John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 4 March 1925:<br> CENTRE LINE POLES GOING<br> The <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/tramways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tramways</span></a> department of the City Corporation is at present engaged, as one of its minor works, in the removal of the remaining centre line street <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/poles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poles</span></a> in Lambton quay, and will later remove these poles from Jervois quay as well. The overhead gear is to be hung from special cabling strung from poles on either side of the roadway.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250304.2.106" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250304.2.106</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Trams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trams</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PowerPoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PowerPoles</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LambtonQuay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LambtonQuay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

ToroidalCore<p>I have one of these little car jumper packs. Basically, it's a small <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/lithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lithium</span></a> <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battery</span></a> you can attach jumper cables to, but it also has an LED to work as a flashlight, and a couple USB ports for power. You charge it either from a wall cube power supply, or a cigarette lighter plug. It's rated for about 60 watt hours of capacity. The brand is Powerall, but there are similar products under different brands/manufacturers.</p><p>I wanted to see if I could use it for powering bigger things, eg amateur <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radio</span></a> gear. The alligator clips have a weird blue connector on them, which plugs into the end of the jumper pack. It turns out this is an <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/EC5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EC5</span></a> connector, which is actually used more with lithium batteries for things like radio controlled vehicles. I found some online, and made a pigtail adapting them to Anderson <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/PowerPoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PowerPoles</span></a>, with a fuse inline. I haven't tried powering anything huge, but it works.</p><p>If you attempt this, keep in mind that I'm not sure if the jumper cable connector is switched, or if it connects right to the battery (I suspect the later, I haven't opened it up to check.). I'm not sure how aware the BMS is off power out that port, so you'll want to keep an eye on the voltage. It may let you drain it completely, which probably isn't good. That said, since it's meant to be connected to a car starting battery while you try to crank the engine, I assume it can take something of a beating. A fuse is a good idea too.</p>
