Speaker 1: Hey, before we get started, be sure to head over
Speaker 1: to ham Radio two dot com forward slash email dash
Speaker 1: sign up to join my email list of over nineteen
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers, where I like to send emails about upcoming events,
Speaker 1: upcoming shopping deals, keep you updated with all the stuff
Speaker 1: going on with my videos. Once that list reaches twenty thousand,
Speaker 1: I will be doing a giveaway of another HF radio
Speaker 1: sign up today and thank you for the support. This
Speaker 1: is another battery that was sent to me by a
Speaker 1: company called PyCon sie ko n. This is the size.
Speaker 1: This is lithium marninfoss fate battery. This is the size
Speaker 1: of what you would probably consider car battery. I forget
Speaker 1: what the group number on that is, but some of
Speaker 1: these new hundred amp hour batteries are smaller, lighter, group
Speaker 1: twenty four, maybe the mini size, something like that. This
Speaker 1: one is full size, what I would call a full
Speaker 1: size battery. And we're gonna put it today on the
Speaker 1: West Mountain Radio Software. We're gonna test it out and
Speaker 1: see how many amps it comes in out. We're gonna
Speaker 1: I made sure I charge it up fully over the
Speaker 1: last weekend. Today is Monday. We're gonna test it and
Speaker 1: we're gonna see what it does right now. Okay, So
Speaker 1: we've got it connected to the West Mountain Radio CBA
Speaker 1: five battery test. The picture of this device down here
Speaker 1: at the bottom is what this device looks like. You
Speaker 1: can pick this up at West Mountain Radio if you're
Speaker 1: interested in doing battery tests on your own. It's really
Speaker 1: kind of up to you what you want to do
Speaker 1: with that. First of all, I gotta name it, okay,
Speaker 1: because it always comes up as test one. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call it psychon one hundred, okay, and they'll just call
Speaker 1: the the file name the same. So I named the
Speaker 1: file name psychon one hundred. You can call it whatever
Speaker 1: you want to. And then I'm gonna click on detect,
Speaker 1: and it detects this battery as a thirteen point three volt.
Speaker 1: I set the capacity myself as one hundred amps, and
Speaker 1: it detects four cells, which is correct. Generally lithium iron
Speaker 1: phosphate batteries are four cells. There's some exceptions to that,
Speaker 1: generally that's true. So we're gonna click on tests and
Speaker 1: right down here at the bottom right corner, it says amplifier.
Speaker 1: And I've always run these tests with no amplifier, but
Speaker 1: you can run it as as if you're having a
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand, two thousand or four thousand watt amplifier.
Speaker 1: That'll be a fun test. I'm gonna do one of
Speaker 1: those one of these days. In fact, put a comment
Speaker 1: blow and let me know which battery you would like
Speaker 1: me to see test with a killawatt amplifier. That might
Speaker 1: be a fun test. So I'm gonna click on start,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna start right there. Like I said, I
Speaker 1: charged this battery up last night. It came up at
Speaker 1: right about thirteen point two. Thirteen point three volts is
Speaker 1: what it's shown. Thirteen point twenty one volts is what
Speaker 1: it's showing right now, it says line line data thirteen
Speaker 1: point two volts. Okay, so one hundred amp hours. A
Speaker 1: test of one amp per hour should take about one
Speaker 1: hundred hours if it's rated at capacity, and that's just
Speaker 1: over four days. So we're gonna put the camera on
Speaker 1: pause and i'll see you in four days, four plus
Speaker 1: days later. To be exact, it is one hundred and
Speaker 1: one point one two two hours later, amp hoers. This
Speaker 1: test was very successful. One hundred Empire battery coming in
Speaker 1: at one hundred and one point one two amp hours.
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure what this part is here and
Speaker 1: zoom in on that right there. I'm not I've seen
Speaker 1: one or two tests do something like that in the past,
Speaker 1: where it kind of it's almost like like RFI or
Speaker 1: some sort of interference with it. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's something in the software or what that is.
Speaker 1: But hey, you know what, it didn't appear to affect
Speaker 1: the longevity of the test. It didn't. You know, if
Speaker 1: that had been like a lag or something and taken
Speaker 1: five or ten amp howers off the test, then I
Speaker 1: might be somewhat concerned and want to run it again.
Speaker 1: But since it came in at one hundred and one
Speaker 1: amp hours, I don't think I can complain. It looks
Speaker 1: like it kind of started to dip around here around
Speaker 1: twelve point five volts, and it took a nose dive
Speaker 1: right there when it ran to eleven volts and ten
Speaker 1: point five volts right there, the very end of the
Speaker 1: scale right there, that is where the software is set
Speaker 1: to cut off automatically. So test successful. I'd say this
Speaker 1: is a successful test of one hundred amp hour battery
Speaker 1: once again. Special thanks to Psychon or however you say
Speaker 1: their name Sie Koin. They did give me a discount
Speaker 1: code and I will put that link with coupon code
Speaker 1: in the description below, so go check them out again.
Speaker 1: This is a full size what I would call a
Speaker 1: full size battery, about the size of a car battery roughly. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's not gonna be small, it's not gonna be compact,
Speaker 1: but you might not need something like that. You might
Speaker 1: not need something small and compact, depending on what your
Speaker 1: application is. That's totally fine. There are applications for all
Speaker 1: different shapes and sizes of battery and that's what this
Speaker 1: one is. So put a comment in the description blow
