    Has anyone been able to get REC to fully charge a battery?

    Failing discovery of a setup or firmware solution I would automate this sequence using something like an attiny85 or esp8266. Would be simple enough to monitor the REC for cell voltages and charge cycle status via the serial port or wifi, and make the setting adjustments when appropriate.

    Freezer using more and more power when compressor runs - is it about to die?

    Freezer using more and more power when compressor runs - is it about to die?

    It's usually external to the compressor and is a typical service part, especially on central a/c systems where they sometimes last only a few years before needing replacement.

    Dr Strangetroll : or how I learned to stop arguing and be amused by the intransigence

    Trump said many dumb things. His speeches were often cringe-worthy and I couldn't stand to watch them especially towards the end of his term. [I am already to that point with Biden, and he has a long way to go yet]. Biden is not the same, his mistakes appear to me to be coming from a state of...

    I would not consider any president to be competent in his job or responsibilities if he demonstrates cognitive issues such as being barely aware of what he is saying most of the time and/or who is around him - his staff is so fearful of what he might say next that they rarely allow him to speak...
