Hi Martin,

About this new video;

The first part 0 - 17:40 is of course interesting, and all of us knew that. A lot of information can be found on the internet and youtube about the same subject.

You secund part however, about batteries however is VERY VERY interesting and usefull for a LOT of people. I am saying this, because i am also busy with power consumption, that is one of the reasons i needed a good multimeter which can measure Amps in AC.

I was looking on the net for information on how to calculate power consumption for batteries. You can find, but,...phew,... some are so complicated with new weird formulas and all that.

You are the first on Youtube (and trust me, i was looking so hard to find a good tutorial about this) who is talking about this subject. So thank you.

Just my advise and tip : Edit the title, or make the same video, and edit it, from part 17:40 and call it power consumption for BATTERIES , or something.

I am 100 % sure, this wil be a video wich wil get very popular in time !

Just an idea of course, but this secund part was very, very usefull for me. So thank you so much, now i can calculate consumption for batteries without those weird formulas. Is explained very good, like all your tutorials.

Yes Sean yes ,......Did you understand what i wrote ?

Is just a tip for Martin to get more viewers and to know might looking for. Rather then opening a multimeter and discus about it for a few.

Martin is the first who is discussing power consumption from batteries on youtube, he should exploid that more, so that people can find his vids. Now is somewhere in the middle of it, when people click on his vis, they wil think, och no, not again about AC,.....

Yes, a good thought, hopefully Martin will take it up and do it as a tutorial soon. nothing wrong with the idea of having a better explanation.

Yeps.
Just trying to be positive and trying to help the channel to get more viewers. And just a tittle can make a difference.
Power consumption : everyone knows, when they are busy with electronics and electricity.
Power consumption for batteries ? I am not sure everyone can calculate, there is lot to tell about it, and very intereseting for a lot of viewers.
This : http://www.circuitsonline.net/forum/view/54710 (is in dutch), is a forum also about electronics. Someone is asking how to calculate the consumption of the batterie of his new laptop : 3 pages long  And those guys are in electronics too, engineers and so on,...
So, there is lots to talk about it, not very simple and hardly to find a good tutorial about it.

Thanks gents, I certainly do appreciate the feedback and ideas.

I have made a change to the title...added an annotation at the beginning to jump to 17:40...and added to the tags as well.

Thanks!
