    IPA removes/dissolves most flux and doesn't harm the plastic. Cellulose paint thinner thoroughly removes flux faster than IPA but will melt certain kink of soft plastic. Acetone removes flux at thinner strength level and will melt plastic if it's left too long. It's cheaper than IPA and thinner if you want to dip the whole mobo. Of all three, Acetone tends to leave some marks. Flux in low frequency applications is harmless but in high frequency, it's lethal.

  • @emmettturner9452
    @emmettturner9452 2 года назад

    I guess they didn’t offer the molded NEMA 14-XX plug back then. That’s the one that’s missing the neutral so you can use it with a 14-30, 14-50, or 14-60 outlet without changing the plug. You can buy a universal plug from most hardware stores with multiple neutral blades that can be swapped or repositioned to fit 14-30, 14-50, and 14-60… but that kind won’t be sealed against liquids or spiders and such. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the OpenEVSE does not even use neutral so you might as well leave that prong out. Anyway, my criticisms would’ve included price since you could literally buy multiple pre-built EVSEs for that. Heck, you can buy one for the cost of the J1772 Type 1 Plug/Cord alone… with the exact same Dostar plug! Maybe they should’ve designed OpenEVSE to fit one of those enclosures for a quick board-swap. ;) Another criticism is that they sell the J1772 plug with and without the cable but they do not sell the cable without the plug. Just what are you supposed to do with the plug?! They act like you don’t have to buy their assembled cable because they provide assembly instructions for crimping and assembling the plug. Their guide even has separate links for the plug and cable but the plug link is broken and the cable links incorrectly links to the plug. Of course, they also neglect to give you enough info in the guide to look it up the cable yourself. I ended up getting a used plug and cable for $50 to use with a $30 ClipperCreek control board and $20 enclosure since it was about the only way to stay under the $180-$200 price for the cheapest portable Level 2 EVSEs. Even then, I’m pushing the same price as a used AmazingE unit with the exact same control board, especially after including cable glands and wall plugs and such. I want to support OpenEVSE but it seems more expensive than a pre-built unit. Perhaps someone will add cool functionality, like mobile notifications when your car is done charging or triggering your car’s alarm when unplugged like the Volt portable EVSE can do (not sure how that works).

  • @Kobe29261

    Apart from saving the materials from the landfills the 7526 had a 'random' foil pattern that works excellent for my facial hair; actually have the newer Series 7 with the hexagonal/honeycomb modular pattern and it grabs and pulls. Dug out this old one to find out why it worked so well and I suspect its because the foil is both recessed plus close up inspection of the foils will reveal it has random* perforations

      A couple of things to check, make sure you have the batteries the right way around, if you're looking at the shaver with the connector at the bottom, the left battery is positive on the top, and right battery is negative on the top (obviously different than the bottom). Second, make sure there isn't a short between the connector at the bottom and the bottom of the battery, if there is put a little tape between the two. Lastly, on the top battery, make sure you haven't blobbed the solder, it's easy to short out one of the contacts to another that it shouldn't connect to.
