    Remember buying a Threshold Class A amplifier in 1978! Purchased it from Sound Components in Coral Gables. It was an incredible amp for my Chartwell LS3/5a’s which were 15ohm impedance. The amp got quite hot, but the sound was incredible and worth every cent it cost. Mr. Pass designs were always good sounding and well thought out. I would love to have an amp made with 30 watts per channel to drive my old QUAD ESL’s sitting well packed in the basement. At $40.00 it would be an incredible value for a Nelson Pass designed amplifier. For a couple hundred dollars for a power supply and chassis and fans it still would be a bargain. I just purchased two FOSI V3 mono block amps from Kickstarter with two 48volt 10amp power supplies for the Class D amps as a funding reward.

Cut and paste here: You might be able to accomplish similar results with a 48VDC AC/DC power supply. These are common for POE (Power Over Ethernet) devices. Insert a series 200 ohm power resistor (25W or larger) to limit the current. Assuming you have a multi-meter to monitor voltages/current and maybe $30 of parts from Amazon, you might be able to do it. Be careful and your mileage might vary :)

You could MAYBE shave 15% if you really went for it, but for $200, I’d just save my back and my time buying it pre cut and stained in this pack. Plus I get a warranty.

    Great video. Thanks for the ideas. I especially like the concrete risers. I used them for my shed, but didn’t think of them for the green house.

    Great video! Hoping you can help me with my question. My battery has no LED lights that light when I press the button. When I put it on the charger red light blinks, then turns solid (defective). Took the battery apart and reset per your video. When I put it in the charger now it just always says "evaluating" (blinking red light on charger). Any other tricks I can try? TIA!

      Thanks. What is the voltage of the battery? If you leave it on the charger for say an hour and then measure it, what do you get? When you performed the reset, what was the battery voltage?

    Glad I found your video. My 58V battery did exactly as you described. It was fully charged, but I performed the reset you showed in the video using a paper clip between the ground and reset and it worked when I put it back in the saw. Thanks for doing the work figuring this out!

    Thank you for the testing demo, I recently ordered the Drok USB Load as well as a RuiDeng UM25C USB Tester, should be here in a day or two. I'll also try my RockSeed RS310Pro as power source to try to duplicate your test here. BTW, that sure is a nice Flir Thermal Camera that you are using (I can't quite make out the model # in your video), not in my current budget (No pun intended), but a thermal camera may make it onto my wish list in the not too distant future. They are spot-on for spotting PCB problems, as well as other equipment.

    I have had an Echo 58V Hedge Trimmer, Weedwacker, and Blower since 2017. The 2Ah and 4Ah batteries have always been finicky. I've tried running all of the power out of them and rechaging them. I've tried pressing and holding the battery button for 30 seconds. Nothing seemed to make the batteries work as they did when they were new. I've gotten the "Defective" light at the end of every charge cycle for each of my 4 batteries for years. I've filed Warranty Claims for new ones previously on multiple occasions through Echo. This morning, while debating on whether to make the leap to EGO tools, I went down a RUclips Rabbit Hole... and landed on this video. Dan perfectly describes the issue I was facing... charging issues.... not working for long periods in the tools... even if voltage is 57.4 Volts. So, I followed his instructions to a Tee, using a T10-H Screwdriver.. I reset one battery at 51 volts, another at 56.4 volts. I put the clamshells back together, charged them up, and WOW! What a difference! Its almost like my blower is brand new! Using my 4Ah battery, I went from less than 2 minutes on Turbo Mode to 10+ minutes. Also, after using Turbo for 10 straight minutes, the battery was still holding 50 Volts. Problem Solved! $1,100.00 Saved! Dan has a new suscriber now. Thanks Again!

    Great info ! Another important tip is that a lot of people forget that the battery itself might still be on the warranty. 5 years, if you still have your receipt or if your purchase was registered at your Echo dealer. I have got 2 two of them replaced in the last year.

    Hi Dan, Thank you for the video. I have a question "What is class 1 and class 2 powersupply? If i am using the class 1 powersupply then how do i know that i am following the wiring method requirements of class 1 circuit.

    • @DanPattenAudioG33k
      @DanPattenAudioG33k 4 месяца назад

      There is a difference between Class I/II and Class 1/2 and that is super confusing. Class I/II mostly details grounding and insulation. Class 1/2 mostly details power output capability of the power supply. These two different standards having similar names is one of the dumbest things in electronics. Not sure of your question. A Class 2 power supply is inherently limited to specific amount of power (approximately 100W) and is lower than 60V (I believe).
