    Your temu orders

    don't suppose any of you know what logistics Temu are using to get cargo to SA? I entertain myself with Flightradar24 sometimes, and I kept an eye on it over the weekend knowing my package was on the way, and I didn't see any flights come in from anywhere east yet the package was somehow here by...

    Parents desperate after Sassa suspends 150,000 child support grants

    My guy, the grant is why they have kids, it's 18 years of some kind of income they would never have had otherwise. Kids can be rented out to begging syndicates in the meantime, and then left to figure out their lives (i.e. career in crime) at 18.

    Lalela battery disappointment

    Reporting back for future reference - I'm happy to report that the battery appears back to normal capacity. What I did, for a week I only very lightly discharged it, keeping it above 13.3V (unconnected), and charging it to 100% before each light discharge. I ran a test on the weekend and it was...

    Lalela battery disappointment

    Fingers crossed, I'm testing it and so far it's looking (excuse the pun) positive. I'll definitely try keep it from ever dropping low enough for the BMS to step in again.

    Lalela battery disappointment

    Yes, without inverter connected voltmeter usually reflects 0.2V higher. I don't want to argue semantics about charts and voltages, bottomline is the BMS shut it down at 12V, and since then the capacity has been diminished. That's the performance I'd expect of a lead acid battery, although going...

    Lalela battery disappointment

    All the charts I look at suggest that under 12.8 is already too low? https://cleversolarpower.com/lifepo4-voltage-chart/ https://www.jackery.com/blogs/knowledge/ultimate-guide-to-lifepo4-voltage-chart

    Lalela battery disappointment

    A couple months ago I got a Lalela 12V 50AH LIFEPO4. All was fine until a week or so back when I accidentally let it discharge to 12V - normally I recharge around 13V. However since dropping to 12V the battery has significantly reduced capacity. Same charging method, same inverter and load...

    [India] Why Yogi-led UP government has banned Halal-certified food products

    Yeah and who pays for those certificates? Everyone who purchases the product, including dirty infidels. What a crock of ****. Any group that wants additional product labelling should be taxed additionally and let that tax fund the certificate bribes/purchases.

    Do I still need to do a tax return?

    Normally each year around this time I login sarsefiling and tick the box to submit - everything's always in place already, and next day I get the refund due. Last night I got a refund but I haven't submitted anything for this year yet, so do I still need to or is it all automatically sorted now?

    El-Cheapo UPS Battery replacement: Can I use Lithium (LiPo)?

    Please recommend a 12V lithium battery for use in a UPS? (It's a small one, I think 600kva.) I bought a Uniross 7AH from takealot, it worked in that it provided almost an hour of up-time. But then later I thought the UPS was cooked because it had gone dead and there was that small of burn in...

    So are most units back online or are we merrily burning diesel?

    Wondering what level of idiocy/luck is in play at the moment to enable stage 1. if we're burning diesel that seems a really questionable decision, instead of alleviating early stages I'd think it better to save that for when we hit stage 5+
