Seen Tavarish connect a dead battery that wouldn't charge to a good battery, to a charger to fool it into charging

if the battery is down to absolute zero the charger simply doesn't turn on because it can't tell it's hooked up to anything. The NOCO has a "Force" mode that turns on the charging regardless, until there's enough juice there to resume normal smart charging.

Is that a typical winter temperature for you? 😜

My motorcycle shop used one of these to "wake up" a dead battery so a normal charger could work. Basically using it as a "dumb" charger to get a little juice into the battery before moving it to a smart charger.

NTD!

Got tired of cheap electronic calipers constantly needing re-zeroing and re-adjustment and battery swaps and still not being reliable after all that. It's the one tool that I use a ton, especially needing to measure up some part to 3D-print a replacement, but also in general. So decided to get something simple, but hopefully reliable:

No fancy electronic readouts, digital Mitutoyos are a bit out of my budget, I'm not using them for any sort of job after all. Although if these prove good, I might decide to treat myself at some point.
 
I'm going to need to drill into stone for this next project, so new hammer drill!
