Transferring energy from one battery, to another, through wires.

Sir ypu inspired me to do something similar. I dont like seeing free energy going to waste. My question is were there any other minor upgrades u did to your setup.
You probably wont read this but there is custom TS80 firmware for 12V and 5V support which then makes it really fast to warm up
Wouldnt it be much easier and more elegant just to put another small PV-Panel at the outside light instead of laying 20+ m of wire to load the smaller battery? The sun is available everywhere – why not use this lucky situation 🙂 I would guess the voltage drop on the wire would be that much, that it tooks ages to leverage the batteries in this is not very efficient either.
Be careful! Now China also makes iron cables, they have an unreasonably high resistance. But they are easy to spot with a magnet. The last cable I bought, with Banana connector and Alligator Clips, was unfortunately for my component testing instrument. 1 m. (40 inch) cable = 1.5 ohms.
I enjoyed the video, learning about the resistance in the wire. would like to see the supercap conversion you mentioned.
If that cable is aluminium, soldering to crimp connectors is a total waste of time. They will likely fatigue and crack faster than you can boil a kettle.
Can you share what that quick change usb thing is please? Great video very interesting.
Isn't the meter performing the same operation you're doing with your power supply when measuring the resistance? Why would you assume the meter would be less accurate?
Tinned copper wire – from Homebase? Yo must be dreaming – lol
Does freezing affect supercapacitors?
If you had a large garden you could have had a Solar farm of Photo Voltanic panels to keep your batteries at full charge.
