    If you completely disconnect the battery once the generator is running, and attach multimeter leads to the positive and negative cables coming from the generator, you'll know how much if any voltage is being sent to the battery to charge it. Probably good to know either way.

    Review: UCO Mini Candle Lantern ('tea candles')

    Thanks, Kestrel! I run mine this morning in honor of your thread. Red one here, lol. One of the things I like most is being able to move about with it without worry of extinguishing it. We're expecting heavy snow here today, I hope it's not needed and just ambiance. The brass one in your initial...

    I got mine from Amazon, which allows for returns if there are issues. Not sure what brand in particular you're looking for, but there are a bunch that adapt to the Ryobi tools. I have a DeWalt-to-Ryobi adapter and it works just fine. You are NOT supposed to use the adapter to charge a different...

    Poppy- Ryobi makes similar for bothb18v and 40v batteries. Price prohibitive in my opinion, you're getting into 2000 watt inverter gas generator cost. May work for some folks though. I purchased a 100ah Lithium Poly trolling motor battery over the summer, and have a couple smaller inverters I...

    Poppy- I'm debating a 9ah, just for the continuous runtime aspect. It completely throws off tool balance, etc. but as a prep, it might be nice. Devil's advocate says it's expensive per aH, however.. 4's and 6's are the sweet spot.

    R.I.P. Gaston Glock.

    Last I checked, there are no "mods" here at CPF anymore. Those days are over. Your lone staff member/owner/chief cook and bottle washer is Mr.Ed.

    RIP Gaston Glock

    RIP. He revolutionized the handgun market, polymer framed striker fired pistols were the way forward. If you're inclined, google "Glock torture test" or punch the same into the Youtube search bar. I hope the company doesn't stray from their founding designs.

    I understand the frustration with the price of Honda's offerings. I own two, an eu2000i and a 7000i. The 2000 is 20 years old, has aboit 1500 hours on it, starts on the 3rd or 4th pull, and has needed nothing but routine maintenance. I can walk into any Honda generator dealer nationwide and...

    Happy national flashlight night!

    Surefire M6 X-LOLA to walk the dog last night at 10pm to honor the Solstice with some old school photons. 👍😁 One of the best implementations of M6, thanks and credit to member JS for championing it back in the day...
