haylie asked: I have always heard one or the other – when you get a new electronic, you can either plug it in (usually they half about 1/2 battery power) immediately and wait until it’s charged to use it, or you use it until it’s completely dead before charging it for the first time. Which one is best for a longer battery life? Or does it really matter?
Currently, my concern is on the new ipod touch

Incongruous asked:
I have a strange electrical problem. Our kitchen light went out, and after several weeks, suddenly came back on. It remained functional for several weeks, then went back out again. During this time it would intermittently go out for several minutes, and come back on. Both of the bulbs were very dark so we replaced them, to no avail. Everyone we spoke to advised us to buy a new fixture, as the ballast would be more expensive to replace. Oddly enough, I ordered a new, electronic ballast from the manufacturer (Sunpark Electronics) for $6.50. The fixture sells at Home Depot for $85. Can anyone tell me if they think a new ballast will resolve the problem? I’m also curious to know why the electricians diy’ers were so certain the ballast would cost more than a new fixture. Admittedly, I haven’t tested anything as I am respectful of something I know very little about, and quite frankly…it scares me! Thanks in advance.

gambitleblanc asked:
I just bought a power inverter so I can plug electronic devices like my laptop and ipod and I’m wondering how long can I use these devices without the engine being started, until the battery is completely drain. I don’t want to be stranded in a parking lot. I have a 2007 Sentra so the battery capacity isn’t that big. The power inverter says it will shut itself off when the battery is close to empty but I would like to know an exact number. Thanks
