Lithium batteries, not worth it

The point of camping is to get away from civilisation. I never take a phone. Or a stove for that matter. Bring cold food, no cooking equipment to carry!

I have two, the size of a mobile phone. I bought one, it claimed 20,000mAh. I tested it and of course it wasn't. Seller lied and said "must be faulty, we will send another". I accepted two for the price of one. One will in fact start a car, and two will start a lorry.

The cranking current on a small lorry is likely to be lower than that on a car. 24V. Bill

How absurd. I ran out of petrol and one simply came out with 5 litres in a can, I gave him some cash and that was it.

I wonder why they call them sixpacks when most folk have eight? Only short folk have 6.

Or under pressure.

Then you have the worst of both worlds.

And a damn good weapon at your disposal.

It would be fine if they got the charge time down to say 10 minutes. You can charge batteries in 10 minutes, I used to charge NiCad radio controlled packs in 10 minutes. As long as you don't overfill them, they're fine. Cars have cooling on the batteries don't they?

I have never let one in, I have never voted for one, I wouldn't stop to let them cross the road. A few stupid anti-racist Brits let them in, now there's enough to let themselves in. There's one in charge of Scotland too now. We're f***ed.

Why do you bother replying without answering properly?

Actually it's 3 points per offence, but they have to see you before you see them.

The last time I went round the M25 I followed a Tesla. I don't know if it was a very skillfull driver or he had it on self drive, but he kept swapping lanes and actually gained a hell of a distance. We were getting there 2-3 times quicker than everyone else.

On most motorways there's a very good empty overtaking lane, it's officially called a hard shoulder.

You don't need more, they just grow faster.

Loads of that about.

This just shows you can prove anything you want, cut all the bullshit you're reading from Greenpeace Treehuggers and think more logically.

Is there a world shortage of these things?

Who gives a f*ck?

Don't need to, they grow faster just by giving them more. Just as you can run faster on higher concentrations of O2.

It is most certainly not reasonably priced. They cost about the same!

No car is reasonably priced anymore. There used to be Dacia Sanderos for £6K. Now the cheapest is a £12.5K Lada. WTF? Double price?

You're confusing petrol and battery cars. One regenerates, one doesn't.

Skoda uses parts which failed the test for VW quality.

I went to a builders merchant the other week. The car park was full, but there was a car parked exactly between the two end spaces. So I parked exactly in front of them. They were f****ng furious when I left.

I've had a few makes, these are how reliable they were:

Rover: medium Ford (3 of): high Vauxhall (GM/Opel): low Renault (4 of): low Fiat: abysmal Range Rover: medium Peugeot (2 of): high VW: high

So why do I keep buying Renaults? Well the last one was £500 for a car which had only done 47K miles. Although in 5 years I've done 50K miles and spent £2500 keeping it running.
