eBay items from Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand take w a y longer to arrive than stuff from mainland China. Someone once remarked that China flies sixty jumbo jets a day to the USA loaded with packages. Big Airbus cargo jobs. A hundred tons each aircraft. Must be hard on runways...

That's some delivery window!

The package service is 1,310 miles round trip drive. And twenty-one dollars a month. So this month it's beans, tortillas, salt, chili, and music for me. I have a set of amber LED chips and 7-piece WiHa screwdriver set, up there, that has been gathering dust. Having major problems with the low volume on the phone. Everything is set to max, several youngsters say they can barely hear things. I use headphones. Even downloaded a volume boost App but it doesn't do a thing.

Beam someone else up - I'll walk. At least I'll get there. Extreme digital and I do not get along. It hates me.

Trade winds gently swinging the hammock. My NOOK has fallen flat against my chest. Lobster and Rice Pilaf for dinner. With seafood I enjoy a nearly frozen Negro Leon from Yucatan. With a twist of limon. High temp in the eighties today. A made-from-scratch coconut cream pie for dessert.

Any important spurious event is on a timer. I finally dropped the float to 13.22 for the Lifeline. Going to rig up another 5-amp floater for the toad and mount it permanently under the hood. With a hybrid starting battery (lead calcium oxide) negative plates, around 13.5 volts otter be perfect in these temps.

Upcoming chore: purchase 2-more Tenergy D cell NiMH batteries and holders and graft it onto my handy-dandy 190-LED floodlight. Should render 14-hours of very brighy light. Daylight is burning - gotta snooze...

Slacker!!!! What about that dumb phone with the smart owner, did ya get a decent LiIon fatty battery for that yet? Apple today just started selling wristband smartphones with a watch feature... $350 for an entry level one... the days of "Beam me up Scotty, this Planet sucks" are getting closer.

Gotta love it! Sounds like life is good! Unfortunately the only thing I can relate to currently is the 80+ temp here in Tucson.
Keep on chillin!

Sure, set it for 16.05V and when you hit that, turn everything off, you'v just equalize charged your batteries. Might wake you up from under that sombrero during your afternoon siesta, but at least you won't cook the batteries, or roast the lead plates in them.

I think during daytime siesta his solar controller is taking care of that, switching to 13.7V after it stayed at 15V for one hour. Most of them do.

Mex do you know of one for AC that is adjustable? Or one that would cut of power with in the set voltage range?

11.32V Low setting ?

"Voltage too low and too high display?Battery voltage is lower than 11.5V the "LOW" Yellow LED lights, at the same time a buzzer alarm ?Battery voltage is above 14.8 V the "HIGH" Red LED lights, at the same time a buzzer alarm."

For $15, I'm sure not adjustable.

Also ships from China; might take a while.

Looks useful.

[MEXICOWANDERER]

Adjustable?

11.32V Low setting ?
