So that's all taken care of now.</p><p>As the weather is warming up here as well, it's time to get back at it.</p><p>I have a battery story to share with you, Now as you may know I am an avid supporter of Victron equipment, I install lots of systems for other people and have never had reason to be upset at anything Victron. That however has now changed, but only with respect to their batteries.</p><p>For this project, I decided to go with the Victron 200Ah 24v HE series lithium batteries, their energy density was very impressive and I liked the way they connect to the dedicated lynx-ion BMS and integrate to other Victron components.</p><p>So I purchased 4 Batteries at a cost of 16,000.00 Euro, I connected them up in the workshop and began testing the whole system on the bench, they were indeed very impressive.</p><p>Until, one day after about 6 months, I noticed that one of the batteries had disappeared from the network, I did all the usual disconnect, reconnect reboot the control system and BMS. But to no avail, it was gone, fully charged but not responding on the data network.</p><p>As this battery was only 6 months old, I contacted the dealer i bought it from, He said no problem it's under warranty, I will get it collected and replaced, it will take about two weeks.</p><p>Now the fun begins, after 3 months and no sign or mention of the battery, I again contacted the dealer, he chased it up with Victron and they came back with the answer: </p><p>"Oh, that's water damaged it will cost 3000.00 euro to repair it's not covered under warranty"</p><p>They later asked whether I wanted to repair it or scrap it. If I wanted it back there was a 350euro charge for carriage back to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now here are some interesting facts:</p><p>Victron now makes a waterproof cover for that battery, it's not on and pricelists but it's available if you know to ask for it.</p><p>Victron has now discontinued selling the battery, so I am now the proud owner of 16k's worth of obsolete batteries before they are even installed in the truck.</p><p>All four batteries were in exactly the same place in the workshop, under the bench, so how was the one in the middle water damaged and the others not ??</p><p>Here is a picture of them, in the dry:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZwtzSKXzCGwu9sFh5K0tlWSCba_5Zm9ozPl6mQS-4t604vO-iW7OsGcoKKhZYjB68JPGO4lTedfy7XvDHwMuuTKPmk2PfTYuJiFIs-TJiRKAN1pNXc-_1jYSTE2LTJH62qWj3L39XJoMH/s2048/IMG_20190731_104853.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZwtzSKXzCGwu9sFh5K0tlWSCba_5Zm9ozPl6mQS-4t604vO-iW7OsGcoKKhZYjB68JPGO4lTedfy7XvDHwMuuTKPmk2PfTYuJiFIs-TJiRKAN1pNXc-_1jYSTE2LTJH62qWj3L39XJoMH/w480-h640/IMG_20190731_104853.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The system was designed to use 4 batteries, And I can't even buy another one now if I wanted to. So now I am left with three batteries I cant use.</p><p>So as far as I am concerned I am advising all my customers NOT to buy Victron batteries, I personally will never buy them again.</p><p>Things sometimes go wrong, That's ok, It's how you deal with it afterward that matters. Victron dealt with this badly.</p><p>Luckily, there are now good BMS systems available so it is getting very easy to build your own good quality battery systems and manage them properly.</p><p>I am in the process of replacing my Victron battery system with Winston cells and a REC BMS. I will have 24v 1000AH, so more capacity for less than half the price of a Victron system. More on this later.</p><p>PS, three batteries and a BMS for sale if anyone wants them.</p>Tatra Overland Truck Buildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13508330371247833768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6204667008593539235.post-32560493007265142212021-01-01T14:51:00.000+00:002021-01-01T14:51:39.862+00:00Outside Kitchen<p> I wanted to have an outside kitchen/barbeque, so I am building it into one of the belly boxes that is behind the last axel. </p><p>it has two stainless steel drawers some storage space and a slide-out gas grill plancha.

I would simply forget and would end up breaking somthing.</p><p>It ended up being a lot simpler than I thought it would be.</p><p>I started by making the tunnel out of 3mm steel, this will be fitted into the front of the body, the face of that tunnel has a seal on it that mates with the flange I made to fit into the hole I cut in the cab.</p><p>As the Tatra's cab is live mounted to the chassis and not rubber-mounted, it doesn't move, so the seal mates perfectly</p><p>Here are a few more pictures.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The sliding frames for the spare wheel lifts are now installed, along with there winches.<br />
<br />
Also added the high level reversing lights and the rear camera for the 360 degree look down camera system.<br />
<br />
Just a little bit of wiring to do now and this part is finnished.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am using a Balmar Marine Alternator 95 Series 140Amp, connected with an MC 624 Regulator, I chose this unit for many reasons:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has a very large output for fast charging of Lithium-ion batteries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has external Battery and Alternator temperature sensors and is able to adjust the charge rate based on the temperature readings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The controller is programmable for every battery type including Lithium-ion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.64px;">Charging lithium batteries from an alternator, in a vehicle, presents some challenges when compared to the straightforward nature of charging lead-based batteries.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.64px;"><br /></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.64px;">1 </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.64px;">Alternator overheating </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.64px;">2 </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.64px;">Alternator rectifier diodes failing because of overvoltage after disconnect by a BMS</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.64px;">Lithium-ion batteries can draw the full 140Amp from the alternator, nearly all alternators will not be able to cope with this for long periods.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.64px;"><br /></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.64px;">When fully charged the BMS disconnects the batteries from the alternator, again not good.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.64px;"><br /></span>
The Balmar MC 624 regulator takes care of both of these.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

The main reason for this "Fin" apart from the fact that it looks cool! Is to protect the winches for the spare wheel mounts from excessive water.<br />
<br />
The spare wheels will stick out 550mm from the rear of the body.<br />
<br />
It also serves as a mounting point for the High level reversing lights and<br />

the rear camera for the 360 deg look down camera system.<br />
<br />
It's sealed and sanded now ready for paint.<br />

<br />
After all the fiberglass cutting, I needed a bit of a break from it, So I moved back to a bit of welding and grinding.<br />
<br />
This is the start of the second spare wheel mounting system, its just a carbon copy of the first one.<br />
<br />
I have now worked out the way to attach the wheel to the brackets as well.<br />

I haven't posted in a while, but work has still been going on.<br />
<br />
Today marks the end of the work on the second side, Passenger side. It's a long-winded process on your own, I can only glue and clamp 1.5mts at a time, so it takes a week to do one side.<br />
<br />
I also got the door hole cut out, It makes it easier than climbing in and out through the back.<br />

I have spent some time on the spare
wheel lifts recently, the wheel and tire weigh 470Kg so a a substantial mechanism is needed to lift them, not to mention bouncing
around on the back of a truck.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
My original plan was to do the lifting
with hydraulics, this was problematic due to not being able to get
the rams I needed, it meant I would have to do two-stage hydraulic
rams, a little over the top to lift wheels.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So on to plan "B" enter
the Superwinch S5000, I have been experimenting with this and it
works just fine, however, I have now decided to use a pully block and
double line pull system to lighten the load on the winch.</div>
