Re: Lithium battery output

I put a normal click on torch on the lithium battery and it has an inbuilt switch and not as bright it's not heating up at all so it's gotta be the draw on the bigger led chip.
I wonder if it's supposed to work with a heatsink and I'm just wiring it on like a n00b

Lithium battery output

Hi guys This is a battery question but not vehicle. I've got a 9v alkaline and a 9v lithium ion battery here and they're attached to an led chip. The output on the lithium would be about two and a half times to the alkaline but they both measure the same voltage across the points. Can anyone tell me...

Re: APM Track

we ended up walking chancellor spur track and I did walk down to one of the tributary streams that supposedly forms part of bunyip river but I think it was only flowing because it was raining.

I won't even see Christmas in Aussie u...

APM Track

Hey Guys, this is a long shot but does anyone know of APM Track near Beenak and goes across the Bunyip River? A friend and I were looking for possible campsites around there and that was a good spot because I can take my dog there and it has a water source but the track was largely overgrown, we did...

Fair enough it's the world we live in these days.
Will have to wait another year to not buy an ARB fold out camping chair.

Covid Isolation Support

I'm us...
