Ive used this configuration but noticed it could be a problem for battery longevity for it to be in contact with underside hot spots, which rear positioned or otherwise confined batteries can avoid. Also as a battery pack gets bigger, it ca

You argument with me was that I don't adequately read sources and that I made an untrue statement, which was in fact not untrue, and was merely open to adjustment - which all summaries are. My argument with you, was that you linked cri

Much of the discussion in this thread is worryingly callous and dismissive. This is a first person account of an activist starving themselves to death in the service of a selfless and unviolent cause.

Thanks, from reading your comment, I can see that I was a bit loose with the term 'charging voltage' - I was focusing on the internal electrical potential of the cap or battery(stabilised), but 'charging voltage' should

ok I see it, but this statement is just fundamentally wrong here: >capacitor can be charged at any voltage as long as you cut off the supply when the voltage across the capacitor reaches a certain threshold The cap in your circuit is n

I understand your conviction but sorry you will want to revise your outlook on this. Last attempt to explain - suppose you can charge a cap with a high voltage source, but stop charging when it reaches a lower voltage. The cap itself is nev

I cant figure out the best way to explain this, but the power - voltage - current relationship is not being grokked well in this thread. Mismatched voltages between sources and components in circuits generally lead to pyrotechnics, never ma

Sorry the high voltage USB idea is no good: although 1.8A * 50V equals 18A * 5V in terms of power, 50V is no use to a 5V battery. You cant deliver power to a battery at a voltage higher than its charging voltage or it will burn. A 90W tran

The only difference between const and let is it flags an error on reassignment (in strict mode), so that is its primary purpose. It can also be used to conspicuously note intent not to reassign but it is not helpful to VMs or programmers
