Uhm, there is obviously not much time left to publish stuff in my beloved random shit category in 2023..

So .. here we go.

There is actually a reason for me to get a bit of OCD handling things the right way.

Some few years ago, i started to label all my power supplies, wall warts, youname it. Usually with the delivered voltage, sometimes even the max ampere it can deliver.

Why?

The f.... so i don't always need to carry a looking glass, a camera or maybe even freakin glasses to find a random power supply whenever i need one.

So this latest one was a more or less very special one. Usually, such wall warts deliver 5 or 12 volts and between 0.5 and 2 or maybe even 3 amps..... The bigger ones usually from and for laptops deliver something between 16 and 24 volts and lots of ampere if needed.

But this special one is, truly special. Delivering a whopping 22V at 1 Amp.. It's for a charging cradle for a CB handheld trancseiver and will charge 9 AA/LR6 cells in a pack at once... yikes. ;)
