    Laptop batteries.

    Whenever I'm near a mains outlet. I take the battery out and run it directly from the mains. That means for 90% of the time, the battery life clock stops ticking. For the other times after I had to run it on battery, I charge it back up to about 95% full. That is it. Then I take the battery...

    Aldi folding rechargeable led light.

    Thanks. I have decided to pass it up. It didn't look all that nice and like AAS said it was a bit hard to hold.

    What watch you're wearing?

    SceMan, your post reminds me of the watch that I inherited from Dad when he died 2 years ago last week. I have been finding it difficult to wear it. But I think I'm going wear it now.

    Batteries for camera

    Charger Opus BT-C2000 discharge takes forever ?

    Charger Opus BT-C2000 discharge takes forever ?

    Like you said, At discharge termination 0mA current is displayed in that channel. When you press the DISPLAY button, shouldn't it display the discharged capacity rather than "0"?
