Evening all!
I want to make myself a charger unit for iPhone / iPad? I'm thinking a 22ah battery, charge level indicator, and usb sockets on the output?
Does anyone have any experience, advice, or recommendations, that they think may be of use please?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
Recently purchased something called a Paceman Pro Bowling machine.
The manufacturers have not yet come up with their own portable power pack.

Hi,
I am looking for guidance on the requirement to do portable appliance testing in the USA, in particular the type of equipment you would find in a construction hire shop. Any links to guidance notes and so on would be appreciated.

Are the cheap and cheerful eBay jobbies any good or do I need to splash the cash. It's not something I would use on a regular basis but would be useful to have on the van just in case. What should I look for? How much should I pay? Occasional soldering duties and heat shrinking

Just had a meeting today with Peter Lee Williams, NICEIC assessor for my promotion to QS.
amongst other things he said that one of the limitations for eicr's should be that portable appliances have not been tested.
just wondering what everyone's thoughts are. I thought it was unnecessary.
