    Docan Power fees

    My point is that the fee was never mentioned, it just appeared on the invoice at checkout and then the reason for the fee changed. But there are plenty of other suppliers. https://www.evcomponents.com/4ps-eve-3-2v-280ah-lifepo4-cells.html

    Docan Power fees

    I made an order for 18 of the 280Ah cells from Docan, shipped from the Texas warehouse. Went to the checkout and on the invoice was a $76 'transaction fee'. No mention of this fee prior to checkout and no details of what the fee was for. E-mailed the company to be told the fee was for...

    EG4 6500 EX Under an Oscilloscope

    How do you set up your scope to read that high voltage? I've a Tektronix 2445A which I use for hobby electronics, mainly just Arduino projects, so 12 - 14V maximum for relays etc. I've already let the magic smoke out of plenty of other things, so I know how quickly I could ruin my scope. ;)

    EVE 280A cells black Friday sale.

    UPS tried, but failed to damage them. TaDa With the supplied studs, which I'll talk about in a moment About those studs, and this isn't a criticism, just an observation and a warning. The tapped holes in the mounting go all the way through, so if you use bolts or are a bit careless with the...
