  2. Topping up my TV remote Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries with my home made trickle charger using a Big Clive circuit design from many years ago.

    Cargo, I suspect.
    And no doubt the Americans will continue deportation flights.
    And military use.
    But civilian ordinary flight looks frivolous already.

    Except

    There's an #electric #plane flying* into a local #airfield. And a few more around.
    Amusing to walk past the row of car electric chargers and see over the fence the rather bigger #aeroplane #charger. There's a coffee shop, and it is mildly entertaining.

    * From not very far away, yet ;(

  9. If you buy things on #AliExpress, you are going to get scammed every so often. Their buyer protection program is pretty decent, although it can be a bit of a pain to go through the process.

    You can increase your chances of getting scammed by buying things where the #deals are too good to be true. When the deals are ludicrously, impossibly good, your chances increase to 100%.

    This can be fun. I have bought a few things over the years that were obviously #scams. Once, I spent a few hundred dollars for two tablets that, if they had been real, were selling for about one tenth of what they should have. Seeing how they faked them being new products, when they were actually recycled ancient low-end tablets, was fascinating.

    But I generally won't do that. Instead, I buy cheap stuff, trading a few dollars for the fun of seeing what the seller/manufacturer have done. I don't even try to get my money back on these.

    So I recently bought a #USB #charger that I've been seeing for months. It's described as a 240W total output, gallium-nitride, USB-PD and QC-3.0 compatible, five-port charger. The genuine article from a reputable manufacturer, if it exists, must cost over CDN $100. This one was ... five bucks.

    So I knew it was going to be interesting. It arrived today. It weighed more than expected, but all at one end. The case appears to be ultrasonically welded, so getting it open is destructive.

  14. Wanted to see if my #Kia #EV6 had been affecting my #electricity usage/bill all that much. It seems that, yes, a little, but not as much as I might have thought. I #drive about 20 miles a day on average. I've been charging it off of a 110v slow #charger.

  15. europesays.com/ro/117043/ (VIDEO) Noul Dodge Charger cu motor cu combustie, cu 6 cilindri, a fost învins detaşat de BMW M4 şi chiar Audi RS3, deşi era cel mai puternic dintre toţi | PiataAuto.md #6 #audi #bmw #charger #cilindri #combustie #detasat #dodge #hurricane #invins #m4 #motor #noul #performanta #RO #Română #Romania #Romanian #rs3 #Technology #tehnologie

  16. I've read today #GWR started trial of #rapid charging #train. It uses 2MW #charger working with #current up to 1kA (insane). For 3½ minutes it consumes #energy like a thousand homes village.

  17. For over five years the battery charger for our electric bicycle has been awkwardly dangling from a little hook.

    With emotional support from toddler and actual support from #FreeCAD I finally created a simple wall bracket.

    It's available from .stl sharing site #manifold :-)

    Inner dimensions are 73mm by 42,5mm. With a hole in the bottom for a cable exit. Probably fits other chargers as well.

    People recommending you manually use a CC/CV power supply are not helping you 😉

    Good chargers will let you set what *type* of battery it is, and will correctly charge all major types. I've got a four-cell (four independent charging circuits) that will happily charge NiCad, Nickel Metal Hydride, LiFePO4, Lithium-ion polymer, and a few others. It mostly autodetects the correct type.

    They're not stupidly expensive. The model I have is currently $37 Canadian from Amazon:
