Ive not had any major issues with usb c cables but my phone can only charge at 1.68 amps max. A few cables that came with usb c flashlights are questionably jacketed, and i dont try and pass data over those, but they pass 1.68 amps. My longer 10' cables drop half a volt along them and max...

No idea if this could be adequate for the application, but I have an inexpensive optical tachometer. Attach provide reflective sticker to hub, aim red laser at sticker, read rpm.

I loved Hot sauce. Well, still do, but now attempt to instead, add the spicy heat with actual diced peppers, and skip the sodium and 'other' that comes in hot sauce bottles.

Dont under estkmate the effect.of the cables, and the conditikn of their connectors, themselves, in achieving higher charge rates. I have a 10' high quality usb c cable. With my usb c meter at the far end of this 10' cable, it reads 4.610v and 1.021 amps. With my usb c meter attached to 7"...

I didnt keep this, My dad did.

I forget which brand i have that, plugs into a 12vdc powerport, but it has 2 usb outputs, one labelled 2.1 amps the other displays 1.0 amps max. I can get a few hundredths more from either, but no more, and that could be measurement tool inaccuracy. More recently i got this 8-23vdc in, 5vdc 3...

I recently got a ridgid to ryobi battery adapter for under 20$. IM Considering the small tanked 18v ryobi compressor to run my pin nailer, but for now i use it in my dads ryobi leaf blower. If I want to acquire a ryobi or makita or dewalt or Milwaukee 18v tool, instead of the ridgid offering...

I see this when streaming videos with one older wifi only phone. I can't really figure out why, but sometimes this old samsung phone decides to charges at only 0.41 amps max, and rarely will allow 1.16 amps, and using my most reliable powerful 3 amp supply and shortest cable, makes no...

What is kind of strang is my phone has a toggle option for fast charging. With a good supply and short cables, and a battery under 80%, it charges at 1.68 amps regardless of whether i enabled fast recharge or not. The only difference is whether it says fast recharge when usb cable is first...

Ive seen many USB supplies not be able to output their rated amperage, over short, quality cables with recentky deOxited connections. If i did not check with a USB meter id remIn clueless as to what supplies and cables perform substandard. There are times when want my phone to recharge as fast...

I go through this every so often with my dad. The 3v lithium battery still reads over 3v and he declares it still good but device does not work. Replace cell and it does. Ive measured some coin cells new out of packaging as high as 3.68v, and some as low as 3.21v, and some devices still worked...

Peel up the sticker over the hub. Press impeller towards C clip. Remove C clip. Remove impeller. Note position of spring. Remove impacted dust from inside. Bearings likely have part number printed on them. Ive regreased them before. Polishing, then waxing the impeller blades and interior fan...

Ive used an accellerometer app on my phone, resting against the frame of speed controlled, high power/rpm computer/server fans to reduce vibration and noise, to great effect. Lots of trial and error moving different size pieces of tape around hub and blades, watching x y z change amplitude, and...

Those 80mm? fans,.... think one or more failed, and helped lead to the magic smoke escaping? I lucked out once, and heard when a noisy cheapo 40mm sleeve bearing fan quit spinning on a charger, and I promptly shut it down. I had a 60mm fan handy. Modified the intake to accept it, and charger...

I've seen many atc /ato fuse holders do this. The terminals holding the fuses are flag terminals. Brass, as copper is not springy enough for multiple.insertion/removals. Brass has much more resistance than copper, and how well the crimp is made within the molded plastic fuse holder is highly...

My 85 YO dad, has had poor hearing for 50+ years, and had put off hearing aids for far too long, for all the regular reasons, and regrets the delay. He, now, has a cochlear implant. The second one. Second Surgery, as the first had some tiny percetage of the connectivity between internal and...

The Dewalt 20v battery, uses 5 cells in series. 18v battery packs, use 5 18650 cells in series. 4.0ah and larger capacity use 5 series 2 parallel. There are some 21700 cells in power tool packs. The difference?... nominal voltage vs closer to full charge voltage and the different rules for...

I had a great 12v compact '180 PSi' inflator back in the mid 90's. I'd air down 4 30x10.5x15s to the high teens for soft sand driving, then back upto 30 something for back on the pavement. It quit in the early 2000's. From then till about 2007 I went through several 12v models. They all became...

I use my router speed controller to tame my 40 watt Weller, for the small delicate stuff. Pretty Much use the RSC daily on various implements..angle grinder, belt sander, shopVac.
