I thought it was very smart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Easy to replicate, and provides all the information you need in the displays in the project box.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I love how well written your blog post is, with detailed explanation of the circuit and nicely laid out results. This is great that your DC load project was put to good use here too.&lt;span&gt; I am surprised at the results, one would have thought the E*** and D**** ought to have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;been much longer lasting compared to the Panasonic given the difference in cost, but it shows&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;how we should never assume.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway I have to say again, thanks for sharing your work on this, and the very clever circuit. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=21346&amp;AppID=315&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
