    Inverter with shore power - Question ???

    Couple things..... You can reduce the Vf(forward break over voltage) of the typical 0.5V-0.7V of a standard diodes to a Vf of 0.2-0.3V by selecting/using "Schottky" diode's. This might be more acceptable with a 14.6V supply in the example above of the "Renogy Wanderer, then the boost voltage is...

    charging not working on Merc 850 1974

    Unless you have a low ohms meter and you're measuring strictly the stator's windings, you're looking more or less for an open circuit or a short to the iron core more than anything else, would be tough otherwise to really know if some windings were shorted to each other........ BUT even...

    Lowrance HDS9 Gen 2 Touch issue

    As you have described how the problem randomly comes and goes, I agree with DB, screen looks at bit too spastic to be anything normal, it's the unit having internal issues.

    I ran a Ubuntu machine back some years ago, 2008/9/10 worked nice, used it's C based Linux OS for coding/compiling C/C++ projects, but was so limited in its main stream 3rd party SW as most SW manu's (like 90% back then) designed their wares around the damn MS platform....Must be nice to be...

    Charging batteries in boat with ACR

    When operating in your boat, the ACR normally always hooks one battery to the other to charge the other battery......That's is, for lack of a better word, how your battery's have been conditioned to charge all boating season long, why change that now? Still can maintain/charge them the same way...

    Man this sounds familiar, I still have a 95 machine running because of this same situation. I still have MS-DOS installation floppy's....lol. Those were the days, seems we've only went backwards from a much simpler time. Sorts miss those good ole days............

    Ditto and it's just unfortunate most programs default to being designed to running on MS else I think 99% of us would dump MS soooooooo fast their heads would spin.

    Have too with ONLY one thing..........Samsung Smart Cams(FF or Chrome not supported), else I've used and been on FF and Chrome for years myself. BUT, the platform still remains MS and THAT is also a nightmare with some 3rd party stuff because MS still backdoors even those...The battle continues

    Par for the course........Bloatware with much more MS control!! MS will force it down our throats by slowly and intentionally degrading our current stuff......IE is a prime example, MS now is taking control of your use of IE so as to force us to use the MS Edge garbage. MS is taking down IE...

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    You then jarred things around by unscrewing and putting thing back together? So my guess would be that maybe in the process of moving/jimmying things around while taping screws off, it bumped/jarred something just enough that it isn't shorting now..........a hot was bumping up to either a...

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    (y) Oooo, the ole test lamp, home style that is!!!............With a short(or high current load), she'll be bright bright and with a load equal to same wattage as the bulb, it'll be half bright. Those small wall transformers are maybe 250mA, so 30 Watt say and a 60 Watt test bulb should be...

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    So I wonder if it is just something in the wiring(a hot got nicked loooong time ago and now rubbing a bare earth for example) and NOT anything being plugged in? Perhaps because it's so random the real problem has you chasing ghosts? Random due to maybe time/temperature/humidity intermittent...
