Good morning
By chance you still have these? I could use them for a little solar setup project I will be working on at home, connecting multiple batteries…
I am in coon rapids and could pickup.
edit:
It was a plessure meeting you, and thank you!
I have purchased and seen gaylords of strike master batteries from local recyclers. Some of these gaylord boxes are in the excess of 1000 pounds of product inside.
This was a few years ago.
The good about the 50v packs is they did contain 26650 LifePO4 cells. The bad was they did NOT have any sort of built-in “BMS”
Battery management.
Therefore the packs would get into cell imbalanced state rather quickly and become worthless as a 50v pack without internal individual cell balancing.
There was nothing for protection at all…. I dismantled plenty of them as well as the 40v packs. The 40v packs I had actually were lithium ion cells. I am not sure if they changed to LifePO4 cells or added in any addition protections.
My final non professional opinion is they were not constructed to be very safe nor were they constructed for longevity.

March can be weather whiplash
Heads up for next week just after a few more days in the 50’s
this was only a 40-60% chance a couple days ago, now it’s looking more like 0% and some real warm weather followed up with a couple cooler days in the 30’s- low 40’s next weekend, maybe a little light rain late week…
I’m good with that as i’m three months well overdue ready for spring.

the line was cut off at the knee caps before it was built.
It was suppose to go to Saint Cloud.
It also was never built to be profitable, services usually are not, Never asked the city here in coon rapids if our 48 parks are profitable.
Or many of the other services provided around the state
rescue that bucket and give it a new home
There are plenty of folks that may use them as needed or hold onto it for their future generations….
One free listing on one of many venues will do away with it and just maybe make you feel better about it.
Don’t sell them, just give them away free, you will feel much better and it will take no time to find takers 
That must have been KOC missing a wide open nailor.
Those going after KOC is laughable put things in perspective people. 6 win projected team playing with a QB they picked up for nothing after they drafted a guy in the top ten.
$10M means he has made well over half a mil a game….
KOC is being out coached again, if Darnold is struggling, maybe on that 4th & 2 run the ball or jet sweep anything but having him dance in the backfield & take the sixth sack.
I think all that quarterback whisperer has gone to KOC head.
For some reason he thinks he can resurrect Darnold during a game by only putting more pressure on him that fourth and two was sick.
Same song and dance from this franchise, this will be only two wins in the post season out of the last nine attempts.
Yes it’s nice to see the Whitetail in the yard in the fall.
I actually have them coming in my yard throughout the year.
One mama with two little ones as well as another mama with a single and when I’m in the backyard with the dog the little ones actually walk up curious if our dog is a new playmate.
They are so used to us being in the backyard it doesn’t bother them. We have seen various bucks somewhat substantial racks.
Just be careful not to give them that “candy” corn too late into the season as once they start switching over their diet it can be harmful cause bloat and rumen acidosis which can be deadly.
My 4str mercury which is a bit older 2004 acted very similar as well and it wasn’t even part of that service bulletin and it would start right up and idle for a while as soon as you put the coils under a rpm load she would start chugging , and then finally die. Some days it would run fine until all of a sudden it didn’t then I finally figured it out. It’s definitely on my experience turned out being a hairline crack in one of the coil packs.
If you haven’t done so yet definitely do a quick compression check to make sure a cylinder or truth and drop out.
Unlikely but still worth a check
be sure to check the coils.
Mercury did have a service bulletin out and they actually ended up paying/replacing a lot of coils for people.
But I believe that has now since expired.
You could even Google mercury coils and your symptoms are very familiar, at first they likely had reduced performance and then the problem becomes intermittent and it’s usually a slight crack or other in the coil that is also affected by ambient temperature with thermal expansion contraction
KJ Osborn to the patriots one-year deal
Thus far I’m liking some of these moves for the Vikings to be competitive this year, realistically I think they should unload Danielle Hunter, while he’s good this team has been cash-strapped for long enough especially considering the money wasted on the cousins experiment.
Yep, off to Atlanta four year deal and the Vikings were not looking or considering four years.
But I think Kirk cousins can’t do anything until Wednesday at the earliest
180 million, 50 million signing bonus, 100 million guaranteed.
It’s a business and it’s a money grab and I can’t blame him
Yep, you gotta take the points when they are there, that is maximizing each possession in a championship must win game.
The anguish for the lion fans will be painful for a while.
I like being aggressive. But at some point it crosses the line. I think Detroit should have kicked both of those field goals. Mainly because it just gives too much momentum to the opposing team to come away with zero points multiple times like that.
I stand corrected, it was a season to forget and I have
I believe the vikings beat the 49’er with Doobs and also without JJ.
Just saying
Great season pack
That last pass reminds the gunslinger himself.
Killed many of season doing that for the pack & Vikings
GREAT the season is Over – Now to watch the Bears, hope they send the Packers packing.
It was just a matter of time for Mullens to chalk up one more int to his stats. 391 yards and untimely turnovers again.
Where is the sense of urgency here with under six minutes left in the game down by 10 and not even at the 50 yet
A little bit of dual threat mobility that Dobbs brings could helping this game, Lions don’t know his speed.
Meanwhile KOC lucked out that fourth down in less than a yard TD to JJ makes little sense when all you need to do is keep moving the sticks. It got 7 nonetheless.
edit:
What the heck has happened to the D, I understand missing a couple corners but this is just sick
Take Mullens out of the game…
KOC Chandler is getting over 7 yards per carry average you are gonna go for a fourth down pass to a return man.
I’m not totally against going for it on fourth down but those 3 points were valuable
Losing LaPorta for the playoffs will be a huge for the Lions…
while I don’t wish to see players get injured, it’s almost like Karma after the cheap shot hockenson took two weeks ago.
JJ is going to blow a gasket and want to leave the team before the game ends.
Can’t blame him
Time to find a different game to watch, just so painful watching. KOC looks on the sideline remind me of the dumbfounded looks of Dennis Green years ago, except Green would have his hands on his hips
Mullens lol
The death of the 1st drive was on him with the delay
Just give the ball to Dobbs, he is the only backup to actually win a game or two.
All I can say was Hall had no business being in that game as a starter. Not sure what KOC saw this past week to make that decision. But in true Vikings franchise fashion if you’re gonna get embarrassed do it on the big stage. On the bright side today we don’t have to sit there and say next year.
Those were NOT fans of the game, I want to see healthy team matchups.
They may think they are vikings fans
No reason to gloat, we remember the Anthony Barr hit on Rogers and what the the packer season was like after that for you guys.
