Clore has a new article on programming recovery. Recovery from Voltage Drop

The Greenworks Pro impact wrenches got a good review from Torque Test Channel, for performance and build quality. The batteries can be charged at 65W via USB-C.

0w-40 is sold out at my local Walmart:(

The SecureContact AW versus Michelin CC2

Nokian has been working on this for a long time, and it is finally here. https://na.nokiantyres.com/hakkapeliitta-01/ https://autosphere.ca/tires/2026/03/09/stud-on-stud-off/

A new video from TTT.

The Bulk1-Bulk2-Bulk3 charging profile looks like something the marketing department wanted.

Before I tossed my deceased 5 year old Pro-Logix PL2320 into the trash can, I opened it up for a look. The black box at top-center is a Sanyou 16A relay. I don't see any leaking capacitors.

Did they ever respond to your video?

8A x 14.4V = 115.2W. I don't see 115 watts being a problem for ring connectors. CTEK is missing out on selling an optional ring terminal cable for $45.

The Gen2 version of this 8 amp $300 charger was recently announced: https://www.ctek.com/ctek-magazine/ctek-launches-cs-one-(gen-2)-battery-charger?srsltid=AfmBOoolZH5fHmFuKWNhV8ailRVacNc8MlQRRhmKo-K6kU-5aG3debJK...

I can't think of any good reason to cycle the AC power to a charger every 2-3 seconds at the end of charging, when the charger is in float phase. If this is a feature, it should be mentioned in the user's manual, but it is not. I am returning my sample to Amazon tomorrow. I have totally lost...

Snow Traction is a complex subject. https://tst.kglmeridian.com/view/journals/tist/53/4/article-p295.xml

Made a few measurements today, on the PL2310, after it was 98% done with charging, and still connected to the battery. The charger was displaying 13.2V and the relay was clicking every 2 seconds. DC current to the battery read "zero" on my Fluke clamp meter, and the DC voltage was pretty stable...

Both samples of PL2310 (one I received in Dec 2025, the other I received Feb 2026) have a relay clicking excessively near the end of charging.

My 5 year old PL2320 never ran the fan immediately after connecting to AC power. My 1st PL2310 ran the fan immediately after connecting to AC power. My 2nd PL2310 never ran the fan immediately after connecting to AC power. Running the fan at startup seems to be an inconsistent "feature".
