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!
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!
