I don't think you'd have any _extra_ issues with overheating compared to lead acid/agm - as long as you're not leaving the batteries in direct sunlight or beside another heat source I'd think you should be fine. And yes, as GreyGhost points out iron phosphate is much safer than the other...

Are you using lead acid or AGM at the moment and how many amp hours is your battery? You may not be interested in changing chemistries but have you thought about going LiFePO4? Ever since switching to lithium iron phosphate for my off-grid cottage and portable 12v needs I'll never go back...

I use LiFePO4 battery cells for off-grid energy storage and you can't beat the prices from trusted sources on Alibaba. You can sometimes find deals on AliExpress but it's more of a risky venture since there are more scammers on that site. Buying anything from local suppliers or even random...

I saw you had a 1500 in an earlier post, so I posted the trailering pic to give you size perspective. That pic is actually where we got the Switch - Delta Power Equipment in Seaforth which is primarily a farm machinery business. You can buy them from any Can-Am/BRP dealer.

If you're considering a jet boat like the Sea Doo Speedster/Sportster/Challenger you might also want to consider the new Switches. I only have 10 hours on mine (18 foot, 230hp), but so far I'm loving it. The low speed handling has been changed from the older jet boats to the newer PWC style -...

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things $650 for a year of insurance isn't horrible by any means, I'm just surprised it's more than motorcycle insurance. I would have thought biking was a much more risky activity than boating, but other factors at play I suppose. Thanks for checking with your...

Seems like boat insurance went up AGAIN this year... I picked up a Sea Doo Switch (tri-toon jet boat) and am struggling to find insurance under $600. MD marine seems to be the cheapest option at the moment, any other suggestions for quotes?

I still rip around on my dt200r from time to time... fun bikes! I'm tempted to grab this as a parts machine... but I already have quite a few spares and in the 3 years I've owned this bike I haven't had to repair a thing!

I never liked pontoon boats that much, but the new Sea Doo Switch models might have changed my mind... they sure are popular though, apparently they have sold out across Canada for 2022 already.

Could it be a water heater instead of a fireplace? I've seen similar looking boxes on cottages that use propane hot water heaters...

I can't believe no one's mentioned Indian yet... some of the best vegetarian (and even vegan) dishes are Indian in my opinion! Also can't go wrong with pizza or tacos/burritos... even if you don't like refried beans there are a lot of other protein options (such as those fake ground beef...

If I were to snowbike, I'd head to cottage country (Bancroft for example) and look for seasonal cottage roads. There are hundreds of kilometers of them, and they would be perfect for snowbikes I would imagine. I don't think there would be any rules against riding on them, and you can just park...

Know your audience - do you really expect me to believe you ride the speed limit? ;)

This CBC article says it's safe...1 in 10 billion chance apparently :ROFLMAO: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/cell-phones-unlikely-to-cause-fires-at-gas-stations-1.5051583

I don't think I've ever been asked to dismount - but have you ever had someone tell you to put away your cell phone?!? I had that happen to me a year or two ago... couldn't believe it. Sure enough, there were pictures posted at the pumps indicating "do not use phones while pumping". I...

The first year I grew outside in Toronto I was a little worried, but 4 or 5 years later not so much. Absolute darkness is best of course, but I haven't seen the "Toronto glow" affect the plants much.

The girls are LOVIN' this weather!!! My two PBB are over 5 feet now, and the two MAC1's are about 4 feet. I think my biggest concern this grow will be bud rot if the heat/humidity keep up this year: 2 Peanut Butter Breath: 2 MAC1:

I have the Cardo slim and like it a lot - the only issue I have with it is trying to remember which buttons do what without taking off my helmet to have a look (and even then i still have issues at times!). I hardly ever have to change things, but sometimes my shoulder or something will hit a...

I'm definitely going to use that pouring method from now on (for oil, not maple syrup)

Nice ride!! Can't believe you detoured for a photo tag first :) We have a cottage on Monck Lake (hwy 118 and loop rd), and there is a road just West of Loop rd that heads South called "Dyno Road" (hwy 48). It might also be marked as gravel on gps, but it's now a paved road with a lot of...
