thank you....
I did buy a commercial tester from Amazon which, as you say was only around £30 but it relies on the CCA (not the AH) of the battery for accurate test results...unfortunately no manufacturer will quote the CCA of a standard SLA battery as they arent realy designed to provide short...
has anyone made a tester for SLA type lead acid batteries?.... the recommended method seems to be to pass a small ac current of around 1kHz through the battery to determine its internal resistance....
thanks for your prompt reply.... I purchased them as 18M2+ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125432691082 .......... ......... https://www.rapidonline.com/picaxe-axe015m2-18m2-microcontroller-13-5026
Is PIC16F1847 exactly the same as PIC18M2+?
I ask as the ones I recently purchased (from a reputable UK supplier) are only marked 16F1847 with no reference to them being 18M2+
TIA
Difficult to be sure as I dont use it on the laptop very often
SSD is fine - loads of tests run and it is OK
Have un-installed / re-installed several times
Agree with the windows update possibility.... that does many weird and <not so> wonderful things......but this happened after update...
Thanks...my laptop is not a low spec machine - 64 bit i7 + SSD - and is fully clean and streamlined.... the fact that this problem is intermittent is all the more confusing
I have the latest editor program and the laptop (win 10 pro 64bit) is fully up to date
I am using Bitdefender paid for version on PC and laptop
Opening editor takes ages to load on the laptop and when saving a file also takes an age, usually with a “this program is not responding” message...

No such...
