Congratulations on putting that contraption together! Yes, very soon the temperatures will be able to get dangerously hot so make sure you have some way of limiting the upper temperature as well as having an overpressure relief valve (one probably came with the tank). A blown pipe spewing steam and...

A little update here. Recall that I have a 27kw electric tankless water heater that took gobs of power to heat water in my house and I had since added a 4' x 8' Alten solar thermal collector to my old 50 gallon water heater that was still in line with the tankless heater but without the gas connecte...

I don't even have to get on a freeway which works really well with this little car :D . I love it becaus...

Btw: What area are you from? Maybe you can find some local help.

Congratulations and very impressive! I'm sure glad I kept a failed OBC on hand, to attempt the now 'cheap and simple' repair documented in that video. This community has reduced the repair cost from over $4000 at a dealer to $400 from a junkyard, and now down to $20 worth of parts. 8-) Thanks, Jray...

Charger Working! It was the right snubber capacitor and the 20 amp fuse exactly as kiev mentioned. My dad helped me out by soldering in a new one. Thanks to everyone who posted on this subject. It was a big help! There was a youtube video that was helpful too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63ZWosS...
