Hello from South Africa

Hi

My background:

I was a pc tech, a few years ago i got sick so today I am in a wheelchair.

My dad was a high current electrician so I grew up with electrics, but not electronics

My goal is to add a backup to my aquaponics setup because here in South Africa the power is very unstable I would like to also change my electric wheelchair from SLA to 18650 packs

I know a little knowledge can be very dangerous, i have been researching quite a lot and found this forum, after lurking for a wile i joined and i am ready to learn more. I have some 18650 cells that i am testing at the moment, here in South Africa cells are very hard to come by or very expensive, me being on a disability grant can not go out and buy what i need, i must use what i have

Please help me to setup my backup in a save way

Hey Kimbo,

How's the process going? I'm also here in SA, in CT.. whereabouts are you based?

HI Guys
I am Based in Jobuge, could be great to get a few of us together

I am very sorry that such an illness has befallen you. How are you doing with your hobby? Electrics are really fun too, you just have to get into it. If you grew up with it, you know that it can be really fun to do. I am sure that you are proud that your father was an electrician. My father was an electrician too, and I followed his footsteps. I worked for charlotte nc electricians, for a really long time, and it was a really fun experience. I learned a lot there, there were some professionals working there, and there was no problem we couldn't solve.
