    Panasonic exits VRLA market

    You guys may be interested in this - Panasonic is abandoning the lead-acid market for good. So now only Yuasa remains.

    And the Chinese companies too? Aren't they flooding the market? (incidentally, the photo in the link says... MIC...)

    Kind of sad, lead acid batteries are "easy" to recycle where lithium ion's difficulty ends up getting binned.

        Panasonic VRLA were top quality, end of an era. There's nothing left but cheap chinese VRLA with not even 1/2 the lifetime. Just look inside, the lead plates look like they were made by kids, all mashed crooked.
        People want the lowest price and here is the result. Race to the bottom for price and kill off the decent competitors.

          for the last three years (pretty much since they sold it to Yuasa), panashitnic was one of the worst craps, yet often at double the price of pretty much anything else, I've lost some good moneit on that shit failing very prematurely

          some Yuasa models seem to be very good though, for others, CSB seems to be the right choice - been acquired by Hitachi around the same time

            Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
            by Andre Gilbert
            Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here🤔?
            Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.

            Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
            by AquaMan Ua
            Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

            Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1 BIOS repair
            by aa10aa10
            Good day,

            I have tried to remove BIOS supervisor password from Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1. Model number CF-33AENABTG, unfortunately I don't have any other info.

            I read the BIOS using afuwin, edited it and tried to flash new edited BIOS using afuwin. Unsuccessfully. Afuwin showed "Error: Problem erasing flash." starting with 0x00040000 and stoped. Then I tried many other options to flash BIOS from Windows without any luck. Finally i rebooted the device - and no post. Afterwards I have read the corrupted bios chip (MX25L12873F) using EZP2010 programmer....

            Panasonic part number in service manuals
            by Yanleb
            In the Panasonic service manuals, both in the board schematics and in the part listing, the part numbers that are given are Panasonic part numbers instead of the actual part numbers.

            This is especially annoying for small SMD components like diodes and transistors when you only have 1-3 digits printed on the component body.

            For an example, look at the attached PDF.

            Do you have a way to cross reference the Panasonic part number with the actual part number?

            Thanks....
