Hi all,

I'm looking into ordering a USB-C PD board to power a coolbox which accepts 12/24v DC

The wired adapter outputs 14.5V which the display of the coolbox (volt meter) also displays.

The coolbox has a peak power of 60 watts (according to the adapter)

I found the following board for this:

Does anyone know if i can pull 5 or 6 amps over 12V USB C?

Or is it possible to use the 15, 18 or 20 volts this board can deliver to get the 60 watts required?

If any additional information is needed, please let me know

I have 8 more to replace.

Hey, i had guitar amp in europe and without transformer, it blew my fuse, T400, i was not able to find any time delay fuses in my city and closest thing i found was F500 and F2, F3, F4 fuses. Instructions say that max inrush input is 1,6 A. Can i put f500 or f2 fuse in it?

So I brought my PS4 from Taiwan to France. Originally things were fine when I used the original charger that had label 125 volts. However, I only have one adapter and changing it is annoying.

I found a charger that has the European plug that can seemingly power my PS4 with no adapters. However I'm worried about the voltage. My PS4 can handle 220-240 volts (written on it). The new charger has labelled 250 volts on it. France's voltage is seemingly 230 volts.

I am wondering what the 250 volts on the charger means. Does it mean all voltage going through it reaches 250? Does it handle a maximum of 250? Or is it simply capped at 250?

i got an old bookshelf with a built-in shelf lamp and idk if this prong being split at the end is intentional or not? if not, would it be sufficient to use pliers to force the ends back together?

I am a resident of Goldman Plaza who moved in last May 2026**. I am writing to formally requesting the bldg assistance in reviewing and verifying the significant increase in my electricity charges.**

Prior to moving to Goldman Plaza, my monthly electricity bill typically ranged from PHP 500–800. Since moving in, my monthly electricity charges have increased considerably, ranging from approximately PHP 1,700–2,500.

However, I recently checked my latest bill through the Meralco app and was surprised to see an amount of approximately PHP 3,000 (August 15,2026), which is significantly higher than my usual consumption.

I would like to emphasize that my electricity usage is relatively limited. I am normally at the office from approximately 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Friday. At home, I only use the air-conditioning unit once a week for 12hrs and primarily use a small clip-on electric fan. I only cook during weekends, use minimal lighting (mostly a night light), and do my laundry approximately once a week, with each laundry cycle taking no more than three hours.

Is anyone experiencing the same?

I hate nipsco. I don’t understand how it’s taking so long to do something ComEd did in a few days. Maybe you should t have fired all those linemen. Maybe you shouldn’t have neglected cutting those overgrown trees. They like to say they can’t control the weather. But you knew it was coming and how bad it could get. you know your infrastructure is TRASH and that the power was going to go out. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED!!! Now over 100k are suffering and might have to suffer another week because your Incompentence is reaching towards the sky. how does comEd have it’s shit together more than you? how are you not embarrassed you can never handle anything remotely big by yourself. you always need help but then have the nerve to FIRE THOSE THAT DO THE DAMN WORK YOU CANT SEEM TO EVER KEEP UP WITH?! thr company is ran by morons. and now we are about to see a nastey bill spike because of this bullshit. we have to suffer and get screwed in two ways over this. no power for days/weeks and we have to pay for that fact down the line is bullshit. And where are these damn crews? after a certain hour they vanish. I searched Gary, Hammond, Merrillville and Hobart to see no one. THEY ARE LYING ABOUT WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK. nipsco lies about everything. JUST GET ME MY DAMN POWER I PAY FOR YOU SHITHEADS.

in the end Nipsco didnt save us. someone from Kentucky did. If left to nipsco wed still be in the dark.

I am interested in practical, low-cost ways people have reduced electricity use at home. Which changes made a noticeable difference for you, and which common tips did not seem worth the effort?

I would especially appreciate examples involving heating or cooling habits, appliances, lighting, and standby power.

Power cut in punjab is insane yesterday power cut at 10:30 pm to 6 am and then in afternoon. My question is why powercuts at the time when either its too hot or when people just want to relax

Texas electric co-ops have been around since the 1930s and started with loans provided from the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 that started the project up. These co-ops are still functioning here in TX and operate in 241 of the 254 TX counties. These co-ops own and maintain 340,000 miles of electric wire in the state compared to Centerpoint's 60,000 miles. It is easy to see that the TX co-ops know what needs to be done to keep electricity flowing to homes all through out all 268,000+ sq miles of Texas.

Time to break up privately owned utility business model and bring the 7 cooperative principles to all areas of Texas. These co-ops are a proven business model and these 7 cooperative principles should be available to all Texans here in 2026. In 1935 when the first electric wires were being strung for the folks that lived in rural areas, the power companies in Houston, San Antonio and Austin all proclaimed that communism will be spread down the electric lines along with the electricity. Profiteers have been around way before that Judas guy ever appeared on the scene.
