breakout box for the Elecraft K3/K3S AUX/ACC port) for sale for $129
including free domestic shipping.  I will also ship it internationally for
a slightly discounted shipping cost (my cost less $6.50).

In the same box, I can also include a new and unused 2.5 ft (0.75 m) M-M

If you miss out on this one, brand new Y-BOXs with the new silver-colored
RCA connectors are available at the regular price of $139 + shipping.
There is no difference in performance between these units and the older
ones.

[Elecraft] OT: Lead acid battery voltages, and battery maintainers

2017-08-28 Thread Richard Fjeld
There was a recent thread about lead acid battery voltages relating to K type 
radio usage.
I wanted to make mention that I had a lead acid battery last in one of my cars 
for 12 years without ever failing, and then I carelessly let it freeze up one 
harsh Minnesota winter.  I always wondered why it lasted when others seldom go 
more than four years.

So, I bought some digital voltage displays on eBay awhile ago, and I install 
them portably in each vehicle with a battery including tractors, etc.  I do 
this with an accessory plug wherever possible, to study what the charging 
circuit is doing to the battery.

I have found some very interesting things happening.  For example, my recently  
new Dodge Caravan runs  around the middle of 14 volts.  In my tractor,  I have 
to keep the voltage below the gassing point by having the lights on. I was 
replacing batteries in the tractor quite often.  The list goes on, but is  of 
lessor significance.

A note about battery maintainers;
I have various types and brands. I have automatic charger/maintainers with 
their own quirks.   I bought some maintainers a few years ago from a popular 
supplier, and they were not automatic. They were  maintainers, not chargers.  I 
ruined two batteries with them before I made them dependable.

In the first battery failure, they had an electrolytic cap that was not rated  
high enough for peak voltage.  It would fail and cause it’s circuitry to damage 
the battery. After I found the cause, I replaced the caps in all.

The second battery failure was due to a circuit breaker tripping for who knows 
why. It went undiscovered for too long.  The maintainer had a LED that was 
powered from current flowing in the circuit, now from the battery.  Though 
slight, the drain took down the battery.  I placed a diode in line with the 
lead to the battery in each  to prevent current flowing backward.  It causes a 
drop in voltage, but they were a bit high to begin with. They have since been 
dependable for a long time.

FWIW,

Rich, n0ce

I’ll do the “me too” thing and put in my wish for an ARM-based version of the 
utilities. I run my KX3 and KX2 with RPi 3 machines and it is a bit of a pain 
to boot up a Windows machine, wait seemingly forever to have it finish up it’s 
gazillion patches and fixes, just to do a quick firmware refresh. 

Please Elecraft - there are a LOT of Raspberry Pi / Elecraft users out there!
