    9000w Electic Cooker and Hob - 6mm Ok

    Just a quickie to confirm really. My electric cooker and hob will be at 9000w if every single thing is maxed out at the same time. Ive bought 6mm for it, but just read that 10mm is correct. 6mm will be fine wont it?? i think 9000w is around 36 amps (ish)

    check mobile phone signal strength

    Ryobi - Faulty Charger?

    Cool, cheers. Might take a while though??? Will be putting in french doors this weekend, possibly a bit of rewiring, so might be able to run one of the batteries down?? Got no clue how long a battery will last! My dads Dewalt batteries will go almost all day with frequent use.
