Those who regularly read my reviews know that I’ve already reviewed several electronic loads from Atorch. In each one, I’ve predicted (or suggested) what the next models might include. But less than six months later, the company has released a new model with the rather strange name CL24. In this preview, I’ll try to figure out what it’s all about.

Not long ago, I featured a new power module in several of my videos. You may also have seen the backstory behind it in a few other reviews. I can now say that the project has reached a kind of logical conclusion. Though, to me, a conclusion is really an opportunity to improve on what came before and start something new, perhaps even more interesting.

I recently posted a review of LG HE2 batteries, but as I mentioned then, someone sent me a couple more batteries to test. Many thanks to him for that, since battery reviews are very useful.

One of my readers contacted me asking me to investigate and possibly help determine whether the batteries he received from Nkon were genuine. In this case, they were LG ICR18650-HE2 2500mAh batteries.

I've been using thermal imaging cameras for a long time. My first one was a very basic model with a resolution of 60x60. I later replaced it with an HT-A2 with a resolution of 320x240, and today I'm reviewing a model with a resolution of 256x192. It might look like a downgrade, but is it really?

Almost a year after this model came out, I finally got my hands on one. It was inevitable—I enjoy tinkering with this kind of thing. There are already tons of reviews of this model, so I decided to look at it as a measuring instrument and, more simply, check its measurement accuracy.

An interesting little device has landed in my hands: a clamp meter with 1 mA resolution and Bluetooth connectivity. As usual, I’ll take a look, run some tests, take it apart, and share my conclusions.

I needed a power supply for one of my new projects (among other things), so I decided to order a few different models to try out and test. Today, I’m reviewing the first one. A look inside, tests, and conclusions.

As luck would have it, I got my hands on one of the new batteries from Molicel. It’s a very interesting cell, primarily because it combines relatively high capacity with a high rated discharge current. Inspection, tests, comparisons, conclusions—the usual.

I’m often asked about batteries, building battery packs, and where to buy cells without ending up with junk. Today I have a short article and video on the subject.

About a month and a half ago, I reviewed an inexpensive power bank case that was convenient, affordable, capable of delivering up to 22 W, and supported fast-charging protocols. But ever since then, I’ve wanted not only to fit it with the highest-capacity batteries possible, but also to make a few improvements.

A small addendum to my review of the Vapcell N40 batteries in the 18650 size, with a capacity of 4000 mAh. Since these batteries are quite unusual, I decided to test their self-discharge, and today I can share some results.

This is somewhat of a promotional post, but in my opinion, if a manufacturer sells a product with honest specs, I don't see anything wrong with showcasing it. Especially since quite a few people bought these batteries after my previous reviews, and I don't recall anyone complaining about them. Plus, there's a sale on right now, with coupons and so on.

Some time ago, I announced a new product from RuiDeng: an enclosure with a power supply. The kit I ordered has finally arrived, and that’s what I want to tell you about today.

Last time I showed the lead-acid battery that “couldn’t cut it.” I said there would be a second part, so today I’ll tell you what I ended up having to do to get something that works.

Today’s review will be relatively short, but it serves as background for another review. Still, I’d also like to tell you a little about one of America’s oldest companies. I hope you’ll find it interesting.

I got a new mouse pad today, and I liked it enough to put together a quick little review in case it might be useful to someone.

Recently, one of my regular readers gave me a rather interesting converter, and I’m very grateful to him for it. Naturally, I decided to review it.
