I have a couple Amazon ones that seem to work fine. Just check they are good for 10A.

Good eye! Yes, it’s a mock up… Those are Siemens breakers and the main is an Eaton. Production version will have Bluetooth and WiFi also, which I did not see inside.

Thank you for noticing!! I have migrated to platelets the last couple years. I actively try to wear the wear the shirts in videos to promote donation.

There is a thread of DIYSolarforums where some have managed to communicate with a PC, but I have not seen or heard about firmware update or setting changes being successful.

This is true but I was farther away from the energized bussing than the depth of field on the camera shows. The metal teeth looking vertical parts hold the back of the breakers and are ground with no risk, the energized bussing is a very narrow strip down where the two rows of breakers meet in the panel. I would encourage everyone to avoid doing energized work.

Great idea.

Yes, 120/240 split phase!

Standard P090D cables work, or new 90 degree jumpers they showed in a video presentation, but do not have here.

100%. If you are building your own system you need to be aware of maximum amp draw and design accordingly.

Mine is great for everything but heavy dough.

Yes, internal battery! And still AC300/500 size. 60V MPPT input. There were two XT60 ports. Maybe 1000W each, not confirmed. We were told there is an accessory coming. Yes one expansion port, 6 batteries+ internal storage!

@@DougKremer thanks! But downgrading the mppt inputs is a huge disappointment and kills this as an upgrade option from an AC 300\500

@ I agree, but I’m told there is a high power MPPT input accessory coming.

It is the first 120/240V power station.

Up to six external batteries!

@ So it supports the same number of external batteries as the AC500-same amount of external storage, then?

@@jamesmorrowcjjames6327 Seems so, + one battery worth in the head unit itself.

Yes, I could have charged it much faster if desired.

Spiral mixers are a whole different thing.

Yes, I started with frozen flour and ice slush water. The point of this is extended sloppy dough sounds and visuals, it is not a howto on the best way to build a dough. I usually do a dough in 7-10 minutes.

Bluetti bundle.

What unit are you having issues with? My AC200L, AC300, and AC500 have been flawless in 24x7 operation.

You're welcome!

It was included with my purchase.

So when it was all said and done, did you pay about 1400 USD?

@ I bought it on their old USA website (kysprobaker.com) on 10/1/2024 for 799 USD with included slow boat shipping, it arrived on 11/1. Since then they have merged the sites, introduced a bunch of new models, and rearranged prices and shipping options.

Hey thanks! I went to that website and got it for 899.00, way cheaper. So excited, I'm starting up a pizza food truck. Thanks for your time!!

Wow, no. It was completely clean.

So I did 3Kg flour there at 60%. And it seemed to have plenty of room left, I think 70% would be no problem. I might try 80% just to see.

Still no email reply from KYS!​@@DougKremer

It’s rated for 500g minimum at 60%, so 800g minimum dough. I've done several 1Kg batches with no problem.

There was no option when I ordered it. At that time the 7+ was the only 120V/60Hz model. Now that there are others available I think the 5 would have met my needs just fine also.

I’m glad you are enjoying it as I am! I have not found one yet. KYS did have one on the old site as an accessory.

I have only had it two months and it has been flawless so far.

Sorry, maybe soon.

It’s because of the way I’m hydrating it, to maximize sounds for the video. I waited too long to start adding more water and the starch started gelling, which slows down absorption. When I add water the spinning dough starts squeezing on the center and pushing it up. This hasn’t been an issue in my normal dough making.

That is an interesting combination.

Yes. Check the link. Good sale right now.

That is a great tip!

Thank you.

I ordered on 10/1/2024 with the lower price free slow boat shipping, it arrived four weeks later on 11/1.

It does not, all the switches are manual. I use it fulltime to run those circuits off the Bluetti as a UPS which gets most of its energy from solar and uses grid as backup.

Friction of what type?

It is the Bluetti app.

I did. Ordered on 10/1 and delivered on 11/1.

@@DougKremer Did you try to place water first, then flour?

@ I have before, not sure which I prefer.

Yeah, for this I was more focused on the sounds and visuals and not so much correctly building the dough. I normally hydrate much faster and have had good results with that, basically riding the edge of it coming into the pumpkin. Once the dough starts getting shiny it doesn’t like to take on water so well. I often do hydrate with cubes. Here I was pouring an ice slush mixture from my blender.

I’ve had good luck with 1kg total dough and above.

What do you think about kys pro baker 5, do you think it could handle 500gr of flour

@ I think it is rated for 300 minimum.

I hope you enjoy it.

Riding up the breaker was the result of hydrating too slowly for the purpose of extending the video. I’ve figured out that up to about 65% I can put all the water in at once. More than that and I do the 65% water, and juuust before it all comes together I can drizzle in the rest to keep it on the edge. Once it goes shiny adding water will cause the center to extrude up the bar.

@@DougKremer Yes, I found that initial 55% hydration worked and added the remaining water slowly, but consistently. I also have contacted KYS about moving the breaker bar closer to the spiral. I do not know if the bar is adjustable. I am awaiting a reply and hope to hear from them in early January after the holidays. If not, I may remove the breaker bar and have a machine shop extend the bolt holes on the bar filling in behind to keep them mounted without movement.

@ I think Famag has two swappable bars for their machines, one closer for smaller batches.

Yes! I believe it is on their website as coming soon.

LOL!

Maximum per the manual is 4.8Kg/10.6Lbs. I am editing a video right now showing both the minimum and maximum batch sizes being made. It should publish tonight or tomorrow, stay tuned!

​@@DougKremerthanks, It is a good machine? Any problem with dough climbing the hook?is the distance hook bar very small?

I have found at batches under 1Kg that it will tend to get stuck on the hook a bit. The gap is about 3/8"

Thanks for sharing, maybe for a domestic use Kys 5 will be better choice

@ All depends on how small of a batch you need to make.

Charger1 is a variable voltage power supply, not a battery charger. It would not be a good choice for that. could you parallel two into the solar input of a power station that can accept >10A I suppose so, if your alternator can handle 100A output.

@@DougKremer The Ecoflow Alternator Charger is a similar device to the Bluetti Charger 1, in that they are both "alternator chargers". The Ecoflow supports "reverse charging", which they describe as such: "Recharge your vehicle starter battery or RV house battery using your portable power station."

The Ecoflow does support that. It is a very specific accessory that only works with a couple of their powerstations and no others courtesy of its proprietary connector and data interface, the Bluetti D40 connected to an AC200L will do similar vehicle battery charging from the powerstation. Or you could just use a 12V car charger plugged into any powerstation. The Charger1 was made specifically to be near universal in its ability to charge powerstations at high rates, regardless of brand.

I do not understand the question.

It is effectively a DC power supply, not a battery charger. You can charge batteries with a power supply though if set properly. Charger1's lowest voltage setting is 15V and in 1V increments only, not very suitable as a battery charger.

@DougKremer thx. I thought DC charger (plugged to starter battery) could charge an AGM battery when the van is running like they do with Lithium batteries... maybe the min 15V is too high for AGM?

@@patricksenecal1766 Charger1 is meant for higher voltage input into a solar controller. For the purpose you describe I would look into a DC/DC charger.

@DougKremer ok thx Doug

I got another question. Do you think i could get this charger one, plugged for a power station AND keeping my actual setup with cable from alternator to charge my agm battery? Would that be too much for the alternator? Thx

The 7+ is rated for 3000g/6.6lbs of flour at 60% hydration. At 120g per cup that is exactly 25 cups of flour. I may have to get a big bag of the cheapest flour I can find and see what it will do.
