Re: Leaking alkaline cells

Forgive me if I missed something but I have not been following this thread very closely. I'm not saying they were wrong, but weren't environmentalists behind the EPA forcing removal of mercury from

I think the only Varta batteries I've used are for my watch and I think I got them from [ https://thebatterysupplier.com/ | https://thebatterysupplier.com ] Barry - N4BUQ

Hi Adri Here are the measurements connected to the first 2 converters as a reference. For the second converter I get a voltage of -1.678V instead of -3.5V as written in the service manual, I would say

Re: HP 141T Power Supply Help Needed
Mike, Wouldn't it be ~27VAC across the winding (11 and 13)? Or ~13.5VAC at both 11 and 12 and 13 and 12?? For a center tapped full wave rectifier Vout = Vp (sec)/2 - diode drop.? Since the center

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
There are a sufficient number of alternatives to Duracells such that simply not buying them is the easiest path. As I wrote earlier, I was once a dedicated user of Duracells, but no longer. There are
