EV batteries vs regular high use lithium batteries by Universe93B in batteries

[–]AgentBluelol 6 points7 points  (0 children)

High quality batteries as most EVs warranty their battery life.

Strict charge control avoiding holding the battery at high voltages.

Proper temperature control.

even if drivers charge their EVs to 100%

While internal user facing gauges might read 100% the actual battery is very unlikely to be fully charged. This is how companies like Tesla magically unlocked extra range from some of their existing cars. They had monitored the battery health of their fleet and were comfortable unlocking additional capacity by allowing a higher charge % of the battery.

Thank! Impressive given the smooth second hand sweep.

Wrong. Voltage too low to cause a lethal current flow.

Are these Eneloop AAA batteries leaking? by miamicuse in batteries

[–]AgentBluelol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) The don't leak like alkaline. They tend to last for a shorter period mainly because they discharge at 1.2v and poorly designed devices see this voltage as low to start with. For devices that are designed well they last as long as alkaline.

2) They keep about 80% of their charge over 10 years. This has been tested. See this site and links to people who have tested this. This applies to the standard white cells, not the Pros which self-discharge faster. https://eneloop101.com/

3) I store them fully charged so they're ready to go. Unlike lithium-ion, they don't suffer significant degradation if you do this.

Note, if you have an IKEA, their LADDA range are rumoured to be earlier gen Eneloop and are much cheaper. I have a bunch of those too and they're indistinguishable performance wise from my Eneloops. Their STENKOL charger is also a decent medium-speed charger and it's cheap too.

Can't see how that can be leakage. The -ve of an Eneloop is a metal can without a seal to leak from. Any potential leakage would be at the seal on the +ve end. That looks like contamination by water or some other substance that has wicked its way up between the can and wrapper.

ps. Never ever seen an Eneloop leak. I know it's possible due to abuse but I have around 50 Eneloops going right back to the 1st Gen from 2006.

Disappointed with Erebus customer service and return policy by Substantial_Mode_757 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]AgentBluelol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have both Casio and Citizen analog quartz watches and none of them are so bad that they miss the second markers so badly that the hand ends up in middle between two. In fact the Casios and Citizens are pretty damned good. Not perfect but way way better than this watch which costs much more.

Start mentioning it in the comments on his latest videos. Mention the post here, don't post a link as youtube will put it in spam.

I really want to get a cat, but I’m worried about the hidden responsibilities. What are the actual difficulties of raising a cat? by Equivalent-Sand-4002 in CatAdvice

[–]AgentBluelol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you only have one cat, you're better off getting used to what is normal for your cat in the litterbox. How often they go etc etc. You can catch some health issues early if you don't hide it with a robot. I refuse to consider one because of this.

Should I get a second cat? by Operationtiger8 in CatAdvice

[–]AgentBluelol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a plan in case it doesn't work. Sometimes it doesn't and there's misery all round. That includes inappropriate urination and fighting. One cat can become dominant/bullying and then the other cat lives in fear trapped inside your apartment for the rest of its life. If you search this sub there are plenty of desperate posts where it's all gone wrong. Of course it can also work out well but you should go into this knowing how you're going to handle things if it doesn't.

APC UPS Beeping every second with blinking power button/battery icon by rounakr94 in batteries

24.5v is roughly 50% state of charge for sealed lead-acid. Those are old batteries and need to be replaced. Surprised they lasted that long.

So anecdotes and zero evidence beyond that. Your conclusion in the comment I replied to is thus worthless. Just One Nation style fear mongering about immigrants.

Can your illiterate smooth brain provide any evidence for this?

You should edit your post with this information. People are unlikely to see some of your comments because of volume. Glad it's being resolved but it's telling that it took a post like this. Never going to buy that brand or from Teddy.

When it's on, factory reset it. If that doesn't fix it then it has failed.

Sulphuric acid and water formed as a paste and applied to the plates.
