So there I am trying to answer something tomlee59 said on recelled batteries sometimes working and sometimes not. Since I have some complicated stuff to get straight I quote him and go thru many, many, many preview cycles to get it right so I do not to have to ask someone later to please, please fix it for me.
I finally get it almost right, the part about connecting wires in the right order, the specific chips used in the battery monitor and why, the links to the chip datasheets, the ways the gas gauge can fail, the precise requirements for replacement cell matching, all stuff not easily found on the internet if at all.
One more preview needed to see if the url links need special treatment to be completely displayed in the posted message. Then if they are ok I can then submit just once. But I never get beyond the next preview...
KA-BOOM!
Suddenly it thinks I am not logged on.
It says I need to be logged on to quote a message.
Everything I typed in is gone.
Maybe I cannot even spend more than an hour COMPOSING a message.
Why do I even bother trying to help? >
