Tough Leads - EV Granny Charger RCD Extension Cable
If you have an EV but no driveway, home charging is a challenge. These extension cables from Tough Leads are designed to be high quality, reliable, rugged and waterproof which is what you need if you're running a mains charger out to your car.

02:28 - 10m Cable Unboxing
07:41 - 25m RCD Cable Unboxing
I bought these because I just don't trust cables from a random manufacturer. I'd read about this company on a number of forums so I thought I'd give them a try. This video is just showing you exactly what the cables they sell are made from. Hopefully you'll be able to decide whether they look suitable for what you need rather than relying purely on a website photo.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching.

    300 charge cycles is about typical for most rechargeable batteries. Li-Ion do a bit better (I have a Mophie that is now about 8 years old and holds about 80% of it's original capacity, but I don't know how many times I've recharged it though, and it spend about 6 months unused). The only reason I now have to get rid of it is is the battery is starting to swell (no longer sits flat) otherwise I'd keep it, but it's kind of dangerous to use with a swelling battery obviously. Paid about $150 for that one (it was a 20,000 Mah charger with 3 USB-A ports -- no USB-C) but still think I got my money's worth out of it. Hopefully these Anker batteries will do the same. But 300 charge cycle is about normal. If you charge it say twice per week from fully dead, I mean that's still about 3 years of use (104 charge cycles per year). That's probably pretty aggressive usage IMO, and most people might only recharge it once a week if that, unless they're using it to contasntly charge multiple devices each day or week, and running it down, but even at 100 charge cycles per year, it's not too bad, and probably is still better value than a cheap one that lasts only 6 months and then starts to have charging issues. My experience is that for most people, 300 charge cycles on anything will be more than you think, unless you routinely run down your battery every 2-3 days, which some people might, but most people won't, and that those numbers are probably worst case. You may get 350 or 400 charge cycles out of it. The other key is how you charge it. If you charge it when it's 80% full, you're wasting charge cycles in some cases, but if you also run it down to 0% then you're also going to put more strain on it and it may only get 300 charge cycles, but if you do what most people recommend with Li-Ion and recharge when the capacity is between 20-60% then you should get the maximum life out of it that you can, whether that's only 300 cycles or more (probably more). I've seen that some of these power banks and charge themselves while powering something else and while you can still do that, that may also decrease the recharge cycle too, so I would not advise doing that if you want the maximum number of charge cycles. It likely doesn't have a huge impact on overall charge cycles, but not something I would do regularly myself. I would probably just do what I mentioned and let it run down to 20-60% before recharging. Obviously running it down below 20% on occasions likely isn't going to harm much either, but routinely doing that will decrease the life of the battery overall. But even my Samsung Galaxy S10 has managed to survive 5 years of me letting it run down to 20% or less and powering off, and it still holds a decent charge (enough for 1 day at least) now 5 years later, and that's the original battery it had when it was new (5 years ago).

Questions, since i may be purchasing one myself : 1. did you experience problems after years of use (building quality, durability) . 2. does the use of the usb input require driver installation on my PC, or is it plug & play via Windows (wasapi ?).

    @etchedpixels 5 днів тому

    There are several things I don't think are not mentioned here that are important and downsides 1. It's tied to a management server in China, all automation goes via it so if they go away or geopolitical stuff happens - poof you mostly own a brick 2. The moment you want more than maybe 2KWh it's incredibly expensive compared to proper wired in solutions (and except in a small flat you will want more than 2KWh once you dabble ;)) so it's actually not a good beginning as you can't upgrade it to the size you'll want 3. The 12v output of the units is only a bit over 100W. That prevents you using a lot of the camping/caravan style efficient 12v kit to save power 4. The automation is very limited unless you install 3rd party tools (which still all depend on China) 5. The range on the powerstream wifi is dire, and the smartplugs likewise. Fine for the intended small Chinese/European apartment but not good anywhere else 6. Their support is now terribly slow, and returns even slower (big issue as their QA is also iffy - just check how often they have refurb units for sale). The EPS mode with solar they added in firmware is excellent though if your use case is emergency backup and you want to also get the benefit from solar, as is the ability now to stack solar on the battery and the powerstream. Never buy their kit except on a special special offer with coupons and all the rest. If you missed the sale just wait a couple of weeks and there will be another one.

I also researched as I want to use it for off grid in my camper. Whilst my camper is off grid with 12v and gas I prefer elec kettle and hob plus blowing up paddle boards and charging 101 devices. Super impressed with it so far and it was competitively priced from Costco. Can’t wait on get more use out of it during the summer. For me there is no direct competitor in that price bracket at the moment.
