Look at the 1 and 2 star reviews: "1.0 out of 5 stars Vastly overstated capacity Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024 These batteries are marked as having "9900 mAh". My testing using 5 testers and 9 tests averaged 1226 mAh -- only 12% of the stated capacity!" Another: "1.0 out of 5...

First: 18650 indeed denotes the physical size -- 18 mm in diameter and 650 mm in length (Metric here). Second: Lithium Ion batteries have "Nominal" voltage rating (that would be the 3.7 volts) and max charge rating (there's your 4.2 volt number). In all probability, you have Lithium Cobalt...

I'm self employed, I work out of the house, I have no boss standing over my shoulder. Another thing that helps motivate me is I keep a daily log of everything I do. This log is then shared with 3 other people; folks that I work with and answer to. It's like the gold star on the board in...

Preface; I'm 57. I can relate to diminishing zest & zeal to get things done -- to a point. We got rid of public/cable TV back in 1999. I don't have that distraction (but obviously I now have the internet). If there's a choice between watching a sitcom or sanding a fender, the choice becomes...

My favorite veggie is potatoes. Looks good to me, but it involves potatoes. Anything else is peripheral.

Go to buy a chain saw, there are now more electric options than gas. Check out the latest lawn mower offerings -- again, electric outnumber the gas offerings. I happen to be an engineer in the electric motor arena, and am trying to make these things actually make financial and practical sense...

There is at least 1 DIY Solar Group on facebook, and a DIY Solar Forum (can't find the link off hand). There are really cheap solar panels out of Texas, bargain used charge controllers and inverters, and innovative ways to tap the battery's DC to directly drive loads (LED lights, BLDC motors to...

Curios, all '84s had the 4-lug. G-bodies, Shelby Chargers, and I thought the GLH-T got the 5-lug starting in '85. I know I parted an '86 GLH and scarfed the 5-lug stuff for my '84 Charger.

There was also a 1.6 liter Peugeot engine.

Don't know what you paid, but it may be a significant score; if for no other reason than to document & preserve history.

I play in the battery and energy arena, and have professional friends that do as well; including EV's. My friends & I see many of the pitfalls pointed out in this thread, and believe we have at least some answers. Advocates of ICE platforms are building arguments around over a century and a...

Just last night I watched a movie, "Snake & Mongoose" that had a few scenes with "The Hawaiian" in. I told my wife how he had passed away just a day or 2 ago.

Assuming the discussion applies to household AC powered bulbs, I found that the King of QATAR mandated all LED lighting sold in his Kingdom last (if I recall) a minimum of like 25 years. He also decreed they be more efficient than the ones sold around the rest of the world. As of last time I...

Your car, your call. Until paperwork is signed, it's still YOUR car. If you need the money, get it while you can. Not many folks are in a position to shell out that sort of money on a classic car. However, ..... Why did you want to sell it in the first place?!?

Ooohf! Nice!

You say it's "an original 340 duster with a shark tooth grill", yet the tail end of the side stripe states "Twister". Twisters came with the shark tooth grill, but not the 340 (I owned 2). Questioning the details. Still a gorgeous car, and appreciate you sharing. Did it have the square...

My approach is that if you "multi-task", you don't do any of the tasks to the best of your ability. However, much of my work involves computers that may take some time. So if I "initiate" a time consuming task and do other things, I can give the other task my full attention. Pre-planning is...

May I suggest moving (replicating) this to Member's Restorations. Folks looking for posts like this are more likely to search there.

The first picture looked like possibly some fancy new Direct Injection piston. Second one revealed the valve. HOW THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN?!?

Harry Potter, please report to Herbology

Over the years, work has taken me all across the US and Canada, to Hong Kong (2X), South Korea (3X), China (8X), Saudi Arabia (2X), Jordan (7X), Italy, Costa Rica, and now one of the US states where commercial marijuana growth is legal. As an engineer, it is my job to reduce energy costs and...

"Before" wasn't all that bad, frankly.

Valves for my 4.0 to 4.6 Jeep stroker engine. I call it Powre Ringz!

I'm all for fixing what's there, personally. I find the Rallye Dash the sexiest gauge cluster ever made.

I sold a 1959 Imperial about 2 years ago, but started advertising it about 5 years ago. I priced it at $3500, and had absolutely no takers. 3 years later, a fellow in Texas snagged it and couldn't believe I was selling it for so little. I get how value changes over time.

I'm getting a bit tired of folks jumping on this (and other) Forum(s); their first post is, "I have a car/part and want to know what it's worth". They can do their research, post whatever they have for sale and see what feedback they get, but asking what it's worth drives me bonkers! The...

Ooof!!?! I'm happily married, but... Wow!?! WTF??

My kid sister in front of my '74 Duster, around 1985.

A shot of the Demon before I started tearing it apart.

Same duster, same picture, but with the '71 Demon not cropped out.
