In celebration of product review number 69 I decided to exceed the regular scope and make a full-on video review of this very helpful item, showing its use in a real-world scenario with additional audio commentary available on my second channel. […]
Some random power bank, we haven’t had those for quite some time now, have we…
This heap of trash actually came from eBay, which nowadays rarely has the best offers for China-shopping. I bought this back in December 2018 for 22.99€ including shipping, and as far as I can recall, I arrived so quickly that it must have been sent from an European warehouse.
The reason for buying a “jump starter” type of power bank was that at the time I had some project running that needed a ~12V supply. In the end, we decided for a different solution, but a 3S lithium cell configuration would have done the job. […]
Something out of the ordinary for today, a brand new item, bought for disassembly and kind-of off-label use. A Bosch Professional USB charger which happens to have a 12V port also…
Contrary to my very first thought when I found this charger, it does NOT allow 18V batteries to be charged from USB or a 12V source. Maybe I should test that, but I doubt it. However, it does convert the other way – stick in a 18V power tool battery (ranging from 1.5Ah to 12Ah as of today) and get a USB charger with a lot of oomph, or a “heated jacked” power source with a lot of potential for baggy pockets.

Hey there!
It’s been a while and I was busy buying some gear…and getting some mail 
Now I have a decent camera ready (for almost 4 hours at the time of writing! 
) and this is gonna be the first shot on Wan Hung Lo products. My light box is not ready yet, it still lacks light – box is complete , so you’ll notice my lighting and camera setup still needs some improvement. Well, that’ll come with time.
So, I had five single-cell powerbanks ready that I bought from AliExpress. Cost per unit with free shipping was 1,01€ (bulk I guess), current price is 1,05€ single or 0,98€ for bulk orders of 5+ units. […]
[…] Two weeks ago, I wrote about a Dallas/Odin RTC module with integrated battery that caused me some trouble on…
I encountered one of these Dallas devices when a former employer called me and asked if I could fix her…

Thanks a lot for all!
I don' think a fully depleted lithium battery of any chemistry (MnO2, SOCl2, FeS) poses a risk at that size,…
