ZTS Multibattery Charge Level Tester

This is truly an amazing battery tester that can quickly indicate the charge level on almost any battery. Inexpensive battery checkers can give a good indication of the charge level of alkaline batteries, but the ZTS Multi-Battery Tester can quickly show the charge level of rechargeable NiMh and NiCd batteries as well. The ZTS Multi-Battery Tester (MBT) can check more than 30 battery types, including the popular NiMH and NiCd rechargeable batteries. Its microprocessor-controlled pulse load test is the most advanced and accurate available. The MBT computes the battery’s remaining power capacity (between 10-100%) during each test. It is easy to use – no switches or settings. Microprocessor controlled pulse load placed on the battery at the time of testing gives a clear reading of the battery charge level.

Global Sun Oven

Bake Boil or Steam without fuel. Bake at 360° to 400° F with the power of the sun. Can prepare anything that can be baked in a conventional oven with no energy expense. Experience the superior taste and nutritional benefits of sun-baked foods. What can I cook in a Global Sun Oven? Anything you can cook in a conventional electric or gas oven can be cooked in a Global Sun Oven. You can bake, boil and steam using any of your favorite recipes. What is the cooking temperature range? The Global Sun Oven will reach temperatures of 360 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The oven will generally reach its maximum temperature as it is being preheated. The temperature will drop when food is placed in the chamber.

Will food prepared in a Global Sun Oven taste the same as food prepared in my conventional oven? The food tastes much better! Solar cooking allows many of the natural flavors of food, which get baked out in conventional ovens, to remain. The slow, even rise in temperatures in a Global Sun Oven gives the complex carbohydrates time to break down into simple sugars allowing subtle natural flavors to emerge. Sun baked foods stay moist, the natural internal juices do not bake out, resulting in a superior, moist taste and much less shrinkage. How long does it take? Cooking times are close to the same as those in a conventional oven. Because the sun is often trying to run away and hide behind clouds, cooking times can vary. At times it may take a little longer. The factors that affect the cooking time are: the quality of the sunlight at the time you are cooking, the types and quantities of the food being cooked, and how often the oven is being refocused.
