Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables are the ones to get as they don't go flat after a few weeks of not being used. Some NiMH cells can lose over 50% of their charge doing nothing in just a few weeks.
As for chargers don't go for the all singing all dancing rapid ones, they just cook themselves and the cells.
Since I accepted charge times of hours rather than minutes the problems I had which were similar to yours have gone.
Meteors and asteroids are the products of collisions and its safe to say the huge one that passed us by was going to have some debris following it. It was the size of an Olympic pool Friday but it would have been even bigger thousands of years ago, did they think the fallout from millions of old collisions just evaporated?
You say it will be barred from Europe and refer to a standard on a none European website?
Failure to comply to EN60950 is not a reason to bar an item from Europe. Failure to comply with the LVD (Low voltage directive) is the only way to bar an item from Europe.
Compliance with EN60950 does not automatically infer compliance with the directive.
You can market something provided it complies with the directive even if it does not meet EN60950.
But they are crap. They give you a 5 day forecast and change it every couple of hours.
They give a % because the whole process is so complicated they can't give a definitive answer, so why bother?
I have given up trying to predict lottery numbers, it's too complicated. So I guess, and I'm not too proud to admit it.
Has our Jimmy been tried and found guilty then?
They guy is dead and the government is probably spending a children's hospital per year to do exactly what about him?
It was an indirect reference to the guy, so bloody what, who cares? Obviously do gooders with nothing better to do.
Because they still work very well with no GPS signals. The GPS antenna on my car died but the satnav still worked perfectly. It uses the compass to know which way its pointing, reads the speedo and figures out very nicely where you are. I had no GPS signal for 6 weeks but the satnav was still spot on.
The other big plus point is you don't have have a stupid lump stuck to your windscreen obstructing your view and 50 miles of cable running off to a fag socket.
The down side is they add obscene costs to the price of a car.
