Morning everyone.

 

If you bank with nab then be aware that their online services and eftpos aren't working this morning. Bring another card with you if you need to get petrol!

Well frig.

 

Nbnco has just decided to axe the 100/40 plan for wireless nbn. They reckon it'll cost too much to implement and no one will have a use for it anyway.

 

My arse, I'd use it and had planned to swap asap. I've got 10 devices attached to my modem that want internet ffs.

nbnco has a lot to answer for with what they've done over the entire roll out.

 

the amount of people they could have hooked up with FTTP with the money they're wasting making FTTN, HFC and FTTC work is atrocious.

I bought a $40 charger about 7 years ago and it only stopped working recently when it got wet. With 6 amps it would make a flat battery usable for at least one start in about 15 minutes and on 4 then 2 amps it would top it right up in a day or two.

 

The only downside is it wouldn't start charging a super flat battery, you could short it to start it though, and it wouldn't charge the fark out of it to clean the plates. Also with manual switching it isn't particularly "smart" but it did the trick and would float when it had charged the battery. Apparently they make them in an 8/4/2 amp version now.

 

Lol cheers for reminding me, I need a new battery charger too.

What exactly do you need to do with it. How many vehicles you have got. The better chargers have recondition mode. I use projecta brand.

What model is your one arron? I usually use them for charging near dead batteries and reconditioning them, (Not sure if it actually works lol) Not really for maintenance charging.

I have over 20 battery  chargers. This one does it all except Lithium.  Fully adjustable for current and battery type. Has for me brought many batteries back from the dead. 

 

Its expensive but I have had mine for many years and its the best I have used. A flat battery. 5 - 10 mins on 25A and it will start. Check out all the features.

 

It also is a 25A 12V power supply.
