Hi Sten and those fully charged,
Now what is Dick's thread and what part of him is it hanging from? (;->)
Yeah, you sure did get carried away, when we find that rogue animal and
rescue you we'll shoot it so it poses no more danger to your village.
(;->)
What he heck is a "silischium rectifier", and what could that material
possibly be since I can't find it on the periodic table? That's at least
half serious even if "silichisium" sounds like some technobabble in a
science fiction movie.
Oh, there is a BIG difference between "deionized" water and distilled,
it's far less an expensive process to run it through a demineralizer
(water softener) than a still. I have serious doubts you'll find
distilled water outside the laboratory.
A car battery is a robust device due to it's internal construction,
nothing else. It was designed to supply high current in short bursts for
starting so it has a resivoir at the bottom to collect particulates that
fall off the plates during that part of the cycle. Otherwise it's an
ordinary lead-acid battery, those particles would short the grid plates
and ruin the cells, the deep cycle marine batteries for example have no
need for that consideration. Electrically all lead-acid batteries are
robust devices which is why we don't use nicads instead in such
applications, Edison had the right idea from the start. (See electric
vehicles.)
"Got it?"
Yeah, probably long before many out there too. (;->)
Oh, if your car "blows a fuse" when you charge the battery in circuit you
have a piece of crap for a car. Sell it to some sucker and buy quality,
think "Japanese". Yeah, I may be an American but I haven't driven
anything from "The Big Three" since they ruined them in the 70s and still
haven't got it right.
Oh throw away that silly hygrometer! If the car won't start, charge the
battery and if it still craps out replace it. Whether you replace the
battery, alternator or car is up to you and stick with sealed batteries,
alternators unless designed for an ambulance, police car or fire truck
can't possibly boil the water out, they simply lack the output capacity.
FYI, again worth mentioning is never try to charge a flat battery from
the alternator after jump starting. You'll likely fry the alternator,
it's not designed for full output over an extended period. It's best to
let the source vehicle's battery bring yours up decently before starting
the motor so you don't burn out either alternator. No, when your battery
is THAT low the other battery supplies most of the current, the source
alternator takes over after the battery comes up a enough to balance the
current drain. yeah, it will draw first from the higher current source, a
bit of Ohm's Law.
"Where is the beer?"
Sorry mate, ran out of water so I put it in the battery, drank the rest.
"Where is your putput?"
Uh, I'm sitting on it.
"A fully charged battery would never be so" what? I guess it would help
if you finished the sentence. (;->) 'Scuse me, got to take a break and
eat some beans, my putput is running out of gas.
