>stupid to not have UVLO
I will also say it again:
It depends. It depends on what you're doing and what your requirements are. If for example your application means it is inherently impossible for the batteries to be discharged to anywhere near low, then guess what:
You do NOT NEED UVLO. Instead it might only mean additional points of catastrophic failure.
Secondly: UVLO alone is NOT a BMS. I'm not going to attempt a defi ition of 'BMS' vut it is safe to say a BMS needs to incorporate at least two of the typical functions:
Balancing, UVLO, OVLO, OCLO etc.
If it's a standalone solution that provides only one of those functions it is hardly a 'system'.
But I've already complained above how 'BMS' muddies the water and for some it's all the same and you NEED to have one.
>>
>>2969540
>If for example your application means it is inherently impossible for the batteries to be discharged to anywhere near low, then guess what:

If you are using a lithium battery and you are, somehow, absolutely certain that it can never be over-discharged, over-charged, operated below freezing, experience overcurrent, or go out of balance...good on you. You have some incredibly niche application that represents a vanishingly small portion of the market. Everyone else is better off erring on the side of caution.

Especially when considering the "out of balance" thing. The only packs that aren't really at risk of this are made of extremely expensive, well-matched cells. In other words, the cost of the BMS is trivial in comparison when protecting pricey equipment. Conversely, if you DON'T have such high-quality cells, the BMS becomes much more necessary because they're more likely to have problems.
>>
>>2969545
I think there is a misunderstanding on at least one side and I don't feel it's worth further pursueing the discussion.

>>2968771
>It's reddit tier cargo cult to 'always NEED a BMS / balancer / over- under- etc. - protection'
When does an ESS LFP battery NOT need a balancer and over/undervoltage protection and overtemperature protection? In what scenario is it better to save the $100 and use raw LFP cells without each of these functions?
>>
>>2969561
Fine, I said it more explicitly in another thread:
There exists a group, who, every time a battery is mentioned, talks about house fires, explosions and the requirement to use a non-descript 'BMS'.
I would bet that, ironically, the same people do not have a solid voncept of what a BMS is, how several BMS can differ vastly in features and performance and especially under what circumstances which of those features a BMS can have are required - or not. Let alone would I believe those people understand how those features are implemented or trust them with implementation itself, be it using discrete comparators and FETs or one of the usual one stop shop ICs.
This usually then leads to those people, buying any object that id labelled 'BMS' by chang the vendor and perhaps their buying decission is influenced by something they have heard 'is somehow more better... it has a transformer, or inductors or caps...'.
They will then unironically hook up a 5A balancer to a bunch of series 18650s 'because I am building a 5A pack' and call it 'a BMS'. Meanwhile their application is one where they'd probably be nest advised to slap some dumb Rs on and discharge overcurrent protection and be safe.
So in short: The common was not aimed at the narrow scope of stationary, low maintenance, PV 'house' batteries.
And in any case: Yes, bare cells are not consumer products. People should have understanding of what they are doing and not read some whacko opinions online, be full of themselves and just imitate what they saw or heard. That is cargo cultism and at least stupid.

What should I use for diy kitchen backing that's better than this peal and stick shit that's all over amazon? Hopefully some product exists that I'm missing that's easier than all the youtube tile suggestions involving stripping the paint and using grout/adhesives and leveling nightmares too. I've never tiled a kitchen backing but I'm sick of mine and all these seem like they fall off people's walls in a week and look like rotten ass irl compared to the sales pics.

I laser in all my kitchens to get island countertops shooting straight across all the others. Then I can use an 18 or 20" box to mindlessly set all the uppers (+1.25" for ct). I only have to level once rather than moving the stick around all day.

Most of the time I see tilers just pin up a 1x2. There's no point using tile trim behind the stove unless they're paying like a king.

Alternatively you can always scrape some soldermask off the trace that went to the pad and either bridge it with solder or a jumper wire. But the diode being that close it's a no brainer.
Regarding heat: If anything that joint was too hot, at least I cant think of anything that let's the pad come off the board so easily.
To solder: Generally touch your iron to both the part and pad, add a quick dab of fluxcore solder (you're really adding flux here) it will improve heat transmission. Always think of heat capacity and also thermal insulation of parts. Shortly after add the remaining solder. Wait briefly and remove iron.
That is for general soldering of fairly sigeable and insensitive parts.
Look up how the look of a solder joint reveals issues like cold joints, cooked joints, too little flux etc.
Have flux handy, mane forget about it but the flux core solder might not always be enough.
Practice, practice, practice.

Does anyone here have any Parkside performance power tools? They came up with this little 20v kit of drill, impact drive recip saw, two 4ah batteries and charger for like 180€ and honestly seems plenty for sparse /diy/. And they offer 5 year warranty which is kinda crazy for cheap tools.
I have PP screwdrivers with a metal shank and they are surprisingly good but power tools are a different beast.

i have 3 pieces of that kit.

first of all green parkside is usually shit. Parkside performance is either shit or really great.

1The Drill with 60NM best powerfor price dril out there hands down, its on paar with a 200€ makita for 40€.

2.The Angle grinder on sale for 40€ is great.considering what a makita or Bosch costs.
downside it has a sharp protection meaning if you press to hard it goes out. with the model in you pic you switch it back on. i heard ppl complaining about the model with touch buttons where you have to press 3 button in correct order if it goes out which is a pain in the ass.
also a 4AH or a smart (pouch cell battery is a must.)

3. the SDS drill is pretty weak, it does its job but is slow but again for 50€ compared to a 300€ hilti not bad. for a homeowner totally fine, at work drilling 100 holes in really good concrete definitely not.
the non hammer drill function is a joke it has a slip clutch so forget the SDS wood drills the drill is way more powerful.

Prices are round about what i paid on sale in the sore without batteries

In Texas, auto parts stores and scrap yards pay $15 for each stolen car battery. Plus the scrap yards will buy the cables. Thieves bust the drivers window with a spark plug, pop the hood, then cut out the cables with bolt cutters. My car has a factory cable with multiple wires and costs $279-. My neighbors and I are struggling to stop this in our Houston area. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm looking to get a new miter saw.

The things I want are
>portability
>lightweight
>features that can keep up with professional use ie a bevel and sliding mechanism
>corded

Right now I've narrowed my options down to the Makita LS 0816F and the Metabo HPT C8FSESM. Both saws have an 8 1/2" blade which sounds good to me.

The Makita is $544 and the Metabo HPT is $480. I've had good experiences with both brands although generally find Makita is a little better quality.

What do you guys think?

i would go with a 10" miter saw, the extra cutting capacity is nice. makita does just fine, dewalt is the go to choice but they only make a 12" and that's a big saw. i run a festool personally and it's a 10.25" metric blade. the little saws like those 8.5" are okay for little trim work but they can't cut a 4x4. the bosch 10" is a good saw, but heavier than the makita. i haven't seen anyone using the metabo saws (or hitachi saws) in a LONG time. but the old hitachis from the 90s are legedary for their performance.
