    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    Thanks, SYZYGY, sounds good ! I dont think such exist, I had searched myself a while ago. The table I have in mind is much simpler: merely a suggestion of a list of basic settings suitable for commenly used batteries. Happy to act as beta-tester ! :)

    Charger choice question

    Very good choice ! The SC4 can charge with 4x 1.5A which is good & usefull. There are not many chargers which are this powerfull. With 4 cells, the D4 is limited to 375mA, so AA cells take quite long to charge and I'm not sure if dV always works with so low charge current - although according...

    Charger for C Cells - Need Help

    Nice charger ! There are indeed only a very few charger (these days) into which 4 C-cells fit. If you are still looking for such, one other is the PALO C906W. According to lygte-info.dk this is a fairly decent charger. It seems still available in aliexpress.

    Best NiMh battery for telephone handset -- constant charging? Eneloop Lite?

    Hi, I am fully with you. I hesitate to put the rather pricey eneloops into my cordless phones and see them "grilled" by those mostly dreadfull chargers ... I would assume the eneloop lite would have a longer life - with the sacrifice that the speaking-time is shorter (than with regular...

    SkyRC NC2500 Pro - First impressions

    Hello & happy New Year ! As I increasignly happend to have 5 or 6 cells to charge and was too lazy to charge them in two batches in my 4-bay chargers I recently bought the new SkyRC NC2500 Pro. (Which is quite different from the - discontinued - NC2500 non-Pro !) Overall it works ok, but I am...

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    Yes, same for me ... The older the batteries, the higher the iR, the wamer they get during charge, leading to dV kicking in and cancelling the charge. Maybe try lowering the charge current - of course be carefull, as this can lead to overcharge when using dV for stopping the charge. Maybe...

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    Basically, you need one program for each chemistry and capacity, so three in your case. I usually only set the charge current to around 0.5 x capacity (for both NiMH and LiIon). I dont even set the CAPACITY and CUT TIME, but of course they are additional safety features - especially if the...

    klarus first smart ring tactical light with RECHARGEABLE FUNCTION

    Looks good, I like direct-rechargable lights. What tint has the LED ?

    How could possible that 1 AA flashlight drive to MAX 700 LUMENS???

    Indeed, 90 lumens is a bit too much for normal use for extended periods. Talking about time: is the runtime really only 1 hr 50 mins in low ? That seems short, compared to XP-G lights with "high" and similar runtimes. And, also, 6000K is a bit too cold for me, I would prefer a warmer tint.

    4Sevens Quark Mini AA & 123 Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES, PICS, and more!

    Great review, as always, thank you very much ! Only detail I'm missing is reverse polarity protection (for AA), can anybody comment ? The foursevens homepage is not really clear in this neither.

    Favour Light LTC-20E4AA/LTC-20E4AA-L Lantern (185 Lumens Max, 4xAA) Clones

    Apparently, this is also sold as: MacTronic CAMP PRO MINI LT-185AA XGlow XC-1001. LiteXpress 103 (This might be XP-C Version though, as the homepage states only 141lm. -> http://www.litexpress.com/en/lanterns/camp/camp-103/ Some shops state 185lm though.) (All found in Germany.) I ordered...

    HUGSBY P2 CREE Q5 310 Lumen Flashlight Torch

    Hi Jerry, a Cree Q5 flux LED has 107-114 lm @ 350 mA. With the quoted working current of max 600mA (which sounds reasonable) you will not get more than 170 emitter lumen. Thus, there is no realistic chance of 310 lumen. With an AA battery you will very likely get even less lumen, given that...
