    An explosion-proof flashlight?

    Thanks guys; I'm just going to take a quick look myself, then take the car back to the mechanic.

    An explosion-proof flashlight?

    I'm having some trouble with my 2004 Subaru Forester's evap system (it throws a code on the OBDII). I read today that one possible cause is a hole in the fuel filler neck. So I thought, maybe it's worth a look. But in order to really see anything (even in daylight), I'm going to need a bright...

    Charging quirks

    Hey guys; Whether it be Li, NiMh, or NiCd, I have noticed that if you wait for the battery to fully charge - as indicated by the charger - then restart the charge cycle by power-cycling the charger or removing then replacing the batteries - that the batteries will take an additional charge...

    Need a new charger for AGM & wet car batteries

    After doing some shopping (mostly on Amazon) I have come to the usual conclusion: Some brands are better than others, but every brand makes some duds. That is, if you believe the negative reviews on Amazon. But then I don't really trust Amazon reviews anyway. That said, after some thought, I...

    Need a new charger for AGM & wet car batteries

    I have an aging Black & Decker Smart Battery Charger. I don't know the exact model #, but the front panel looks like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rXjgIQqwtuBiFAlZAir6nLjUJ9M14TcD/view?usp=sharing Today when I needed to use the charger, it required repair. The AC power cord shorted on...

    Pinpoint flashlight?

    Yea, I guess I am going a bit far to inspect a pair of $150 earbuds. I would expect that LEP to cost at least that much. Perhaps the fiber optic attachment would be a better option, and could be useful for other things. Turns out the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds I am trying to inspect do not...

    Pinpoint flashlight?

    Hey guys; I am looking for a flashlight that can direct a tiny beam into my Jabra earbuds. I am having issues with them, and want to find out whether there is anything inside the bud. I need to shine the light into the tiny hole the sound comes out of. I have several lights, but none of them can...

    Looking for good household flashlight

    Thanks for your suggestions; I don't know what I was thinking when I said that I preferred alkaline batteries. I wouldn't trust them over long time. I would use Eneloops instead, or as was suggested, just get the rechargeable and top them off every few months. But if I did go with (built-in)...

    Looking for good household flashlight

    Hey guys; Can anyone recommend a good LED flashlight that can be wall mounted (so it's always visible and available when needed). I prefer alkaline to rechargeable batteries, as the latter would require an electrical socket near the light, and that is not so easy to find in this old house...

    Amazon Kindle 7th gen. Replace battery or get new Kindle?

    The replacement battery is on the way. It cost me only $22, and if I am successful in replacing, I will have saved one Kindle from the trash heap. It's still working perfectly (except for short battery life), and I really don't need the built-in light that comes with even the base model now. If...

    Amazon Kindle 7th gen. Replace battery or get new Kindle?

    It's a Kindle e-reader basic 7th gen. No backlight on this model, and no cellular; just WiFi and USB.

    Amazon Kindle 7th gen. Replace battery or get new Kindle?

    Hey all; I've got a 5yr old Kindle 7th gen. The OEM battery isn't holding its charge very well anymore (as expected). I am trying to decide whether to replace the battery, or the entire Kindle. A Google search for the battery led me to what appears to be an excellent source for the battery...

    Which Eneloops for my Amateur Radio HT?

    Re: Which Eneloops For My Amateur Radio HT? It would make sense to keep batteries with nearly the same capacity together, so, as they discharge, you don't wind up with one or more completely dead cells while others still have some juice left in them. I have been keeping a database (MS Access)...
