    Factoring in self discharge rate of lead acid and it'll be far less https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-discharge . IIRC older batteries don't fare as well and I don't think they like being in a discharged state either.

    Wakey wakey Greybeard -there's more---lol
    As per Bill, it's been gnawing at me-- I don't have a Ctek , my charger is a small Arlec trickle charger--so.
    Connected it to the battery with the mains unplugged with a digital multimeter in the circuit set to measure Amps.
    Every few seconds there was a flick to 1.2A- very short but a flick. So being the inquisitive little prick that i am I c...

    Well done Dave. When i saw your pist come up i feared it was to say it had failed already ! :)

    Jeremy, yes it's an MG4
    I know that the Xpower version (4 wheel drive, twin motor) uses a differential but didn't think the standard version did. Maybe AI is compounding the information. Certainly on the MG4 forum people just say it's direct drive, no gears of any sort though that doesn't make sense to me regarding a physical need for the wheels to rotate by different amounts when cornering <...

  • anamnesis11 April 2026

    I've been a bit remiss with my gardening for a few reasons for the last 6 or so months.

    There is consequential overgrowth, and weed invasion.

    As a result, I can spend an inordinate amount of time attempting to remove the weeds, or be brutal.

    Some of my desirable foliage is so inundated by weeds that, it will have to be chucked out like a baby with the dirty bath water. <...

    No direct ev specific experience or knowledge here.

    But I suspect it requires power to RELEASE the brake rather than engage it. Fail safe.

    Mechanical clamp, but electrically powered and electronically controlled release.

    I have no connection to this firm, but to any owners in the Chicago, Southern Wisconsin area, these guys are excellent. In business since 1952. I brought them a starter on Wednesday afternoon, they called me Friday morning! New bushing, checked the shaft runout, turned the armature, replaced the brushes. The motor runs like new and all in less than 48 hrs! The company is MG auto electric. (No conn...
