I have two of the Rigol 1054Z scopes upgraded to 100MHz.  I use them for surge and high-voltage work where I wouldn't want to risk my Keysight MSOX3054A. 

The deep memory function on the rigols is very useful, I normally set up a repetitive surge test and use the record function to capture hundreds of waveforms for a test run. 
One of the most useful free companion software for the Rigol is "bildschirmkopie", it allows automatic retrieval of screen shots from the recorded waveforms.

Very nice program

sadly the post company in sweden has added extra costs to packages on chinese packets so not so cheap to order from china anymore.

Items from China on ebay has an option to add postage, so it's not sent by China Packet Post.
I don't know if it's all sellers but from Hong Kong I get post in about 4 days. with tracking.
I keep the orders small as they get though without having a tax placed on them.
if its going to get taxed, have it sent via one of the main firms like DHL they only add the tax not a handling fee as well.
some sellers also state the value is higher than what you paid, I have stopped using them.

i am moving to croatia shortly and i need to find out if it is possible to get cheap stuf from there instead.

looks like croatia has the same as sweden adding extra costs but i need to look how much extra that is since sweden adds 75 sek minimum and the tax on that

I have a few of these on order. my old Dell laptop battery had 6 good 18650-28A

Last year I replaced my drills ni-cad cells with Li-on plus a BMS for 12v got 150% increase in running time too.

the ones i got have 5 x 18650 batteries in paralell i have looked at some and mmost of those i looked at seems to be batteries in parallel with an output of 3.7volts transformed to 5volts

no worries about discouraging my plans, since it just an idea i got.
and i want to do some playing with altium on rainy days.

Not to discourage your plans, but have you looked at over the counter options?  You likely won't get the 4a output (unless you Y adapter two not shared ports) but there are a ton of 18650 USB full-featured battery bank cases out there for cheap...

i would like to make a usb converter with a battery pack of 2x li batteries in parallel and to transform that down to 5v with an output 2-4 amps with charging and protection on batteries like over and low
voltage overcurrent protection. charging and output ports i would prefer separate.

any input on ic's to use. i have looked on some manufacturer and this topic is a bit over my knowledge soft out
when finished i will share scematics and pcb made in altium 19

regards.

and a big thanks to all uploaders

Note	I have been playing with Raspberry Pi and Arduino a lot. Just got my hand on a Zynq board.   Trying to learn how to compile embedded Linux from scratch and get it to work with some RTL block in the FPGA.   My day job is a hardware designer, my main language is SystemVerilog.

Attached you will find the latest release of Segger J-link utilities (v6.46g) with patched DLLs to:
- remove checks on cloned programmers
- remove nag screen when using EDU/ST/NXP/... J-Link programmers

Please take care that I was not able to test the patches: now I own only original Segger programmers!
