<v Speaker 1>upcoming shopping deals, keep you updated with all the stuff

6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>going on with my videos. Once that list reaches twenty thousand,

7
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>I will be doing a giveaway of another HF radio

8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>sign up today and thank you for the support. This

9
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>is another battery that was sent to me by a

10
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>company called PyCon sie ko n. This is the size.

11
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 1>This is lithium marninfoss fate battery. This is the size

12
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 1>of what you would probably consider car battery. I forget

13
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 1>what the group number on that is, but some of

14
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>these new hundred amp hour batteries are smaller, lighter, group

15
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, maybe the mini size, something like that. This

16
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 1>one is full size, what I would call a full

17
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 1>size battery. And we're gonna put it today on the

18
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>West Mountain Radio Software. We're gonna test it out and

19
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 1>see how many amps it comes in out. We're gonna

20
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I made sure I charge it up fully over the

21
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>last weekend. Today is Monday. We're gonna test it and

22
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna see what it does right now. Okay, So

23
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>we've got it connected to the West Mountain Radio CBA

24
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>five battery test. The picture of this device down here

25
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom is what this device looks like. You

26
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>can pick this up at West Mountain Radio if you're

27
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>interested in doing battery tests on your own. It's really

28
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of up to you what you want to do

29
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>with that. First of all, I gotta name it, okay,

30
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>because it always comes up as test one. I'm gonna

31
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>call it psychon one hundred, okay, and they'll just call

32
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>the the file name the same. So I named the

33
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>file name psychon one hundred. You can call it whatever

34
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 1>you want to. And then I'm gonna click on detect,

35
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and it detects this battery as a thirteen point three volt.

36
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I set the capacity myself as one hundred amps, and

37
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>it detects four cells, which is correct. Generally lithium iron

38
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>phosphate batteries are four cells. There's some exceptions to that,

39
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>generally that's true. So we're gonna click on tests and

40
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>right down here at the bottom right corner, it says amplifier.

41
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 1>And I've always run these tests with no amplifier, but

42
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you can run it as as if you're having a

43
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>five hundred thousand, two thousand or four thousand watt amplifier.

44
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 1>That'll be a fun test. I'm gonna do one of

45
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 1>those one of these days. In fact, put a comment

46
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>blow and let me know which battery you would like

47
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>me to see test with a killawatt amplifier. That might

48
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>be a fun test. So I'm gonna click on start,

49
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna start right there. Like I said, I

50
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>charged this battery up last night. It came up at

51
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>right about thirteen point two. Thirteen point three volts is

52
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>what it's shown. Thirteen point twenty one volts is what

53
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>it's showing right now, it says line line data thirteen

54
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 1>point two volts. Okay, so one hundred amp hours. A

55
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>test of one amp per hour should take about one

56
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred hours if it's rated at capacity, and that's just

57
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>over four days. So we're gonna put the camera on

58
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>pause and i'll see you in four days, four plus

59
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>days later. To be exact, it is one hundred and

60
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>one point one two two hours later, amp hoers. This

61
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 1>test was very successful. One hundred Empire battery coming in

62
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>at one hundred and one point one two amp hours.

63
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exactly sure what this part is here and

64
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>zoom in on that right there. I'm not I've seen

65
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 1>one or two tests do something like that in the past,

66
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 1>where it kind of it's almost like like RFI or

67
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 1>some sort of interference with it. But I don't know

68
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 1>if that's something in the software or what that is.

69
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 1>But hey, you know what, it didn't appear to affect

70
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the longevity of the test. It didn't. You know, if

71
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that had been like a lag or something and taken

72
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>five or ten amp howers off the test, then I

73
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 1>might be somewhat concerned and want to run it again.

74
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>But since it came in at one hundred and one

75
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>amp hours, I don't think I can complain. It looks

76
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 1>like it kind of started to dip around here around

77
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>twelve point five volts, and it took a nose dive

78
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 1>right there when it ran to eleven volts and ten

79
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>point five volts right there, the very end of the

80
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 1>scale right there, that is where the software is set

81
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to cut off automatically. So test successful. I'd say this

82
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>is a successful test of one hundred amp hour battery

83
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>once again. Special thanks to Psychon or however you say

84
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>their name Sie Koin. They did give me a discount

85
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>code and I will put that link with coupon code

86
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 1>in the description below, so go check them out again.

87
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>This is a full size what I would call a

88
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>full size battery, about the size of a car battery roughly. Okay,

89
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>so it's not gonna be small, it's not gonna be compact,

90
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>but you might not need something like that. You might

91
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 1>not need something small and compact, depending on what your

92
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 1>application is. That's totally fine. There are applications for all

93
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 1>different shapes and sizes of battery and that's what this

94
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 1>one is. So put a comment in the description blow

95
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 1>let me know if you have heard of this brand,

96
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.000
