This was on that TV show, be interesting to stick a £20 trolley jack
Under one corner, see if you can open the back doors still.

As requards battery powered ‘anything’ vacuum cleaner, drill
Kids toy car, bicycle lights, mobile phone etc, the batteries
Degrade.

Once battery gets tired they fail rapid, everything is in series,
So you get reversed cells and ‘boiled cells’

Flatten a lorry battery by tapping off first 12v battery, then you will
Quite soon end up with TWO dud batteries, as first wont charge and second will be
Fizzing away at 16 volts.

In an ideal world a 2 volt 1000ah cell would be great, but the terminals
Would be the size of a cat.

If your in some dessert somewhere, delivering pizzas at night
Leaving it to charge on solar by day, do it.

But the losses in electric network, when the power starts in belguim
Turned into dc, across channel then turned back into ac, then up
The country, to a power socket that’s drawing about 10 amps
Why do that?

As for “100% torque at zero rpm”. Great spin that clutch centre out.
As for “no gearbox” drilling a hole in a tree with your black & wrecker drill, stick it low box, same for cycling uphill!

Get a bad connection, clean it, now changed resiance of terminal thats 5nm tight
Draws 900 amps not 90!

Electric bicycle the same 18650 cells, sone guy on YouTube did 25 miles bike ride, stopped 60 seconds, burnt his hoose doown.
