REVIEW: USB C – AA and AAA Lithium ion Rechargeable Batteries

I been wanting Lithium ion Rechargeable Battery in AA and AAA size ( https://amzn.to/2VsisrX ) that can be recharged by USB cable. I finally got a set of AA and AAA for fun. This is a good idea for traveling light or to avoid bringing a large charger with you on vacation trip.

Lithium ion Rechargeable Battery in AA and AAA size ( https://amzn.to/2VsisrX ) takes about 1 hour to charge from USB C cable. The out put is 1.5 volts. The capacity is rated in mWh rather than mAh, that beening said when caluculating the conversion. the AA battery has a capacity of 1733 mAh and the AA has a capacity of 367 mAh. Much less than my Nimh batteries.

Overall it works and is portable enough to carry the charge cable and spare batteries on a trip or if you ran out of power and needed to charge via usb this would be very convenient, even with less capacity than my 2000 mAh NimH batteries.

REVIEW: KATCHY Indoor Insect Trap – 6 MONTHS LATER…

For the past 6 months we used the Katchy Indoor Insect Trap ( https://amzn.to/3BSMswu ) to capture mosquitos and gnats in the house.
Fruit flys, gnats, and mosquitos are attracted to fruit in the kitchen or come via the open window due to the heat.

This video is a 6 month review of the Katchy Indoor Insect Trap ( https://amzn.to/3BSMswu ). It works by attracting flying insects with the UV light and sucking them into a funnel to an adhesive bait pad. We leave the unit on continuously, however it works better at night when the only light is the UV lamp.

After 6 months the fan is starting to make noise however the UV lamp still works. The stylish design looks modern. It is powered by USB A plug which can be connected to your computer or a USB hub. This makes it convenient for users who want to run it with a power bank for camping or just plugged into their computer on their desk.

Overall e Katchy Indoor Insect Trap ( https://amzn.to/3BSMswu ) works and is portable enough to place it in the kitchen or the inside a tent at night.

HOW TO: REPAIR Broken Umbrella Legs Using EPOXY!

Repairing is fun and helps keep useful stuff out of landfills. In this video i repair an REI super light travel umbrella. I troubleshoot and found out which part was broken and repair it with Devon 5 minute EPOXY waterproof glue ( https://amzn.to/3tbVTnU ). If the plastic or fiberglass parts were to break, I use J-B Weld steel reinforced epoxy ( https://amzn.to/2WuDmau ) to fix broken parts

Devon 5 minute epoxy ( https://amzn.to/3tbVTnU ) is very versatile, waterproof, and is more of an adhesive glue to bond plastics, metal, wood, and fiberglass. Since the umbrella legs component original connection to the struts and rods broke, it needed to be glued back together. Super glue or hot glue would not be strong enough compared to 1500 PSI epoxy glue. It has a working time of 5 minutes and cures completely in one hour.

If one of the plastic component broke I would have used JB weld steel reinforced epoxy to reform major cracked parts as it can be formed.

Using Epoxy in general whether it be Devon 5 minute epoxy ( https://amzn.to/3tbVTnU ) or J-B Weld ( https://amzn.to/2WuDmau ) is very easy:

  1. Just degrease all the parts with soap and water or denatured alcohol. 2. Use some disposable pieces of card board as a mixing surface, mixing stick, and a flat edged for clean up or leveling.
  2. Put equal parts of the Epoxy Resin and Hardener.
  3. Mix both parts until uniform.
  4. Apply to surface and clean up any run offs.
  5. Use the clean flat piece to give it a final level.
  6. Clean up and wash hands.
  7. Let cure for the time specified by the epoxy.

Overall, Devon 5 minute epoxy ( https://amzn.to/3tbVTnU ) is very useful for many house hold and as water proof glue. I have it in my garage and tool box and go through a 8.5 oz bottles in about a year if i have a lot of repairs. You want to keep the hardener and resin capped and in a cool storage to avoid drying out.
