Thanks Jud 👍

I know you weren't. I just added that for completeness.

Yes, you can run the powerbank flat. If your phone is on, it will consume power. If it's connected to a powerbank, it'll continue to draw power from the bank, until the bank is flat.

Even if the phone is off, it gradually runs down. So if it's connected to a bank, eventually, it would run the bank flat.

Well, I'm trying to send you a thumbs-up gizmo but don't seem to have the technical know-how to do it. Please consider yourself having received a thumbs-up.

Umm ?
I wasnt thinking of charging it from the phone. It's as a back up power source to add power to the phone when its battery has run low. But can one extract all of the power from it, or does it stop transferring when the power level in both devices becomes the same?

Hello Bjlp,

Yes basically set it up the same as your TD. If you can, always try and get 100% ethanol free fuel - better for all the fuel components but the XPAG engine itself is very tolerant of garbage gasoline that is available these days - it just burns hotter so aim off for that a bit.

As to the hinges - they were only used on the MG Y although apparently they are similar to...

I use them. Very good too. But like your phone battery, it'll eventually be knackered.

If you use your phone while connected to a power bank, eventually the bank will empty. But the phone won't reverse charge the bank, because a protective circuit protects against that.

Following Jacob Rees-Mogg's theme,

At Starmer's fleeting Streeting meeting
There was barely time for greeting
And no time at all for eating
Before Streeting was retreating.

Now they carry on breast beating
Desperately entreating
And clumsily illaqueating.

But it all looks self-defeating
Because the ones they're obsoleting
Need a proper beating
And that'...

Cool Idea Bjlp if you can make up a capture for the front nuts. I just put a spanner on them and as soon as they are loose put my finger on the nut instead of the spanner and slide it out with the nut, but whatever works for you.

Like anything else that is nearly 80 years old, stuff wears out. I have only refurbished my Jackall pumps once and I would start there. It does give you the o...

Anyone used them?
Powerbanks. For recharging your phone or whatever when away from a mains supply.

Typically they seem to be rated at 10,000 or 20,000 mAh capacity. Being dimmer than a Spridget headlight with a poor earth can someone explain. Will it potentially transfer all of that power to the phone when plugged in. Or does the transfer stop when both devices reach the same level as...

I don’t bother with music, it’s purely used for navigation. If I don’t have a navigator with me, it helps me get to where I’m going 😀
