    Test/review of Charger Panasonic BQ-CC75

    Can this charger, as the Panasonic website implies, power the USB output from batteries? In other words, double as a USB battery pack? If the BQ-CC75 can't do this, is there a model that can? I've tried this with mine, but it's not working.

    Best NiMh battery for telephone handset -- constant charging? Eneloop Lite?

    I have an Ooma phone handset with two NiMH AAA batteries. They're worn out after a year, and don't hold much charge. What's the best battery technology for a constant charge situation -- where the handset stays on the charger 24/7 and is used occasionally? Is there any data or study on this...

    bullet resistant glass

    Really bad neighborhood? Or war zone? You in Ukraine or the Bronx from a decade ago? Or a middle eastern capital where shooting in the air is a thing?

    Seeking NiMH/Eneloop Charger that can go to 8 (or 10)

    I'm seeking a NiMH that with an adjustable charge end point. In other words, the ability to charge a battery to "80%" or "100%" or even "110%" on demand. This would be for keeping batteries stored to 80% normally, but then top them up quick for actual use. Is there a charger or charge...

    Real numbers or fake numbers, lumens per watt on household bulbs at hardware store

    How much should I trust the "lumens per watt" rating on household LED bulbs and fixtures? They seem to range from about 45 lumens per watt up to 100 lumens per watt, all the in same price category. Ceiling mount fixtures, where the LED's shine downward, seem to max out at about 85 lumens per...

    Selecting a battery for a 3 month time-lapse gig : alkaline low discharge or high mAh

    When, roughly, does the curve cross over between a high mAh battery and an Eneloop? For a high drain same day application the high mAh will win. When does the Eneloop win?

    Selecting a battery for a 3 month time-lapse gig : alkaline low discharge or high mAh

    I'm setting up a construction camera for a 3-4 month run. In that timeframe, what battery should I choose? At what point does the discharge curve from a high mAh battery cross that of an Eneloop or Alkaline? I see...

    Used T12's? Wow, almost as good as getting pre-owned underwear for Christmas.

    T8 lamp on T12 ballast?

    And I know that the general recommendation is to upgrade ballasts to something supporting T8. However: my question is does anyone make an electronic ballast that either autodetects T12 vs. T8 bulbs, or at least has a switch. So rather than throwing away all the T12 bulbs (and their attendant...

    Where to find new (1500 cycle) Sanyo Eneloops in the USA

    Reason 1: no access to costco, no desire to. Reason 2: no desire to buy then immediately discard a piece of junk electronics: that will just encourage Sanyo to produce more of the same packaged product. Is the new Eneloop withheld from the wider USA market for some reason at this time? Ah...

    Where to find new (1500 cycle) Sanyo Eneloops in the USA

    I'm seeking a source for the new (as of 2010) Eneloop or Eneloop Tone batteries in the USA. I've read here on the forums that Costo stocked them, but only bundled with a poor quality charger (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=287231). Specifically I mean the Model HR-3UTGA /...
