Should I reuse crimp terminals by soldering them?

It's good the black plug end is a very tight fit, as you wouldn't want it to come apart when pulling the plug out of the vehicle socket.
very nice maybe get a large "O" ring to make the seal just incase 🙂
The 2k resistor would have worked, it just limits current to 2.4kw. 470 ohm = 7kw ish current limit.
I think you need a much larger wider tip for this kind of soldering.
Hi Julian, invoice in the Caribbean with my MG4 i did the resistor change and that worked but we are 110v....I don't know how to get that....I did the blue for power and green yellow as the neutral.....
You need a bigger tip on that iron. I have a 40 + year old Wellar Instant Heat soldering gun that still does sterling service when high thermal mass connections need to be soldered.
I'd consider attaching that helping hand to a weight of some kind. There's little worse than a helping hand that moves around while you're working ;).
I find the biggest problem with soldering these heavy thermal mass joints isn't the temperature, it's the thermal sensor. My pinecil struggles even running on a high-current supply with the full 20V, because the coupling between the tip and the temperature sensor isn't that great, so it doesn't know to pump the energy in straight away when you try to melt the big joints. The joint just sucks the heat away to the point where the tip gets stuck to the joint, but the pinecil still reads it at full temp.
I'm considering buying one of the clone JCB soldering stations and using it with a genuine tip, since they seem to handle the high thermal mass joints well in reviews.
Try Butane torch?
Interesting... I've seen a YT video where someone used the highvoltage input of a solar invertor (one of those cheap chineese ones) that takes upto 500V to connect direct from chadamo so the invertor thinks that there is a solar panel and you can get your existing invertor to take energy direct from the battery instead of using the onboard(if supported) invertor of the car. I think wall box is making something for direct ccs/chadamo, but at around 3000/4000 GBP
Damn there will be a part 2?? 🙂
Yes, more parts to come. New O rings and resistor ordered :)
@@JulianIlett glad there will be a part 2, i was so disappointed when it abruptly ended. great video love the channel
Thanks Barry. At this time of year the light fades so quickly - that's what terminated this video.
I just ordered one from EV cables in the UK - a bit more expensive but not that much - in anticipation of power cuts this winter. Got an MG5 which can give 2.5kW so enough for the central heating and lights.
Me too. I've started using the V2L to power my office heating. I can get around 5 hours heating for 5% vehicle battery usage.
If the thermal cut out was wired in series with the resistor the resistance would be the combined resistance of the thermal and resistor.
The thermal cutout has no resistance. It's either shorted (0 ohms) when cold and goes open circuit (infinite resistance) once hot enough, so the car sees it as being unplugged, and hence stops supplying power.
@@zaprodk Well it cannot be zero ohms because it is essentially a fuse but probably close enough to not affect this circuit much.
@@benbaselet2026 of course not "zero", more like a fraction of an ohm, if that much. But you know what I meant :)
@@zaprodk Well depends on the device and value but it needs some resistance to function and that can be meaningful in many applications so it's good to keep in mind that it cannot just be reagarded as a piece of wire type of device is what I meant.
@@benbaselet2026 a /thermal/ fuse doesn't need any resistance. It doesn't work thr same way as a normal fuse that melts over if having too high a current flowing. A thermal fuse is two small terminals pushed together, held by aspiring mechanism and a wax engineered to melt at the intended temperature. It has next to no resistance - it doesn't need resistance to function.
Is this how you are with everything, Julian? Buy something new, immediately take it apart!
Pretty much. Unless there's a warranty - then it gets to remain in one piece for the duration :)
Can we work together, Sir?Electric Car Side Discharge Plug EV Type2 16A Charger Cable with EU Socket Outdoor Power Station( need car supports V2L). There is a need to find me to understand the product in detail!!
insurance company might not agree ....
Pee pee pin 😂
Lead free solder is an abomination. 😁
It is.
@@JulianIlett Some of the more expensive lead free solder alloys that are now available are much better to use. For work I have to use lead free solder all of the time so you soon get used to it's quirks with practice.
@@SiaVids It will probably behave OK when you are doint it right, otherwise the industry would not work. But will it last? What's different with them compared to the cheap stuff and is it available to regular people?
And easier workability means better connections for the rest of us who are not very professional with the best materials and equipment.
Why did you say this would never have worked, it would have worked, just not at the ampage you wanted. If your going to do this type of videeo then explain it correctly, all your doing is confusing people with less experience by only giving half the facts.
To be recognized by mg as a discharge cable the resistance has to be from 380 to 480 ohm , with 2k it would have not worked at all , that cable was for a different car . 😉
