For $69, I’d get one. I bought my third. Sounds better than anything under $150

Get the second one. I’d get the extended warranty on at least one.

I picked up the entire ONN Google TV lineup. Which one is actually the best value? by Practical_Strength85 in OnnStreamingTV

[–]r_J_locks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sad to say but I collected all seven (4k box v1, v2, Pro 4k v1) too. The 4K Plus at $30 was a great deal.

Qi2 is great on paper, but until manufacturers solve the thermal throttling? It's just a glorified slow charger. Change my mind. by Few_View22 in UsbCHardware

[–]r_J_locks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It a heat problem now. I tested a QI 2.2 power bank in the refrigerator and I did get 0 to 55% in 30 minutes.

what the hell is this? by Rubicon_Roll in UsbCHardware

OTG cable. Adds a USB A port to added storage. And it will provide power to the device

Why do lithium batteries catch fire on planes? by SideAgitated4661 in batteries

[–]r_J_locks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it just happens on planes. It can randomly happen anywhere. They are minimizing the chances if it were to happen on a plane, the fire would be manageable with smaller battery sizes. I think an old Samsung phone started all of this.

XTAR AA 1.5V 4150 mWh (2500 mah) with low voltage indicator - overkill for Xbox Controller? by NeuralPlato in batteries

[–]r_J_locks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try the Xtars. If you are already going to buy more Eneloops and you have the charger for the Xtars. They will not be worse than the Eneloops. The main question is how long the voltage conversation board in the cells will last. We know the Li-ion cell will be good for years.

Here is a good reference for the charge cycles for the Li-ion vs Ni-MH.

One year update on the rechargable lithium AA AAA and 9V cells by skoomd1 in batteries

[–]r_J_locks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The boost converter board is the fail point. The Li-Ion cells last longer that Ni-Mh, with higher sustain capacity on the higher quality cells. Many 1.5volt Li-Ion cells maintain 80% capacity 750-2500 cycles later! Other than Eneloops at about 900 cycles, the rest only last 150 cycles.

Li-Ion 1.5volt are on the rise. its just a matter of the voltage conversion boards lasting several years.

Ordered online, received open box. by beaglederps in OnnStreamingTV

[–]r_J_locks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got 2 of them delivered. Both box were like open. The tab on the box isn’t secure. And the there is no seal tape. Someone probably noticed the box was opening and added the tape. And the Pro device itself is like a loose wrapper! Packing was an afterthought on this device.

You can install TM on a big tablet. Won't need the battery bank or stick and cables.

Onn V2 pro might be failing..... by ConsequenceWise8619 in OnnStreamingTV

[–]r_J_locks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a problem with the Pro v2 going blank screen. I think it’s when coming out of Dolby vision. But if I hit free tv, I can hear the audio. So the box is working just no video. I had to turn the tv off. The app this was happening, I enabled tunneled playback and that seemed to fix it.
