meicord opal damn it 100 euro for a cable that doesn't even have cat 7 written on it

batteries on pico and cpu are a good upgrade well worth 40 euro

im not saying two operating systems on one anker might be bad, it likely is an improvement, i just think suppling them separately would be a worthwhile test.

No time now but that is the intention Ken will try out his anker on my system to give the 2 x ankers for free test.

Ok like a woman I can change my mind at anytime for no reason at all.

Checked with europower and they have the yuasa batteries at €16+vat. They deliver for €8 next day.
At that price level I am going to go ahead and get them. They don't currently stop the lifepo4 except for larger applications.

That is it Nigel I don't care what your experiments turn up no more purchases for me this year!!
