That's rather high and suggests it's been on a charger of some sort --- smart, vehicle alternator? How are you using this Leisure battery and in / on what? They were wrong. That's 100% soc at 26.7 Celsius when measured with no load (open circuit) and any surface charge higher Voltage from...

LION is the battery brand not the chemistry - as you'd know if you'd followed the link. It's also a LEISURE flooded wet maintenance free Ca/Ca type. No they've been around for donkeys years (1930s Australia) long before lithium battery technology. Not the best reputation for quality though ;)...

If using as a Leisure / RV battery for off grid 12V services and then taking in to a building for recharging (using a suitable smart charger) the 'rule of thumb' is to NEVER discharge below 50% State of Charge for longevity. For that maintenance free Ca/Ca lead acid construction: Open...

https://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/professional/support/literature/greenstar-4000-combi-installation-manual page 12 Mentions that artificially softened (ion exchange) water must not be used to fill the central heating circuit - that with inhibitor in. {Much as my hot tub says to fill with tap...

Brass stop tap if fully open is allowing mains water to by-pass rather than push the water through the softener. Close it to ensure softener works? It's there to allow the softener to be isolated for repair / maintenance purposes but still allow the house to have water to use. What make and...

@davecooper I missed that you are in Cumbria and therefore may be in one of the known Arqiva Long Range Radio marginal / no reception spots. I'd urge you to speak to Octopus about getting your Comms unit swapped to a mobile phone version (without or with additional antenna)... as shown in the...

Suppliers get the smart meter readings via the DCC who receive the data via mobile phone or long range radio (South vs North/Scotland). One can sign up to Bright or similar apps to get the same data pulled from the DCC... That'll quickly prove if the smart meter Comms unit is talking to DCC...

Pretty unlikely on the sealed in socket of the underwater rover I'd suggest... without serious risk to that vehicle's water integrity. If it had been simple / safe to do, the OP would have accessed the internal battery/wiring and not be asking about polarity.

I've had the cistern flush pipe connection loosen and leak... also had a leak where the flush pipe fits into the toilet... Cistern tilted would have strained both those connection points and possibly caused a leak. I hate concealed cisterns. But they look nice.

I'd agree. Simplest way. --- and then you can attempt to dismantle the old one to access the cartridge and discover how that's almost impossible without damaging the chrome parts. That cartridge is circa £35 delivered from...

Others are reporting similar https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/photos-coming-out-sideways.653681/ Right mouse click image... Select <edit> and rotate picture within the editor (works on Win11 Edge, other OS and browsers may differ). But the OP should be alerted to get it right... via @<name>...

I would not think there is an infallible convention. What voltage does a DC multimeter show on the pins of the underwater vessel? You could perhaps ask the supplier/maker? https://www.arkmodel.com/contact_us.php FWIW my wife's power wheelchair batteries have pin1 of a 3-pin XLR as +ve and pin...

Not me mate. A different Rod it must be.

Direct cable pickup. Not that uncommon. Used to cause a pre-ghost image on some communal antenna systems in analogue days. Not that reliable usually in the long term, so needs sorting. 18 miles is a bit far... I'm about 9 from Sandy Heath and room aerials work ok much of the time in the...

https://cpc.farnell.com/mbs-connect/sp1310-p2iic/circular-plug-2-pole-5-8mm-ip68/dp/CN21307 looks to have the keyway to my eyes https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/3165736.pdf may help with measurement checks. Assuming the aliexpress item is not suitable. Other suppliers of SP13 connectors are...

That's because it's not "drywall" or a hollow plasterboard partition wall. It looks like plasterboard dot-dabbed onto blockwork to me. You want different fixings: Fischer dot dab or Corefix are made specifically for the purpose; but long screws and long wallplugs may suffice if they go into...

Sure it's 400mm? 410 mm seems a commonplace length if including pins... and may find more results for old but new stocks. https://www.bltdirect.com/13-watt-fluorescent-smilight-tubes-warm-white-410mm-1 and...

Get longer plate fixing screws. Affix blanking plate atop the existing double socket. Do one screw first, then the second. No need to disturb existing wiring that way. May not be suitable solution for a double switched socket though. Better would be to teach youngun that there's nothing...

OK you have me wondering, now. I'm off to fit a Meross smart socket with energy monitor to the Miele Heat Pump tumble dryer to know how much it uses from today onwards )for a while, at least). To be frank I had no idea how little the washer was actually costing in electric. The circa £40-50 of...

FWIW my Miele TwinDos washer is "smart" and has a 'report' that says we've done 16 cycles this month... 5.5 kWh in total and 342 litres of water. 9 in October: 3.3 kWh, 226 litres 19 September: 4.4 kWh, 336 litres. 17 August: 4.0 kWh, 340 litres. The Year total has 202 cycles, 47.4 kWh and 3...
