How to distribute TONS of power all across a LARGE base.

Can you please change this to a post with text and pictures? The background noise in the video is awful.

Do you mean the sound effects that ONI makes or the I-have-a-bad-microphone noise?

Great explanation on the settings for the smart batteries, I have never thought of that.   Sound on the video is great on my tablet, very easy to understand.  

Too bad it's wrong.

The correct setting is 25%-75% because then you have 50% "active" area, and 25% buffer on both sides to allow time for switching on and off.

The explanation in the video only accounts for one of the three issues you must take into account when setting the smart battery. In the video @Tonyroid only explains that because it can sometimes take a while to switch you must have a buffer so it doesn't run dry. However, you must have an equal buffer to prevent wasting power on charging for the exact same reason. And then you must have as large an area without switching as possible to prevent the batteries switching constantly because the tick they take to change state is "dead time" where the batteries neither charge nor discharge.

So 25% - 75% is the only setting that optimizes all three concerns.

It's not an entirely new strategy, but it's an easy-to-understand presentation of it that seemed to be needed.

 

cool video and strat.  thank you for sharing.

I have one question,  why not just use conductive wire  instead of the heavy watt one when running it to the fridge.

A conductive wire can only carry 2kw. The banks of fridges take 20kw (or 10kw), so it would overload.

Aw man. I hate when I'm wrong.

I'll have to go experiment with batteries some more. I'm surprised to hear that there's a dead time during switching that prevents charging, that certainly changes things.

Well. More incorrect than wrong per say.

I was surprised too but if you have a power supply of for example 12KW precisely. And a load of 12KW precisely. Then the batteries will start running dry faster than the run off can account for which must mean there must be some switching "dead time". However, it doesn't happen while you're looking at it, ie. have the circuit in the field of view, only when it's out of view.
