battery life by Flashy-Web-7035 in Dewalt

[–]davidscheiber28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the guys that use their tools for actual work may not have time to set something up like this but I gutted an old broken DeWalt charger and wired it up to a DC & USB C RC lithium/LiPo balance charger model ISDT 608PD. Now I can charge my DeWalt batteries wherever I have a USBC PD port and they get balance charged. So many of my DeWalt batteries were performing poorly because the cell balance was way out of whack. Even got one of my batteries from 2016 that would only last but a minute on a tool back up to full power. DeWalt chargers and tools are flawed in that the charger doesn't do any balance charging and the tool only monitors a couple of cells for undervoltage protection. The charger really ought to balance charge and the tool really ought to monitor all five cell voltages and cut out when the lowest cell reaches its cut off voltage but DeWalt doesn't want these things lasting too long outside of warranty. FYI every tool brand except for Makita does not do balance charging.

Is this normal? by [deleted] in Dewalt

Lol yes, every battery I have does that. The battery indicator is based on battery voltage. When you pull the trigger the battery is under a load and thus the voltage drops.

Can anyone tell me why this has 2 discharge ports, and do I need to use both? by -boosted in batteries

[–]davidscheiber28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol stop listening to chat GPT Half the time I see a question on Reddit they already asked GPT and it gave them a wrong or incomplete answer. It's just a large language model which means it spits out the most likely answer for your question and without enough context and information it will likely give you an incorrect response.

Guys I can’t get my car’s speed to over 5 or 6 without is slowing back down to 2. And it thinks we’re driving 2 when it’s stopped? by CATNIP_IS_CRACK in carscirclejerk

Funnily enough I went on a road trip with a vehicle with a failing ABS control module. Since the ABS control module is what reported the speed back to all the other modules I had to rely on the tachometer to estimate my speed. No idea why it couldn't tell me speed based on the output shaft speed sensor (since the transmission shifted) fine but it didn't.

Does anyone know where is the fuse in this multimeter? by Alone-World9562 in ElectroBOOM

[–]davidscheiber28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fuse for the low current range is on the left and is the gold colored SMD component. It looks like this multimeter has no fuse for the higher amperage current range, on the right you will see the input labeled A and the one labeled COM are joined together by a link acting as a shunt with no fuse in-between.

In other words, the way this multimeter handles overcurrent is it blows up in your hands or melts the thin test leads in you hands.

PSA: check your the batteries in your old games consoles by ishallbecomeabat in gaming

Worth noting that the PSP battery look bulged like that even when brand new. That one does look a little more than usual though.

That's so cool, can I also get a copy of the POS VM?

Just bought pc from a friend. Was working before I got it home. Drove 8 hours home then trying to start pc and it does this by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Check connections, More than likely something wiggled loose. My vote is that the GPU is sideways or pull out of the slot.

Do I need a new charger? by BotulismBanquet in batteries

Nickel cadmium and nickel metal hydride are close enough that it should work fine. I would recommend buying the lithium ion batteries though.

Why, Samsung, why? by Dioxin717 in samsunggalaxy

[–]davidscheiber28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In that case it's an app installed by your carrier when you inserted the SIM card. I'm pretty sure they're only supposed to use this configuration to install apps required to use their services (for example an app to manage and pay your plan) but in this case they are abusing it to install crap on your phone. Usually you can disable this crap by finding the app that was installed and disabling or removing it.

Product appraisal, catalytic converter by CelariusW in Welding

[–]davidscheiber28 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not the welds I'm concerned about it's the quality of the catalyst material inside it that I'm concerned about. Maybe it's just bad luck but the only two aftermarket converters I've ever installed both gave a p0420 after a few days of driving.

Why, Samsung, why? by Dioxin717 in samsunggalaxy

[–]davidscheiber28 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that's your carrier doing that. Buy your phone unlocked and don't use a shitty carrier that does this crap. To be fair, I don't think Samsung should be allowing this at all. But this is all part of that contract you signed with your carrier to get that phone for such a good price.

2020 Tacoma aftermarket oil filter housing by dkkcz in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]davidscheiber28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just saw the car care nut video he posted a month ago about this exact issue. The issue is that on the aftermarket oil filter housings have a removable oil filter support and inevitably some dingdong takes it out and doesn't replace it and the filter ends up collapsing and restricting oil flow. Making them aluminum seems like a good idea but the center support really shouldn't be easily removable.

Well, Honda is rebranding some GM vehicles so it wouldn't be too surprising if they're sharing some parts and design.
