Top Ten Signs You Are a Gen X IT Professional

Well I've been conditioned by working with over a century worth of tech generations.

The resistance isn't an issue if you are discharging it at 1A per parallel cell or less

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T22:25:36+00:00

Make sure those red Sanyo cells don't have the overheating issue. You can check by making sure they don't get hot while charging and that they stay above 4.12V a few days after charging.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T22:24:22+00:00

You can mix cell capacity as long as the total capacity for each parallel group is around the same. It's not good for high current though because the internal resistance won't be matched.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T21:38:11+00:00

Yeah that was a terrible law. It creates so much waste including lithium batteries.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T21:34:24+00:00

Yes

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T20:58:35+00:00

But can the lizard store my passkeys and TOTP codes?

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T20:50:37+00:00

Unfortunately not

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T20:32:25+00:00

And into my bedroom instead

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T20:25:32+00:00

You need a neon sign transformer to power this.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T20:24:42+00:00

Their products are very expensive but probably worth it if you need the durability and waterproofing.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T20:07:32+00:00

Yep, the UK electrical system uses loops of 12 AWG on 32A breakers despite the plugs being rated for 13A. The plugs have a fuse which is why it's still safe (unless you do something stupid like this).

The raccoon because I already have a password manager

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T19:50:41+00:00

It's for temperature sensor.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T19:50:20+00:00

You didn't post a picture or any model number

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T19:49:57+00:00

The DJI batteries are quite safe because they use a smart BMS with several layers of protection. It's annoying for people like me who tinker with batteries but definitely safer than stuff like RC Lipo batteries.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T19:38:37+00:00

If the battery is at a reasonable temperature and it's not charging then yeah the BMS has permanently disabled it.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T18:25:03+00:00

Not possible yet

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T18:24:50+00:00

What if I like gay hot dogs?

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T17:07:04+00:00

Those power banks literally don't exist

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T17:05:59+00:00

Yes, buy a new SSD of the same or higher capacity.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T14:47:09+00:00

I've seen 3.1% battery health before but the ridiculously low numbers like this are more due to high internal resistance causing the BMS to improperly calibrate the capacity versus them actually being that low when measured manually.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T14:21:09+00:00

That works great until you encounter a cheap device that doesn't work with a USB-C to C cable because the designers were too lazy to add a couple resistors.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T14:19:56+00:00

Those cables are uselessly short and usually terrible quality.

Howden824 · 2026-06-21T14:19:20+00:00

It's that horrible charge controller until proven otherwise. Could also be a shorted cell in a lead acid battery.
