@TomRaftery I am adding a link to a related electronics circuit project I tripped over (pun intended) where someone designed a DC-DC converter to use one product line of batteries with a different product line of tools/appliances:

I wanted to go another way, and bring out from "dead" batteries a steady 12 volts DC into a classic #DinoJuice car cigarette lighter socket form factor plug (hereby freely bequeathed as an idea that has probably already been produced).
Wasn't this the same company that was trying to sell America on how extremely safe their "XL" pipeline would be?
"The company on Thursday estimated the spill’s size at about 14,000 barrels and said the affected pipeline segment had been “isolated” and the oil contained at the site with booms, or barriers.
...
In 2019, the Keystone pipeline leaked an estimated 383,000 gallons (1.4 million liters) of oil in eastern North Dakota."

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — An oil spill in a creek in northeastern Kansas shut down a major pipeline that carries oil from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast, briefly causing oil prices to rise Thursday. Canada-based TC Energy said it shut down its Keystone system Wednesday night following a drop in pipeline pressure.
