We are talking here about “topping” off a Lead Acid battery that is just under being capable of turning over the engine.
A Lead Acid battery at 0% is ruined.
That is why it is a mistake to let the starter go into full stall when trying to start a car. All that does is drain the battery even more.
As soon as that happens, use this. It is your last chance. Drain the battery too low before using this and you’re not going to be successful.
Part of it could be how a lead acid battery charges, the idea of a surface charge. Almost dead to can start a car isn’t a big step, the battery just has no real reserve beyond a few seconds.
This bulb has been driving me CRAZY for months now. It’s a BIG LED bulb and was originally $80. Months ago it hit the “6” price and then the “3”. I would have thought it would have gone to a penny by now, in fact I have taken one up many many times over the last few months hoping………
Here it is, 300W replacement and boasting 3300 lumens. It does have a large, non standard base, so it would not simply screw into an Edison E37 socket. But who cares, I just want one to rip apart.
Here are some other deals going on.
This Makita bit set just hit the 3 price, 75% off
This is a bucket fan. I would call this a Red Neck airconditioner. Put it on a bucket of ice and blow chilled air around.
Was $100, but is now $40.04. They claim $100 but I know it was $79.95, that’s why the “4” price (50% off) is $40.04
When it hits $20.02, I’m in! This uses and includes a Ryobi compatible battery and charger.
I am seeing the Ridgid compressors at some HD’s at full price. Most stores are cleaned out at the $75.03 price
This same store has the floor jack and jack stand combo at full price.
AND
The “hearse” lady has a load of old stock.
Or is THAT what they do with anyone caught penny shopping :confounded:
I KNOW you have been interested in that bulb, you have been posting pictures as the price went down.
I am reposting YOUR pictures.
Now mine again….
Everyone should note the progression in the prices. It goes from full price, $79.97
To the “00” price of $59.00
Then the “6” price of $47.06
Then the “3” price of $20.03
The problem is that bulb should have already gone to a penny over a month ago. It doesn’t quite follow the rules.
It’s date IS old enough, and during the last month I must have marched one up to the checkout 25 times!
True enough, often things you bought at a penny are still full price here.
Those 1500 lumen daylight bulbs you got for a penny still sell for $9.99 here, they even released a new two bulb package of the same bulbs after you bought yours at a penny.
Getting back to the floor jack and jack stand combo. Today I was in the HD that had them on the floor for $60.06. Remember now that all other stores have them at full list of $109. I did find one store that has 6 in the overhead and at THAT store they are on clearance at an even $75.
Of course the store that had them at $60.06 was out of stock, at that price they would easily sell through. Anyway, I went up to customer service and asked them to check stock. When they did, I snapped this picture. #1001-650-920
Also, I saw an unattended price markdown cart and got a preview of some reductions to come?
Looks like Titan car batteries are getting the “3” price (75% off)
In an ongoing effort to make California feel bad, I can confirm that the Ridgid compressor above is still at full price at my local Bay area store. We rarely get nice things! (But thanks for the easy-print barcode nonetheless.)
These Bluetooth Speaker - Lanterns that just a couple of weeks ago went from $15.04 to $7.52 have just gone to a penny.
I was lucky enough to find one.
And the Artic Breeze fan that I just posted about going to $40.04 has just hit $20.02. The “4” and “2” prices change quickly
The included battery and charger. They are Ryobi compatible but the included charger is a wall wart. Takes 10 hours to charge the battery.
