Good Question. I don't know if it's water proof so I would bring it in if there is a heavy rain storm. Otherwise, if only mild rain and no wind, I wouldn't bother. Cheers 🍻

@@Now-Review-This thanks, I guess I’ll have to think about this since I can’t think of a simple way to add some kinda cover that hangs outside and blocks rain from getting in.

20k to 60k? No human can hear that high, we stop at 20khz, and most stop well below that. But there are some very specialized microphones that are sensitive beyond 20khz, they are usually lab based and very expensive. RODE has nothing I'm aware of that is capable in the range you describe. I literally show the full frequency response of these Rode GO II mics in the video.

@@Now-Review-This Thanks for the response. I was hoping maybe these would fit due to the ease and portability. The application is monitoring dogs so ideally normal to 45khz range would be good. I don't need to hear it. I just want to be able to graph it if It is there.

@@grt49er: I see. These mics won't work in that range by specification, but I have no way of testing beyond 20khz to see just how far they can go. You might want to try a sound analysis microphone and then record in 32 bit so you can boost the levels without clipping or distorting. But it still probably wont be sensitive enough to go that high. Another option would be a very large diaphragm mic such as the RODE NT1. The larger the diaphragm, the more sensitive, in theory. amzn.to/3YaG2HF Otherwise I think you'll need a very expensive scientific/lab grade mic to do this job. Good luck.

@@Now-Review-This I will into that and let you know. Thanks for responding.

@@grt49er: Sure, no problem. I am quite curious to know what works best for you in end. Cheers 🍻

Thank you! Cheers 🍻

I have no idea what if anything changed when Odyssey was acquired, this battery is my first experience with the brand. I'm sure you can't wait another 7 years for me to finish this review, but so far so good 😁.

The better the input signal, the better the output from this built in amp. That is until the amp just runs out of power of coarse. Then it just goes snap crackle pop regardless of input signal. This built in amp is just way under powered. I'm confident the speaker and cabinet could sound great with EQ, but not without replacing the amp. There are so many great options available now for amplification, just make sure you pick one with enough power, 500 real watts minimum so that you have some real headroom.

@@Finite-Tuning Once I get an amp and the B652 speakers it's already going to sound far better than before, so I would wait to upgrade the plate amp on the back. I don't often play music that loud but I'm sure the plate amp will be just fine for now.

I thoroughly explained in the video "why" this may seem like it does not move enough air. If you follow the guidance I provided these work GREAT. Nothing much I can tell ya about the smell except give it a little time, it goes away. Yes the price SUCKS, that's why I started with that point in my review. But that 5 year warranty won't be found in any copycat, for less cost.

It's lack of any quality control, there just ain't none, no more! I live 10 miles from Deka, I have several friends that work there, I heard this from first parties who literally work the line.... About 3 years ago I was told Deka was shipping out entire batches of batteries that were only half full of acid. It's all about quantity, not quality, and that includes employees!

What did you not understand about the video? I literally spelled out to everyone why the "think" these don't move much air. Did you not let your home breathe? It's the only way one of these will fail to work. Unless the fan itself has failed.

Eyes in the head of the beholder. I cannot see what any of you see, and you can only see what I've shown here in this video. But if I were to filter this fan, I would do it on the intake side. Totally 'depends' on the thickness of your walls/windows, but I would build a SIMPLE EXTENSION box that would attach to the back side (intake) of the fan. I would place the filter in between the body of the fan and the extension box itself. It would have to be easily accessible and serviceable, but every install will be a custom fit to do this job. Hint 1. don't forget the simple power in a rubber band. Hint 2. don't forget that rubber bands out-gass as they age!

I guess you missed the 1 year update in part 2: th-cam.com/video/XBP3QYYTHNU/w-d-xo.html

Very true! While many auto parts stores do carry Odyssey batteries, ya can't just go anywhere to get one.

If you don't mind running a cord to power it, this thing will dig it just like the gas powered models. I can't yet speak to it's endurance or longevity, but for simple plug and play and just getting the job done, this thing is awesome.... I certainly have no regrets in my purchase! Cheers 🍻

Yes!

@@Finite-Tuning Thank you for your response. You don't actually want to put the grease between the terminals and connectors. Put the connectors on the terminals then coat it all with the grease. over time the grease will become an electrical insulator. If you start to notice the battery losing juice again take the connectors off and clean, then reattach.

@@brettweltz8135: If grease could stop the force of a battery clamp, we'd have much bigger problems to worry about. If grease could stop 12vdc with over 1K amps, the engine would never start. I've already explained the low battery voltage in the video. I "always" use dielectric grease directly on battery terminals, been doing so over 30 years now. It helps to block corrosion, nothing more, and it barely even does that much.

@@Now-Review-This maybe dielectric grease behaves differently up north. I live in Miami. the grease with my experience became almost like water and seeped into the connectors and caused just enough resistance to interrupt the circuit. after cleaning the connectors and terminals then doing what I mentioned in my previous comment, the problem hasnt come back so far... its been 10 months. could also be the connectors... its a group 75 battey in a 95 corvette.

@@brettweltz8135: Another place you might find the stuff is in the breaker panel in your home. It's heavily used there as well, but is probably green/blue in color. Even in the south dielectric grease is attempting to stop corrosion 😁. It's used by all industries where ever electrical connections are made.

They are accurate, very in fact. I checked both testers against my Fluke 87v back when I first got them. But as demonstrated in the video, they are very sensitive to their connection point. Every wiggle of a cable will result in a different reading. Batteries are very coarse devices though, they don't really care about mili-volts until we start talking about 100's of them 😁.

@@Now-Review-This Thanks for the reply!

I cannot control who has what sale when how or where! All I can do is what I've already done, by letting you all know this thing has hit the $50 price point not long ago. Don't go shopping for a snow shovel in the middle of a blizzard.... Wait for the off season, that's when I got it, around Christmas time just last year.

No, not documented anywhere I have seen. To test would require a spectrum analyzer, and I don't have one.

These 2 devices will work with anything literally that you can plug either one of them into. But understand, these are 2 separate devices reviewed in the video. 1 is a transmitter/receiver while the other is only a receiver. Describe what task you are trying to achieve and I can help guide you to the best of the 2 devices for your use case.

@@Now-Review-This much appreciated! I’m looking at the transmitter/receiver so the B03Pro+!

@@slimshadow49 : the B03Pro+ is the more expensive but also the more capable version of the two. Do you have any specific needs?

@@Now-Review-This not in particular. Have some speakers in the backyard. Just was looking for something with an extended range for bluetooth.

If you can find a way to mount it vertical, then sure. But as I mentioned in the video, it's not recommended. It depends on the type of bearing they use whether or not longevity will be affected in the vertical position.

I don't know, I've never timed it. But it would be much less time on high than on low. I've done several projects with it between refills. One full tank lasts a good long time.

That breaks down to $50 per year cost of ownership, I think I'd be happy with that if I can duplicate those results. But I remember not long ago, $50 got you a brand new name brand battery! So there's that I guess. Cheers 🍻

@@Now-Review-This Just bought a "cheap: battery from NAPA for a car that we are going to donate in a few months and it was close to $200.00.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. These new inverter AC units are definitely the way to go. I have to finish my review yet on the LG shown in the video, but I highly recommend these over anything with a conventional compressor. I have 3 months worth of electric bills to show the difference they have made for me, all will be in the review when I ever get around to finishing it 😁. Cheers 🍻

Well that sounds like my experience with all other batteries I've used in the past decade. I sure hope this one fairs better! Did you see part 2 on this series? I have test data listed there: th-cam.com/video/XBP3QYYTHNU/w-d-xo.html

I'm not sure you even watched the video, maybe give it a second go and really pay attention?

These Odyssey batteries are heavy duty for off road and on road use. I think the Odyssey website has a video showing the manufacturing process and internal construction. They use a much heavier buss bar connection internally for connecting the plates to the terminals. This is the common mode of failure for most standard batteries when used for off road conditions. I'm fairly certain that all Odyssey batteries are considered heavy duty for both off and on road use. But I'd check their website just to be sure. Cheers 🍻

Try the tiller on the dandelions. It looks like with a couple of turns it would twist them out better than the weeding tool.

@@glenmel78: I think you're right, that tiller would likely do a better job especially for getting the whole tap root. The weeder is kinda neat and it works okay on most weeds though, just not the ones with tap roots I guess. Funny how in their own advertisement for the tool, they show it pulling a baby dandelion. Maybe they were trying to show it's limit or capacity? I have a new electric tiller I'm going to review next. It will take care of any remaining weeds. Cheers 🍻

Sure, if someone wants to send me one I'll test and review it.

Not sure I understand the question. But I've never had a 72 month warranty on any battery that I've owned. All the batteries I've used in the past 12 years now, they all died in 12 months or less, every single one of them! I think I went through 4 Deka batteries in a row before just giving up on the brand completely. After getting burned raw like that, now I'm real sensitive. Everything afterwards I simply returned for a refund. If it can't even make it a year, then it's completely useless to me and I now cut ties with the brand immediately. Is that what you were asking?

Believe me, many moons ago, Interstate, and I assume others, had 72 (as well as 60) mo warrantied batteries… before AGM. It is becoming harder to find even 36 mo nowadays

@@carman200l I do recall those days as well.

I appreciate your appreciation! Cheers 🍻

Agreed, no speaker will be at it's peak right out of the box. They all need some break in time, but the overall sound will be the same regardless. Usually a woofer will hit a lower bass frequency a little more easily, or a tweeter can become a little less shrill, but the overall sound signature will pretty much remain the same.

@@Now-Review-This In measured performance maybe. As far as actual listening with my ears it was pretty significant on certain songs. Out of the box 'The Mans Too Strong' by Dire Straits sounded pretty unpleasant on the guitar peaks, so did several other tracks in my collection , but after break in they sounded like they were supposed to. No changes in the amp or volume level

@@edjackson4389: If you're happy, then I'm happy. Cheers 🍻
