Last week, when I should have been in the studio filming another new product video, I was instead sitting in a large room with a few hundred other civic-minded individuals, fulfilling my annual jury duty obligation. I was pulled for a jury pool, brought into the courtroom and questioned for what seemed like an exceptionally long time by both the prosecuting and defense attorneys. Finally, in the end I was released, and didn't have to sit on the jury this time around...
...just not in time to crank out this new product video. However, I wasn't about to pass up a chance to demo something as exciting as a battery charger! For all of the information on it, take a look at the product page, as well as the Hookup Guide.
So without further ado, here it is, the new Sparkfun LiPo Charger Plus!
Sorry, Your Honor, but this is the only charge in which I am interested
Closest I ever came to actually serving on a jury was a couple of decades ago. Each person got a number, and I had a number around 70, and they got enough around 67. They said that the trial would last about a month, and it got lots of news coverage, and actually lasted about 3 months! (I think I could have gotten out of it because I have significant knowledge of DNA -- having studied my genetic bone ailment.)
Anyway, thanks for the video, and by interesting coincidence, YouTube offered me something else I found interesting (on the Amateur Radio "FT8" mode), and then I watched another one after it! Both of which were valuable, and I wouldn't have seen them without yours, so thanks! ;-)

"...can charge up to a maximum of 1000 milliamp-hours..." ? ? ? ? ? No. It can charge at a maximum rate of 1000mA. The bullet point in the video compounds the error: "1000 mAh hrs".
Moderation Edit Note: Rule #1 Be nice to people.
Thank you for this video!
