    plastic wrap does not help, it retains humidity and accelerates corrosion. You need dry air insulation and space for any water that seeps into the case to collect and disperse/drain. That's why a good battery case is difficult to design. The Bosch batteries are excellent on this respect. A good...

    if you have 5 minutes spare, read John Crace's summary of last night C4 debate. He is very funny. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jul/15/the-tory-leadership-debate-desperate-as-a-sales-pitch-worse-as-entertainment ‘I’ve delivered the impossible,’ said Truss, blinking rapidly and...

    a bag battery may work in your context (fair weather riding, little mileage) but in general, bag batteries are not lockable. You have to keep an eye on the bike all the time. Also, bag batteries are not protected against humidity. Water is the main issue for cells and electronics.

    your triangle is too small for your solution. Cut a piece of cardboard, 36cm L x 10cm H to see if it fits inside the triangle. That's the space needed for a typical 36V or 48V downtube battery. The ETM version is a name given to the BBS to denote that it has 25A maximum current. For that, you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Starmer will probably borrow just as much albeit for different reasons. The thing that bothers me is every time a politician claims that they borrow for reason X, whatever X is, growth, green tech, social housing, covid, health care, care for the elderly etc, someone should shout at them like...

    Bbc news: tugendhat came first, then sunak. Truss came last. I watched it. The audience wasn't particularly impressed with any one. Nobody trusts politicians. 10 put their hands up at the end when asked are you more likely to vote Conservative again.

    it's because they own Truss and not yet Mordaunt. They did the same with the Royals until they own them.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The right wingers voted for Braverman (27), Badenoch (49) and Truss (64). They will need to get Truss 56 more votes to beat Mordaunt. I reckon Sunak's camp would rather face Mordaunt than Truss to avoid having the Mail on their back. So the logic is to lend some of their votes to Kemi Badenoch...

    I doubt she (Truss) will do well in the TV debates tonight (Ch4) and over the weekend (ITV). She has an unattractive voice, is slow in comprehension and not good with spontaneous quips. The TV shows will confirm what we already know, Sunak will come through top, followed by Mordaunt and Badenoch.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we should mend the fences with our neighbours, the EU. Mordaunt is being attacked for being too soft on the EU. She said during the Hunt vs Johnson race that BJ was/is unfit for the PM job. He chucked her out of the MOD as soon as he was PM.

    as expected, Suella Braverman is now out of the race. Tugendhat will probably be out in round 3, most of his supporters would go to Sunak's camp. Kemi Badenoch will be out in round 4, most of her supporters will go to Truss or Mordaunt. One of them will face Sunak in the members vote. Both Truss...

    I still think the country is better off with Mordaunt than with Truss or Sunak.
