    Organising salvaged cells in a DIY battery

    How do you know ? Your voltmeter presumably reads 36v as the sum of the 10 tiers of cells. That does not mean that there is 3.6 volt per tier. It means an average of 3.6 .. there is a huge difference. If for instance due to capacity limitations one tier got stuck at 3.8 volts then on charging...

    RECLAIM YOUR NAME

    I go along with the tosh arguement. Soon after your birth a responsible person signed a legal document claiming that you were born, who your mother was ,and where the event took place. And your gender. If your parents were married there would be a presumption that her husband would be the...
