      I used their budget $20 one on a tyre in my focus sport for probably ~6000kms with no hassle, and have since sold the car, but for a twenty it saved me the cost for new tyres.

        Please note that this is a temporary repair and the tyre still has to be removed and inspected on the inside for damage. A patch has to be vulcanised to the inside. Only then would I be happy to do 100kpm plus.

          I've used dog turd repairs for years without issue.

          Did hundreds (possibly thousands) as our standard free repair for our regular customers before the government made that a naughty thing.

          Common sense applies as to the position of the puncture and what caused it.

        Can confirm this sorcery has lasted the life of a tyre.

        You might also try tyre repair screws, as it has less impact on wheel balance and easier to put on.

      It's pretty much the same thing. A battery charger will always keep the battery it is connected to, charged. IE - It will trickle charge it as required.

        If a battery charger is not capable of auto trickle charging, it will overcharge a battery, boiling off all electrolyte and cooking it (eventually….not overnight)

        • dingaling2 on 23/11/2023 - 17:43

          Id be surprised if any battery charger on the market doesnt know when to switch to float. Would be a quick demise of the company responsible.

            @dingaling2: Don't change your career to marketing advice.

            I did a quick google to see if the world has changed since I last looked at it. I suggest you try "Can i leave my (lead acid/ car/ battery) charger on all the time"

            You'll find that there have been and still are many companies in the world that make battery chargers that don't automatically switch off, or switch to a trickle charge.

            I'm not really worried about setting you straight or trying to puff out my ego, but it'd be a bit rough if innocents cooked their batteries because of bad advice.

              @rooster7777: Could you show me a battery charger on the market now that does not have float/maintenance mode? Pretty sure they would be banned for safety reasons… I'd be very surprised if you could get any lead acid charger that only does bulk/absorption and that's it… A faulty one maybe. But i am open to bieng proven wrong, i just find it hard to believe….

                There are a significant number of "non smart" chargers currently in the market, and a lot more in domestic households. To compound your error of what is currently in the market, you overlook the strikingly obvious that many chargers not made in the last few years are still out there.

                A quick look at your ozbargain posting history indicates your posts above aren't an abberation, with statements including:

                "Can get away with a regular 12V car battery charger used for lead acids as the voltages line up enough for lifepo4". (nonsense)

                Even you directly contradicted the above in another of your posts:

                "Spoken like someone that really doesn't know anything about Victron stuff. If your using lifep04 cells for example you'll want to alter the parameters to charge the cells to a lower voltage and perhaps adjust the amount of time balancing will happen etc. You might want to add a battery temp sensor and prevent changing below 5c to prevent damage to lifepo4"

                "LifePO4 are super safe. These are not the lithium batteries you hear about blowing up" (is again nonsense… safer than lithium ion batteries, but far more dangerous than, for example, directly shorting a lead acid battery. Making this statement where it can be read by novices is stupidly irresponsible)

                PS…. I don't believe that a person can be electrocuted by holding a bar heater in the bath, but "I'm open to being proved wrong.. I just find it hard to believer".
                Please try it, and report back (if possible).

                  @rooster7777: Here we go. Youve gone all out ad hominem on me.

                  Ok well first of all. All you've done is change your argument to Manual battery chargers and Jump starters with your list for me to google. If you had said that from the start, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. I asked you to link me a normal battery charger on the market right now that does not have float/maintenance mode.

                  Onto the LFP attacks, you know LFP/LiFePO4 cells are specified to charge up to 3.65V per cell. 4x cells in series = 14.6V hence why you can get away with regular 12V car battery chargers. The BMS will protect the cells from overcharge/discharge and balance. Go on argue this point i am ready.

                  2nd LFP attack. Yeah, you will get more years of service from an LFP battery if you don't charge to the full 3.65V per cell. 3.45V is near to 100% charge, and a lot less stress to eek out that 1-2% of charge at 3.65V. So, if your off grid solar you would tweak those settings. It's the difference from 2000 cycles to 3000 cycles for example. I'm off grid, my LFP batteries are from 2014 I have the original purchase receipt still, I also can tell you how much degradation I have over 9 years. I have real world data that is similar to others that have taken a less aggressive charging profile. It's no different to Tesla owners charging to 80% to get more longevity out of there batteries.

                  3rd LFP batteries are super safe. They don't have thermal runaway issues like Lithium-Ion manganese or cobalt. You didn't quote me fully, but also i will add, LFP do not generate Hydrogen gas like Lead Acid batteries. You can deliberately short them and you still will not get an explosion. Heat and pressure that is relieved through the pressure valve is about as much excitement you're going to get with a lithium iron phosphate battery.

                  So anyway, back on topic. I'm not saying to leave a regular battery charger on all the time even if it switches to float/maintenance mode. I'm saying, I highly doubt they sell regular lead acid chargers that don't have Float/Maintenace mode. A manual battery charger is not a normal charger. And a Jump Starter is also not a regular battery charger.

                    @dingaling2: Most of what you wrote isn't worth my time responding.

                    As far as your "super safe LiFePO4 batteries" nonsense, I quote the facebook page of muller energy (the supplier of the ozbargain where you wrote your supersafe rubbish):

                    Muller Energy Pty Ltd
                    7 March ·

                    Now, this might sound like a topic I'd much rather not talk about as someone that sells batteries for a living, but I believe it's very important to reiterate the potential risks of building batteries, so that we can all take precautions to ensure we all stay safe.
                    Today, a customer called me. I had sold him some Victron gear (I had not sold him a battery nor cells, but that's not really relevant) roughly a year ago.
                    He told me about what happened to him two days ago:
                    He was working on his DIY 48V 280Ah (using EVE cells) battery, when he accidentally dropped a metal spanner. It created a dead short across the terminals, creating a surge current of well over 1000A. It melted the bus bars and fused the spanner to the battery cells.
                    Sometimes people say that LiFePO4 cells can't catch fire. That's not quite true and while they are much safer than NMC or Lithium Polymer cells, the vapourised electrolyte can catch fire and I believe it has a flash point somewhere between 700 to 800°C.
                    In this case, the pressure relief valves blew and created quite a directional fire. Thanks to my customer's quick reaction only ~$600 of gear (other than the cells) was destroyed as he was able to remove the cells from the motorhome.
                    He got extremely lucky! If it had been NMC or Lithium Polymer cells, there's simply no way he would have been able to save the motorhome and his life may even have been in danger. But even with the safer LiFePO4, it was still a very precarious situation. It's something that could happen to most of us in a moment of inattention.
                    So please stay safe and when building a battery always:

                      @rooster7777: Yep fair enough, you have no argument in other words - Lets change this battery charger subject to my cherry-picked copy and paste.

                      Agreed. Electricity is dangerous. Never forget safety when working with electrical, even low Voltage, as heaps of current can also be dangerous. I have nothing to add except LFP cells are becoming the preferred standard for EV's because not only are they cheaper to and longer lasting they are MUCH MUCH SAFER. And your copypaste example shows they are safer and did not explode or have the volatility we associate with typical lithium-ion batteries.

                        @dingaling2: Can you lie straight in bed?

                        As far as your "super safe LiFePO4 batteries" nonsense… I give an example of an uncontrollable fire, where major property loss was avoided by removing a burning cell from a motorhome. (a very brave and dangerous thing to do)
                        Your response is because the battery didn't explode, and was merely on fire uncontrollably, your super safe statement is still valid. Incredible!

                        Your original response to my statement:
                        "If a battery charger is not capable of auto trickle charging, it will overcharge a battery, boiling off all electrolyte and cooking it (eventually….not overnight)"
                        was to indicate that there couldn't be any charger on the market that would do this, as it would be suicide for any manufacturer/supplier.

                        You were too lazy to do a google search to educate yourself when I demonstrated that there were many chargers on the market, and in households, that are not intended to be permanently connected to a battery, and will damage and eventually destroy batteries if used this way.

                        I then listed a number of battery chargers which do exist in the market like this.

                        You then changed your tune and said Oh…I didn't mean those sort of car battery chargers! I meant smart chargers. There is no dispute that smart chargers are able to be permanently connected to batteries.

                        So long as any reader understands that :

                        -If a battery charger is not capable of auto trickle charging, it will overcharge a battery, boiling off all electrolyte and cooking it (eventually….not overnight)
                        and
                        -"LifePO4 are super safe" is dangerous nonsense

                          @rooster7777: Let's not forget the subject which was discussed that you copy pasted from. We were talking of Lithium Batteries - And Yes LFP are super safe compared to Lithium Ion. I'd go so far as to say safer than Lead Acid! Lead acid batteries not only contain highly a corrosive and dangerous sulphuric acid which can leach from the battery casing or caps, you don't want that touching your skin! It also releases an explosive gas which is released when the batteries are charging – Which can result in an explosion. Personally, LFP would be choice of battery if safety is the main factor.

                          I did a google search from your list, you should provide actual links. Anyway all I found was super uncommon manual battery chargers! so Niche these days! (and jump starters?!). I never changed my tune, i stuck with my point and challenged you to actually provide a link to a standard 12V car battery charger without float/maint modes. Why would you go looking for a manual car charger or jump starter? Trying hard to prove a point…

                          All you've done is create a pointless argument and some confusion.

                      @rooster7777: I have a campervan in Europe and one of the members of the group had a LiFeP04 battery professionally installed in his campervan. He posted how happy he was with the battery and how well it had performed on his maiden voyage. 3 weeks later he posted pictures of his 6 month old camper burnt out and showed pictures of what was left of the battery with the top blown off. A few days later he received a recall notice for the battery but it was to late for him. Luckily the insurance paid out and he ended up making a small profit as he got market value and the price had gone up. Many folks argue that LiFeP04 are totally safe and one guy even showed a video driving a metal stake through the battery but that doesn't necessarily reproduce the high temperatures involved when a dead short is applied across all the individual cells at the same time and 100's of amps are involved. I have the photo's of the destroyed camper and batteries and a copy of the recall notice so that's enough for me to make my own mind up on how safe the LiFeP04 batteries are. I still use them but have one with an internal BMS and a quality charger with a LiFeP04 charge profile.

                        @mdw000: That's no good. I would like to see the photos and read that about that one. And the brands recall notice. I assumed the dead short becoming a restive heater is all that was needed to burn the camper out. Im yet to confirm any explosions with LFP hence my interest.

                        The general consensus is that:

                        "Lithium phosphate cells are incombustible, which is an important feature in the event of mishandling during charging or discharging. However, it's important to note that lithium iron phosphate lifepo4 can still catch fire if they are not installed or used properly."

                        Can never be too careful in any case.

    A cheap 4 litre bottle of glass cleaner will last you a lifetime… add water and pour it in (your windscreen wiper reservoir, not the radiator or oil filler cap)

    If you don't want a lifetime supply… the cheapest windscreen wiper you fan find will be fine (remember to just add a bit to the water, not straight)

    It's not like oil, or coolant, or power steering fluid. It's only job is to wet the windscreen, no mechanical properties required)

      Anything Blackvue or Noco is a really good deal

    Got one of these, seems good value for a quiet compressor https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/blackridge-blackridge-2.…

    Don't buy from here without first checking Repco. Highly recommend using SCA's price matching to match with Repco's Storewide sale.

    Got some autoglym stuff for 5 to 8 bucks cheaper by price matching with Repco :)
