Hot to trot

[John m]

All the Electricity fell out of my Phone .Working Monday and it went blank no power left in it .Recharged it and it drained in about 6 hours .Can the same happen to Vehicle Batteries in hot weather .I wonder if I cooked the battery as the phone was in a cradle on the Window ?7 phones in the drawer at home all have dodgey batteries ?

Car batteries are mostly liquid cooled.In summer I put my air con on and the phone cools as it's on the vent.

Mine shut down 'cos it got too hot over the weekend. There was a notification to that effect when I switched it back on so I kept it on the ashtray, out of the sun, for a while. Must drive the day men nuts in the summer!

Might do that next time but I tend not to use the AC too much sine someone told me it's bad for my lungs... although 40 smokes a day can't be great for them!

I stick a sheet of white cardboard behind it to deflect the heat .I like it just in front of me to my left where customers cannot grab it .

Another idea is to leave the gaff on a nearly full phone battery so you don't have to charge it which produces heat also.

Cheap Chinese phone every two years is probably the only answer.

Rodent did I perchance pass you in Artane on Monday in the Aft Noon ?

Possibly in the evening... First job to Dublin was a drop at DAP at 19:08, followed by another DAP drop at 19:18 (from Airways Ind Est)... so woulda been after that.
