RE: Help me convert this power supply

It all depends upon what you are planning to charge. If you are charging relatively small 2 and 3 cell (LiPo) packs, you might be OK - don't try to charge a 5S 3000 mAhr pack. Keep in mind that...

RE: Help me convert this power supply

A 10 ohm resistor will load the 5V line to half its maximum of 1 amp. The PS only is capable of 100 watts on the 12 (13)V side. THis might do it but you might need a higher resistor (20 ohm?) on...

RE: Crack in starter battery casing...

You definately cooked it!! A typical 7 aH field battery should be charged at c/10 - 700 milliamps at most. Some will charge them at up to 2 amps but it doesn't do the battery any favors. Keep to...

RE: MRC SuperBrain "989" Charger

The maximum current at various voltages (total watts) is a critical specification for anyone buying a charger; especially a fairly "high-end" instrument like this one. I understand that the maximum...

RE: MRC SuperBrain "989" Charger

I strongly agree that an independent review would be very helpful. I know that there were safety related "issues" with a previous MRC charger and I suspect that there will be some reluctance from...

RE: think a tower 75 at 90$ is great? what about a mag 91 at 63$ then???

I just checked the website and they are listing the Sanye S91A at $82.30. Has the price jumped by $20? (Still a pretty good price but with shipping and probably no domestic warranty, it is hardly...

RE: Marez on Parallel Operation - One more time.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Unfortunately, the opinion expressed pays little attention to all of the possibilities. First of all, it would seem to me that the most likely mode of failure is...

RE: Sig Champion Fuel. Did I fry my engine.

The black may be simply due to a loose muffler bolt. In many two strokes (especially if you are not using a muffler gasket) the oil will come out black due to minute particles of aluminum caused by...

RE: Fuel starvation in a dive?

If you are accelerating in a dive, the fuel will remain in the back of the tank. If the fuel level is at least a third full, you will be OK on a modest (non-accelerating) downline. Otherwise, you...

RE: Over rated batteries?

You are discharging at too high a rate (C/2) to compare to the manufacturer's ratings. To check the ultimate capacity, you should probably discharge at a c/5 or c/10 rate to around 0.9V. If you are...

1) Your batteries are likely toast although you might try using a slow charge to bring them back.
