes over time,
where you can save a four to five

58
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:59.000
percent additional to the price you see
on their website with the code of ham

59
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.120
Radio. All right, holding true
to its word, red Otto, the

60
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.960
one hundred mini lives up to extandard
several uh like like other red Otto batteries

61
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.120
I've tested in the past, this
one comes in at ninety eight dot one

62
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.959
five nine amp hours twelve hundred and
seventy six dot one for what hours,

63
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.199
for an efficiency rating of about ninety
eight percent, just over ninety eight percent,

64
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.959
So that's I'd say that's pretty good
if you look right here. I

65
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.600
don't know if I can zoom in
on that or not. Right there,

66
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.639
yeah, right there. I bumped
it while it was running. It took

67
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.040
just over four days to run this. I bumped it while it was running

68
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.279
right there, so that little spot, it acted like it was going to

69
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.920
stop and I was gonna have to
start the test over again. But I

70
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.600
paused the software. You can,
you can while the test is running.

71
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.160
It doesn't. It's great out right
now it's a it's gotta pause button.

72
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.839
You can pause the test. You
can stop the test and start the test.

73
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.240
I think if you stop it you
have to start over again. But

74
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.680
you can pause the test. So
I pause the test, reseated my connections

75
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.839
and started again and it kept going. So hats off to that software that

76
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.600
I use. The software and the
CBA five from West Mountain Radio that I

77
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.920
use. Red Odo comes in flying
