Re: [LUG] Powerbank PB 12000A and a Raspberry Pi

Hey Guys

Thanks for all the help. I am learning and I made a mistake in typing ah instead of mah. Now I have learnt one more thing aabout amp hours and milliamp hours.

Your advice Gordon is spot on. You gave it in a straight forward way that helped the understanding and also enabled me to actually Google and learn a bit more.

And thank you Mr Everett for pointing out my lack of appreciation for an m - it does make quite a difference doesn't it. Onwards and upwards - I'll be using solar panels next and understanding them!

Thanks guys.

Rich
