back in 2014 i was playing with a brand new Samsung tablet when the thing started smoking like crazy. I threw it in the kitchen sink, open the doors and if finally fizzled out. I contacted Samsung, they fedexed me a brand new one over night along with a return package and box for the bad one.. They actually provided a fire proof bag with a zip lock to place the old one in. I still use the replacement to this day.

If it's Lithium, it has a BMS. Now don't get miss concepted,, she'll beat your azz

There is a miss conception when people say Lithium Batteries can completely die if allowed to completely discharge. Most Lithium batteries today have a protection circuit that wont let the battery completely discharge.. And most Lithium batteries have BMS System Circuit (Battery Management System) that manages an array of things, charging, bulk, discharging, temperature etc. BMS systems depend on a small amount of battery current to function, else they simply go to sleep and the battery will look dead until the BMS gets enough energy to function. New BMS systems do not allow the battery to completely discharge, it turns the battery off reserving the small amount of energy so the BMS can function. If the Lithium battery looses all voltage due to a completely discharged battery then it needs woken up. How do you do that? it depends on the battery as there are several methods,, a google search for your particular battery will find the answer,, but the most common way i.e. a Power Tool Battery, you take a good charged battery and apply its voltage for several seconds to the dead battery.. That should 'wake' up the BMS so that it can now operate and sense the real charger to talk with and do its work.. a lot of people have thrown away perfectly good power tool batteries because they simply didn't know who to wake them up

There was some chatter on one of the HAM freqs last night discussing that GMRS was being used by some of the Rioters in Las Angels. Not being close enough to scan the traffic there, is anyone hearing that type of chatter in LA? Just curious..

My Army Can repeater utilizes a 50A Anderson connector that i can plug into my RV DC source or even to an AUX Plug on my truck tied directly to the battery.. Of course fused at 25 Amps. The cig adapters of today are not designed for large amp draws like the old original style were

isn't the display light intensity programable on that raido?

Hell yes, you will defiantly get some attention.. Think i would rather spend my money a few radios thuough ... I actualy met the caretaker lady that lived in that house at Burro Schimit back in 1982....She had 357's scattered througout her shack house and had one dangling off a rope by her living room easy chair.. she was pretty fiesty

The Pinnacles is pretty cool.. Lots of really cool areas around here.. I'm sure you've checked out Burro Schmit Tunnel.

Near Ridgecrest, about 3 miles from Hwy 395. 35°33'25.52"N 117°42'14.92"W. I think you hang out further south by Garlock and Randsburg.

thats the way i would do it.. They do have bigger DC Power stations with of course a bigger Price tag. Now remember a decent Lithium battery with relative long aH are very very pricey... Ask me how i know. I have about 1200 aH of Lithium in my RV and that was almost a 10Karot bill. I do power a DC repeater which is like running a LED on that system

the best thing you are going to find to power a 50W mobile is a 12V Power Stations, something like a Jackery. https://www.amazon.com/Jackery-Portable-Explorer-Generator-Optional/dp/B082TMBYR6/ref=asc_df_B082TMBYR6?mcid=7f28bbf116d332b5a61334e5c66268fe&hvocijid=2180212101588683819-B082TMBYR6-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2180212101588683819&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031792&hvtargid=pla-2281435179778&th=1

Actually,, shooting on a designated BLM shooting range against a very large backdrop.. I guarantee the jeepers air raid siren was much louder than our .308 shells exploding from our AR-10's... I feel sorry for all those jeepers, they had to go clean some dust off their pretty Mall Crawlers

For the price, it is surprising the quailty the Baufangs offer.

No sorry,,, didn't hang around after spending 3 hours in a hot 106 degree afternoon.. The jeeper parade was a bit kool but most were Fancy Mall Crawlers. Lifted, looking pretty all set up for outlanding The Air Raid Siren was pretty loud and impressive and unexpected considering a large military base is just a few miles away.. Dang, i havent heard an air raid siren in 40 years. I was curious who the group was and what they were up too.. No one here has the dig.. O.K.

So we go out shooting today in are fine hot desert.. Packing up and starting to leave a caravan of jeeps with all types of advertising on them parade by us. Something big even going on with outlanders in our desert this weekend. As we are watching, one guy in his jeep parks up on a hill within eye site from us.. All of a sudden we are hearing an Air Raid Siren, Louder than hell.. Turns out the guy on the hill has some sort of a hand crank air siren mounted in the back of his jeep and he is up there cranking away... Then the GMRS radios let loose.. Everyone was enjoying the nosie and their fun.. We left them behind in their dust.. It was actually kind of neat. They all defiantly had GMRS Radios and they gathered on 10, 11 & 12

if i remember, that was yellow water too

Even the Baufang's are pretty tough. Couple years ago when installing solar panels on my RV roof one of my UV5R jogged loose from my pocket clip and took a 12' fall to the cement.. I just said 'oh $hit" let it sit there on the cement while I continued with my work. The radio was blaring away sitting there on the ground. When i got down on the ground i checked her for damage, nothing but a slight indentation on one corner of the radio bear the antenna. Today, its one of my favorte radios, only becuse its been battle tested.

All the fire fighters in my community have the green Motorola's.. I was joking with one of the firefighters at Panda Expfress last week,, "Can you accidentally forget that thing on the table" .

Is it a HAM Lic? you follow this copied cliped process: To request a vanity call sign that was previously held by a deceased individual, you can apply for it under the "in memoriam" provision or the "close relative of former holder" provision, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). You must have in your station records a written statement from a spouse, child, grandchild, stepchild, parent, grandparent, stepparent, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, or in-law of the deceased confirming their association with the club and their consent to your request. Here's a more detailed explanation: 1. Check if the call sign is available: Use the FCC Universal Licensing System (ULS) or other databases like QRZ.com to see if the call sign is currently in use or available.

it its a HAM call sign there is a process you can take to acquire the call sign through the FCC via a Vanity Request. I don't think this would be abailable undere a GMRS lic though. Someone here may know. Steve?????? Of course you would need a HAM Lic

now thats pretty impressive,, a case twice the cost of the radios

think it is wishful thinking and a slight attempt to gain some support.. It's not right to try to bash a vendor, especially when the vendor would be left $$ out of pocket. Hopefully the OP will understand that and move ahead without trying to hurt someone

BSR is just a vender for the Wouxun product. His warrantee options are based on what the manufacture supports for their products. My very first Wouxun KG935G i bought developed a dirty volume control potentiometer 2 months after the warrantee expired. Like you, i contacted the vendor i purchased from, (BuyTwoWayRadios) hoping for some leniency on the warranty but no luck.. They said the manufacture would not support a replacement.. But they did give me some tips how to correct the problem with simple contact cleaners, it worked and I'm happy.

Well, you can always get you one of these..

yea, thats what i thought. I just didnt know for sure where this was heading. - thanks
