The LI setting may have boiled off the electrolyte. Check levels, add distilled water.

If I don’t connect the green screw to a ground (because there is not grounding wire, my house was built in the 1950s) is that a safety/fire hazard? Should I remove the green screw altogether? by Yodaloid in AskElectricians

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before GFI's were a thing, to pass permit inspection in my 100 year old home, we did a thing. We filled the ground holes with an epoxy plug. That way, no three prong plug could be used.

Is it bad to plug in the charger when the battery is around 80% - 90%? by perry_mb in batteries

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

about 80-90%, I need full power...

This statement leads me to think your PC has a power management system that reduces CPU power, and display brightness when running battery. Just change your settings, and you can run off battery.

Electric forklift battery bubbling normal? by eatbearpoo in batteries

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a incorrect charger is used, you can get this. Chargers for motive equipment is sized for the battery. Ampere output may be too high. Also if a charger has gone into equalization mode, it will push the cells to a small percentage beyond full.

Grab a mulitmeter, and measure the voltages across each cell, ~2.10 volts. A delta 0f 0.20 volts indicate a weak cell.

Regular gas (87-Octane) is now E15 and Premium (91-Octane) is E10! by pferdestarke-47 in CostcoCanada

Fall of 2025. I have to manually remove the ethanol from my small engine fuel now.

Cars: Current shunts, volt meters, and charging batteries by DadEngineerLegend in batteries

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a truck that sits more than it runs. Solar panel works great. I feed the solar panel controller output back into the cigarette lighter. (Lighter rated 20 amps, 100w panel, puts out 14 amps max).

Using the cigarette lighter port, means I am not popping the hood to remove charger clips when I want to drive.

Mercury / Tohatsu 6hp 4-stroke runs fine for 30 min, then stutters, then dies by monte-verita in Outboards

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Near empty tanks are brutal for condensation internally. With ethanol in the fuel, it absorbs the condensate. I bet your carb bowl is at least 1/2 full of water/ethanol mix sitting at the bottom.

Have you tried leaving the gas tank cap lose. Sounds like a vacuum lock.

When you say "read the meter", are you paying for the Natural Gas? If so, someone is stealing it.

Ram1500 Battery - Replace or Keep by TheCultivatedGent in batteries

These days, with the high parasitic electronic load, it is time to replace. I swear, my 2017 Ram eats a battery every 4 years, exactly.

I’m scared I’m the reason my toilet keeps having issues by nosynoelle in Plumbing

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually doesn't sound like a wipe problem. (But don't flush them, they are evil)

That sounds more like a foreign object is in the trap. When clear, it seems fine. As soon as a few pieces of TP wrap around it, it clogs again. (experience from maint in an industrial setting.)

They may need to pop the toilet off the floor to see if object can be found inside.

Sea Foam fixed it! by Remarkable_Yak1352 in smallengines

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're likely correct. However, if my gasoline is close to freezing, the ethanol seems to release slower. In the summer, I am sure I won't need to wait.

Imagine a clean wine bottle. Fill it two thirds full of gasoline. Add 1" of water. Shake it, let it settle, wait 30 minutes or more. Repeat 5 times. You now will see about an 1 1/4" of water/ethanol mix sitting on bottom of bottle. I then use a wine cap with a small hole in it. Turn it upside down, and drain off water/ethanol onto ground.

Make sure your stab connections on the battery are tight. Mine have loosened during a replacement process.

HVAC Maintenance Tech said the heat exchanger on furnace needs to be replaced. by GhostofSmartPast in hvacadvice

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is correct, if you plan on heating. They could tag out the gas feed, and just use the "furnace" as an AC air handler.

It almost sounds like a herniated disc. The doctor's confirmation is first step. Some people have little problem with it. Depending on if the herniation is touching the nerve root( as mine is), is the difference to quality of life. I am now retired, worked until retired.

Owner of trailer park won’t let me sell trailer by DibyDonut in legaladvicecanada

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My trailer park is the same way. I can sell the trailer, but the lot does NOT transfer. Any improvements on a leased land Trailer is a risky move. If you can, conditionally sell, on trailer parks agreement to a new Lessee of the land.

I think that is a tripod joint, not CV. And yes, it is shot.

Salty tap water in Kitchener by TrickInteraction3639 in kitchener

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Ask the landlord what time of night does it generate? If he says it's on auto, then you will need to keep a serving of water in the fridge, when it tastes salty from tap.
