So, it's finally come to this... I am the fourth owner of my 1998 native NiMH S10E. I hate to admit it, but I just don't think that I'm going to have the time to work with it any more, and so I am reluctantly offering it for sale. When I identified a bad cell in the pack in Au...

Neil is correct, in my experience circuit breaker manufacturers typically only guarantee the breaker to operate once in a circuit overload scenario beyond that they can argue their way out of liability if there is sufficient evidence that the breaker was reset by the user. Rya...

Hi, Rick-- Not specifically. Your clue is that the compressor isn't running when it is supposed to be. Could be a lot of things, but the APCMs have a high failure rate. This is due to a mistake in the assembly process design that would have been corrected in Version 2, if ther...
