    Bosch 400wh frame battery

    Im not sure but I think that there is a difference between the frame mounted battery and the rack mounted battery . I have the rack mounted one and it looks to me that there is a nose on the frame mounted . Also it would be logical to have a different orientation for the power LEDs

    TWO YEAR OLD GOOD BATTERY NOT IN USE.

    The important thing in a battery is how much energy it has stored. Lets assume your battery at 48v stores 10 amp hrs of energy. Then its total power output is 480 watt hrs of energy. . A single bar electric fire is typically 1000 watts , so even if you managed to drive all the energy into such...

    Actually I was being more flippant.. it would be is it a boy or a girl followed by is it my daughter or my son... And part of that is the skin colour being consistent with being my son\ daughter. These are the primal concerns, followed by is it healthy...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Would it not be more . That the local society, and particularly the mother who decides when one is born. Its asking a lot of the mewling infant to make that decision. As to what you are and were, a short investigation below the waistband, sorts it out for most.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Possibly the reason is that in the UK there are not many farmers... There are farms owned by conglomerates and consortia, run by managers and employing workers. There are not a lot of managers , who would know the value of the cap, and a lot of workers who are kept ignorant of these financial...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is of course some truth in it. But that presupposes that the current arrangements regarding almost everything remain in place. Trade negotiations are much too crude an instrument. We have many thousands of our people living on one side of the border and working on the other. We have...

    Thank you for standing up for us, but in this case unnecessary. Ireland does not have a veto on a trade deal. Assuming a trade deal is struck, qualified majority voting will be the way a deal is ratified. It is only if there is no deal and the UK seeks to extend the negotiating window that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think it would inside the EU ... 60% of our trade is with the mainland EU and 40% with the UK. US firms use Ireland as a gateway into Europe, the fact that we speak in a language they understand don't hurt either . Its a benefit NI has lost out on, but should really be in a position to benefit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My point, such as it is, was to imply that there is currently so much cooperation at present, in a European context, between booth sides of the island, and with the two economies so linked, that the forced separation will be very costly, divisive and put all manner of strains on relationships...

    Virtually all of what Mr Dodds is saying I agree with particularly the passage where he says it's "economic madness to cut yourself off from your major market"... The irish central bank did peg the irish pound or punt as we called it at 100% of the sterling level for probably 60 years and...

    I would see James Connolly as the true hero of the Irish rising. Many of the other leaders were starry eyed. Idealists with notions of blood sacrifice redeeming the manhood of Ireland ... And other such guff. James Connolly was clear thinking, had life experience, was not in favour of the...

    Interesting developments here. At no time or stage did I state or imply that animals did not feel pain. At no stage did I recommend cruelty. My posting was in response to one by Zathlan where he was implying that medical research was not being done in his name. Let me assert that I do approve...

    Your last paragraph could just as easily have started with Humans treat Humans as well as other animals deplorably... It is uniformed when one attributes the full range of human attributes to other animals. It is uninformed when this affection is selectively centred on particularly nice furry...
