  • I want to upgrade my battery...?

    Battery upgrade question.........?

    I have a small electronic device which uses a 3.7 volt lithium battery with a 170mAH. The device lasts about 90 minutes with the current battery but I want to double or triple that life, so I was considering replacing the existing battery with one rated at 3.7 volts and 900mAH. My question is this, Will that result in longer life of the device when charged and not harm the device? From the research I have done it will work and not pose a current flow issue. Thanks for any info you may give! :)

  • 1971 Volkswagen Super beetle question.............?

    My friend has a super beetle that has a strange problem, it will not start with the ignition or with a jump, but will start if we push start it. According to him, it has a generator and the light came on right around the time this started. The belt is tight, but I have not started any troubleshooting yet as I wanted to see if anyone has run into this before? I have worked on beetles before, but its been a while and i dont want to waste time. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks to all who reply!

  • What is this sound my Jeep wrangler makes in the front end?

    I have always had a severe knocking sound in the front end on the right side wheel when I make a really tight left hand turn and the jeep has a new CV joint. It made the noise before the new joint and still does it after. A buddy of mine said that jeeps have that problem due to the extreme angle of the joint when turning, but it sounds like the wheel is about to come off. When I shook it down everything is tight. I dont know these things well enough to know better so what is the story with the front end on these things. I have a 98 TJ with the 4.0 and a Sahara Pkg. I think there are lockers in the front diff. I bought it from a dealer and it had been tinkered with. In the snow it pulls like a champ even in 2WD so I am pretty sure both diffs have lockers in them. The rear chirps when I take a hard right from a light. Sounds like lockers or posi. Does anyone know what the Sahara Pkg comes with as far as Diff's as well? Thanks!!

  • Overfilled a Jeep Wrangler with too much oil.................?

    I accidentally over filled my Jeep with an extra quart of oil and ran it for a day like that. I drained the extra quart out but now the jeep has a slight knocking sound when I run it. It kind of sounds like a diesel and it is only present at idle. The oil pressure is fine according to the gauge. I have the 4.0 engine. It is a 1998. I notice that the oil pressure is good, but it drops to about 20 when resting at a light. Not sure if that is ok for a Wrangler or not. Some say yes, others no. So anyone know what I did?

  • How to seal up an Arrow Aluminum Shed?

    I feel like an idiot for buying this thing, but I didnt know any better. Basically this is one of those sheds you see all over the place that look like little aluminum houses with sliding doors in the front. Well if you have ever tried to put up or take apart one of these, you feel my pain. Despite all my efforts and several tubes of silicone, it still leaks. I want to seal the whole damn thing so I thought maybe I could coat it with some sealant like the spray on sealer that they have, or something like it. Does anyone have any ideas or perhaps have the same problem?? Thanks!

  • Electrical wiring question?

    I have a friend that wants me to rewire a light circuit for him and here is my question. There are 3 lights in a room, he wants me to build a wall to divide the space, and then add a switch to the light that will be isolated by the divider wall. The problem is that the fixture is the last on on the line and if I put a switch on it, the light will still turn on and off if you hit the original switch. He wants the lights to be independent. Should I remove that light from the circuit and wire it up from a light socket or something, or is there a way to get the juice from this circuit? Thanks for the help!

  • Why would an Atheist get married?

    It just occurred to me how many married Atheists there are out there. If they dont believe in God, why go through a ceremony specifically designed to bond you in heaven? Is it for the health insurance?

  • How to seal a metal shed?

    I bought one of those metal sheds that you see everywhere and I had no idea what total piece of crap it was. Its a very long story, but it leaks from the roof in a few places and the whole thing condensates so bad it is like a rain forest in there and the water beads up and rains all over everything. Now its rusting on the inside! I am at my wits end with this thing and I was wondering since there are 100 million of these things around that someone else must have this problem as well. I was seriously considering spraying the whole thing on the insise with Rhino Liner or something like that which would seal the water out and kill the rust. Any ideas??

  • What does this symbol mean?

    I see it on cars all the time. Its an outline of a hand, and the fingers are extended, except for the ring finger, which look like it is tucked in so you cant see it. Now Im gonna get dirty for a sec, from what I remember, that stood for a sexual act, which I wont describe., The other day I saw that symbol on a car and it said in loving memory of and it had a name, and then that under it. I surely hope that I am wrong about the meaning of this. Can some one clue ,me in?

  • Travon Martin Question?

    Is it just me, or has there really been absolutely NO evidence of any racial profiling by this Zimmerman guy? The media has spun it out of control, but if you examine it, he was on the 911 call when he started to follow Travon, and he never said this black guy looks suspicious. Perhaps Travon DID look suspicious. We will never know. I personally have seen suspicious people of all colors. Its not color, its demeanor and attitude. For Gods sake, Zimmerman is not even technically white anyway! Why does a group of people go to such lengths to look "hard", listen to very graphic music about violence, make yourself look like a "gangsta" and then get mad when someone actually thinks that they ARE one? White, Black or Pink, if you look like a gangsta, Im going to be put in a defensive place, since I want to survive. Is it good advice to tell people, "when your out in public, make sure you dont look around and especially ignore any people that are just hanging around with no real task at hand. Go to ANY self defense class, the first thing they teach is awareness! To hell with freakin Heraldo.Heraldo is DESPERATE for anyone to say his name. Did zimmerman ever say, this guy looks suspicious because he was wearing a hoodie?? NO! Its media hype! In this situation, there are 2 kinds of people.the kind that jump up and start yelling about anything they can, and the kind that sit there and rub our heads and say what are we going to do now? So, can you find any hard evidence that this is a racial crime?
