Well, I strongly disagree with that consensus! When lead-acid batteries are charged past full charge (as your trickle charger is doing), the water in the electrolyte disassociates into hydrogen and

Like you, I bought two. One of them died the first time I tried to use it. The other appears to be a simple regulated voltage source, which should keep a fully charged battery from self-discharging

FWIW, the instructions that came with my 12v Ryobi specifically say it's OK to leave the spare battery in the charger. However, the battery pack gets warm when you do, so the charger is still doing

IMO they wear out quickly because they are not properly maintained, the design flaw is only that they require some care in maintenance and tightening. If the knockoff is kept properly tightened (whi

Basically because there's no need for more strength in that application, and it costs money to make splines. Wire wheel splines are also more sensitive to the sort of wear that would result from con

The miracle of gear ratios : speed times torque remains nearly constant, so if a gear train reduces the rpm, it increases the torque by the same ratio. Surely you've noticed how much harder your car

No one said they don't absorb _any_ of the torque, only not _all_ of it. If nothing else, they keep the wheel from slipping while the spinner tightens itself. It doesn't, necessarily. The splines we

Catalogs and web sites are somewhat counter to the "Aero Surplus" paradigm ... I don't know of any place to recommend. Used to be a huge one in Dayton OH, but I can't even think of the name offhand.
