I'm not suggesting the use of lithium ion batteries in a UPS. I was merely making the comparison to lithium ion, including LFP, that don't…

Just a note on these UPS with lead acid batteries. If you expect frequent outages of more than a few minutes, definitely buy a UPS with a…

Agreed. Operating on low loads can see very different efficiencies.

Efficiency could vary dramatically between units, particularly if the load is low.

For the every day user that is connected to the grid, the 750VA unit is a better deal as it has AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation). As…

Do you really need to charge it that fast? It will wear out the battery faster.

I used to have the Ryobi Pole Saw 18V and I think that it killed a less than or equal to 2Ah pack that came with it. Obviously only a…

Getting warm during operation or hot during charging is a sign there is a problem with the pack.

I can't speak for this particular battery pack, but some other brands are using pouch cells.

I can't find the replacement toner. That could be a challenge.

Are you referring to Ganfeng lithium for cells produced in the USA? I think they are likely still obtaining some material from them. There…

No, it includes the battery. Tesla sources lithium from Australia. Australia produces around 50% of the world's lithium ore concentrate.…

It might have taken that long for a Volvo to recover the embedded emissions, but this is far from what the best selling BEV takes. The…

The Aliexpress website seems to failing at the moment with either pages not showing or all products sold out.

I am fair certain that the 240W standard has been ratified. As for how many cables will really do it, that is a different matter.

I have found that the cells in the smallest packs don't seem to be as good as those in packs sold by themselves. This might have improved…

In December there was a whipper snipper kit for $99 with 2Ah.

Thanks. I did a search and couldn't find it. I note that is only a 1.5Ah battery, whereas other similar offers have had the 2.0Ah.

I thought I saw an advertisement for this on either tv or Youtube last night, but I can't find any reference on this site or the Bunnings…

Ok, thanks.

Will Officeworks or JB Hi Fi match this price?

I didn't see those exclusions as I went straight to the specifications section where it doesn't mention them. The OP needs to change their…

Why is Samsung quoting write speeds up to 130MB/s?…

No, standard USB 3.0 readers won't do more than about 90MB/s. The limitation isn't the USB or micro SD card, but what modes the reader…

Any (cheaper) USB micro SD card readers that support the full speeds on these? Only ones I could find were really expensive.

Far cheaper to buy a drive with built in DRAM.

I have found these to be noticeably slower in machines compared other drives with DRAM even when just doing basic productivity stuff. They…

Doesn't matter as either should go in the e-waste bin as none of them will be compliant or likely safe to use in Australia.

I assume you have tried Onvifer or similar app. I used to own an Escam, but that was about 10 years ago before there was the big shift to…

I assume this is going to be a special card, not a generic card.
