Nice, I had missed that one, thanks!

CheapAzChips posted a forum topic Cheapest jump starter (that won't be dead in 12 months)
As per title - it's been a while since I've had to buy one, and back then the only option was SLA. Now with supercaps, lithium, AGM and…

Enclosures will generally be safer. Dust isn't much of an issue other than potentially clogging the SATA interface but you'll have the same…

Banto on Philips Essential SmartBright LED Downlight G2 (10 Watt, Warm White) $8.48 (Was $19.98) @ Mitre 10

My guess is you'd need at least IP54 for anywhere outdoors, but I'm no electrician.

About time! But still.... 7 days a week but still not 24 hours? Do they still have real people looking at every transaction? I understand…

CheapAzChips commented on 36% Discount on Road User Charges (RUC's, Trucks & Diesel cars) & $0.25/L + GST Petrol Tax Reduction @ NZ Transport Agency
The fuel discount (for all us non-businesses) is actually closer to 29cpl, because like all good excise taxes they add GST on top 🧐

Nope, but you can bet if they suddenly reduce saved balances by (~$0.30/~$2)*(balance purchased during discount period), -- what else could…

I've heard that you can just call them and tell them your battery is no longer performing the same as it was when you bought it and they…

😯 that's a fairly major oversight by Mitre 10. Wow.

Working again! Definitely wasn't for a while. Maybe I was toying with the only one left in stock.

Can only add one item to the basket now, so "second for half price" isn't much use!

Non-lithium charging is almost always safe (hydrogen gas emitted from a lead acid battery probably being the next most risky). But yeah,…
