    Electronic Expert Required - Battery Charging

    Thanks MP but as Harry says he kindly explained that earlier ... and while I'm here ... Q1. what is the purpose of the bulb being in the circuit ? and Q2. is the only way to reduce the voltage back to 2.7ish by connecting a bulb and waiting for it to go down? It's just that the torch worked...

    Suprabeam Q7xr torch not working

    Every time I’ve asked a question on here I’ve ended up with a solution … it will be a miracle if I manage it on this occasion. I’m trying to bring a Suprabeam Q7xr back to life. When the battery only had 2.78 volts the torch worked as it should high, medium, low output and flashing. Now...

    Electronic Expert Required - Battery Charging

    I was going to mark this thread title as SOLVED but the option doesn't seem to be available. I'm happy with the battery charging now - thank you for the help - but need to have a new title related to the torch problem.

    Electronic Expert Required - Battery Charging

    Also when the battery had only 2.78 volts and worked normally it would only do so for a few minutes, the light would go out and the battery voltage would be zero.

    Old Union Locks without Keys, how to find key code..?

    Have you found any keys of the correct size that go in but don’t turn ? If so I’d open the lock and change the position of the 3 levers randomly, you may be lucky and change the lock to fit the key

    Electronic Expert Required - Battery Charging

    Having no idea how long it would take I held it on for 1 minute and the voltage went from zero to 2.84V so I tried it for a further 30 seconds ... it was still 2.84V ... I repeated the 30 secs it remained at 2.84V Tried it in the 1000 lumens torch and it lights up OK Turned the torch on and...

    Weeping inline isolation valve

    I don't think Silicon sealer adheres to anything wet ... it may be worth opening a closing it a few times if you haven't already. Ray

    Electronic Expert Required - Battery Charging

    I have a flat Re-chargeable 26650 Li-ion Battery 3.7v 5000nAh 18.5Wh and no charger. It had 2.78 volts and was lighting a torch yesterday ... it now reads 0.00V on a digital meter. I wondered if I have something in the house to make one just to check if it will charge. If so I can send for a...

    If you have a similar window in working order you’ll be able to determine the wire shape needed and have a practice un-latching it. Ray

    Bosch Classixx 6 stopping at rinse cycle (SOLVED)

    Started machine on 30 degrees this morning. It went off after a minute or so ... ALL the lights out as usual. Turned my attention to the power supply. Run an extension cable from the house to the washhouse and the machine worked perfectly. Checked the 13amp socket with a tester and found it...

    Euro cylinder stuck in uvpc door

    Considering it will only come out with the key in the correct position… I’d abandon the drilled side and try to restore the key rotation then assume it was just stuck in the locking mechanism and needs an hammer to knock it through. Ray

    Bristan mixer shower runs lukewarm

    Is it one of those cases where you could remove the control knob, perhaps held on with a grub screw, and move the knob round on a spline so it effectively turns the spindle further towards hot

    A couple of weeks ago a similar thing happened at my son's house The whole lower half of the locking mechanism had detached itself from the handle. I was able to easily operate the bottom SIDE bolt with a piece of bent wire - open the window - remove the side and bottom keep until new lock...
