In the past NL was about low power consumption, sadly it seems a growing consensus with NL owners is they are not what they use to be, too many quality control issues and fridges failing well within 10years. Then SM decided there is more to life than power consumption and moved twords power...

Without knowing the exact details we will never know the full picture. Why is my new HPM 10a 10meter lead contacts too hot to touch with just 2000watts convection heater??????? That's just a sign of the times sadly, so many dangerous things in this world. Given the extreme complexity of EVs and...

I dont use gas lanterns because they burn through alot of gas, are delicate in transit, they cant be used in a tent, they produce a rather low output of light (300-500lumens if that) I do miss that sound of them however, it takes me back to the old days before technology intraped us all. :D I...

Lithium actually smokes lead crystal, LC is just a modified version of an AGM, there are agms that can be charged very fast like lifeline. All Li-mangease 3.6v and lifepo4 3.2v cells can be fast charged at 1C from empty to near 100%, some ESS grades even do better. The cells used in these...

A 700watt microwave could be 100amps draw nominal on the battery. I wouldn't even be crazy enough to put that kind of load on a lifepo4 130ah. But with an agm they suffer from Peukert, which means they are sluggish and the voltage sags massively under high current loads. The 130ah capacity...
