Battery woes.

I focused on finding a compact and light battery. I bought into the Nocqua 12v battery. That “purchase regret” thread reminded me of this. Haha. It’s not great, it’s barely good.

It’s a lithium ion battery. It’s four months old and dying a slow death. It’s max charge is 11.99 v. At its peak, I dint think I saw better than 12.11V. My appliance has a voltage meter, and I watch it tick down pretty quickly. Unscientific; it loses 0.1V every 40 minutes. I’m running my appliance dimmed down to save juice. I’d estimate 0.75a per hour?

I wish I could measure power consumption. I dint know how with my Craftman multimeter.

Nocqua put a replacement battery in the mail for me. Despite them saying it’s within design parameters. 11.7 -12.6 V! That’s a wide parameter! No?

Customer service is great tho. I gotta admit.
