    Spooked by recent recalls - Are these battery charging cabinets worth the investment?

    Ask them for their UL Certificate # https://www.ul.com/cere-search-certificates Just understand that a UL certificate is a safety standard, not a quality standard... and they don't necessarily walk hand in hand. I've seen lots of poor quality electrical fixture, devices with a UL label. In this...

    Odd mapping omission in Specialized app [SOLVED]

    Have you tried increasing tap duration? Additionally repeated touches edit: I'll also add one thing that makes android much more user friendly to me is to use a third party launcher. I've been using Nova Launcher for over 10 years now and as far as I'm concerned it's way cleaner and...

    Is it possible to repair Reention battery power button (with LED lights)?

    Yes good light, some magnification when working and propping/clamping things up so you have a nice steady work area are all helpful. The higher the magnification also means you need to be closer to the work so sometimes more isn't better. I've found 3x to 4x adequate I have have a rework...

    Is it possible to repair Reention battery power button (with LED lights)?

    It's not a concern to save the old board.. So it can be destroyed in the process if it makes things easier. A hair dryer can soften the hot glue's bond. Just be patient and don't use so much heat that you deform the connector. Patience with this type of work is paramount.

    Hear hear.. can be especially helpful if you're not smarter than your smart phone. 🙃

    Is it possible to repair Reention battery power button (with LED lights)?

    I'm guessing the glue/silicone is applied after mating the connector. It's great for vibration. That said the bond isn't that tough on plastic and can typically be removed fairly easy. A plastic razor blade should work just fine.

    That sheds a little more light on your particular situation. You also need to consider other tenants in your situation so perhaps taking extra measures may be prudent. I say do whatever will give you peace of mind.

    Odd mapping omission in Specialized app [SOLVED]

    I have all my android devices set to turn off the screen with a double tap of the homescreen and it works flawlessly. Haven't had a butt dial or the phone navigate it's way through settings in a very long time. If using and returning to an app like navigation, I use your method.

    Odd mapping omission in Specialized app [SOLVED]

    I guess yet another reason to run right out and get that flagship Samsung.... but if it wasn't your nipple that turned off the GPS, I'd look into the handlebar vibration frequency. You owe NASA $4,687,254.78 for filing an erroneous report and testing. 🙃

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Warnings in these situations just don't work. No one has the right to harass or endanger others. It's not rampant in my area but I have witnessed juveniles speeding +35mph on MUPS and purposely cutting close to everyone they pass... mostly on scooters. Confiscating the offending vehicle has...

    Reention Dorado 48v 17.5AH - BMS Help needed

    The replacement BMS doesn't need to be an exact match as long as the specs are the same and it physically fits in the case. There's hardware out there that's only available to manufacturers so it may not be easy to track down. There are places that rebuild batteries... have you tried contacting...

    Spooked by recent recalls - Are these battery charging cabinets worth the investment?

    Quality hardware, understanding battery safety basics and common sense are key... but we also need to put things into perspective. Based on data from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and FEMA, the top 10 most common causes of house fires are: 1.Cooking: Unattended frying...

    Panda Express hates vegetarians!

    I'm sorry but I don't know why anyone would think that a privately owned business would be obligated to cater to them? Why should they prepare food for a minority that will cost them in labor, fuel and food that will mostly end up in the trash because there's just not enough clientele that order...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    What if they submerge it in water overnight and then give it back to you in the morning? 🙃

    Unhappy with Velotric Fold 1

    Well understand that 2/5 bars is a range of 20-40%.if you were closer to the 40% and you were not putting much physical effort in, it might not be that bad.

    Unhappy with Velotric Fold 1

    You shouldn't be skeptical as the wattage loss from the fully rated 13ah is to implement the safety cut off by the BMS at approximately 25% or +/-39V on a 48V system. This is crucial to keep the battery from damage. It is very common across most industries to not include the overhead necessary...

    Is it possible to repair Reention battery power button (with LED lights)?

    Well it'll pulls power from the battery/BMS... So that's the first plug to undo and the last one to connect. Otherwise... Just be patient and very careful not to short out anything, but especially the battery mains. This isn't specific to your situation... Just working on thing of this nature in...

    Spooked by recent recalls - Are these battery charging cabinets worth the investment?

    For me and maybe a bit ignorant but I can't get that paranoid about it. I have my charging setup to typically only reach 80% slowly with a 2a charger so I'm avoiding the overcharging/over heating danger... but that's done because that's all I need, not for fire prevention. I do have a smoke...

    Unhappy with Velotric Fold 1

    Yes perhaps in city driving stopping frequently it can begin to be a factor, but the OP is riding a rail_trail. Again I can only speak for myself but the bit of throttle I use to break free on a start is negligible as I immediately start pedaling. I can't begin to express the benefit to my...
