Ya so I opened up the new ones and compared them to the bad ones. The only difference was a single SMD capacitor that they had doubled stacked. Best reading I couldget was 5.6nf. So I went hunting for a 10nf or 12nf off an old motherboard. After switching them out on the two defective PIR's...

The e-bay seller sent out some replacements and they are working fine so far.

Just a brief update on the PIR. It works fine using 9volts. Not what I need but it does work.

Ya I was hoping having ones that worked like this would have kept this project low cost. I am hoping others will work. There are rated up to 30volts. It is just strange that they function as to turn off after the set time but go right back on. I tested it with the 12 volt LED strip this...

It should work well for what I need it to do. Pretty much all I have is in the pictures above. I am really needing advice on what charge controller and other items I will need to complete this 24v project.

Well I am finally getting around to posting my power wall build. Im hoping to get advise on how to go forward. Im trying to do this as cheaply as possible. My build is not as big as most on here. What I am hoping to do is add an additional LED lights to the kitchen, pantry and computer...

Is that 10 for 1000?

Nice build. This is along the lines of what I want to do. Something small. I am looking at running just the overhead lighting in my Workshop and Kitchen. Converting (Mix use 110v) them to LEDs. Lights to turn on with motion sensors when dark. I plan to make a similar all mount to...

Just stopping by to say hi from Colorado USA. Just getting started in the process. Collecting 18650's wherever I can find them and testing them. My main goal is to use them to power inside lighting for a few room in the house. Conversions to LED's etc.
