    Varta 15minute Ultra Fast charger: battery destroyer?

    Hi to all, some months ago, before becoming a member of this forum, I bought a Varta 15minute ultra fast charger. I needed something to get rid of my personal misbehaviour of forgetting to charge GPS batteries until the morning when I need it. And it worked, in 10 minutes it can charge a...

    RCR123s? Recommendations!

    I'm using with success Tenergy 3.0V RCR bought from batteryjunction. You can buy a 4 pack with the charger. I use 3.0V instead of 3.7V because I need to do it. You can use even LiFePO4 3.2V cells, batteryjunction sells them.

    Why does surefire use twist-on tailcaps?

    I also like the quiet operation. A Twisty tailcap can be operated without any click sound. It's a tactical feature, but the 'click' of my Fenix LD20 can wake up my daughter, if I am very near; the twistcap of my Kroma does not.

    "1C" max discharge rate is affected by the number of batteries in series?

    Re: "1C" max discharge rate is affected by the number of batteries in series? Thanks silverfox! So I messed things up and the max safe discharge rate is 2C and not 1C. It is allowed to run an 1.5A led with 900mAh cells if it seems safe (warm cells). I know that 900mAh is somehow overextimated...

    Exaggeration of Output and Run times

    I can understand that the average joe doesnt care about the numbers. But this cant be an excuse for fraud. If a manufacturer lies about nutrition facts, it can be sued. If I state that my torch can reach 1million lumes for 30 days and it's a lie, I have to be stopped. That was a malpractice...

    "1C" max discharge rate is affected by the number of batteries in series?

    Re: "1C" max discharge rate is affected by the number of batteries in series? My fear is that an increased discharge rate higher than 1C will end in explosion of the cell due to overheating. I use RCR in a Kroma, that reaches 1200mA max when use white high and red high together and 1A max in...

    "1C" max discharge rate is affected by the number of batteries in series?

    Re: "1C" max discharge rate is affected by the number of batteries in series? thanks for the answers so in a standard surefire G2 setup, the cells are in series, and 1C is equal to the capacity of a single cell. and so using 2x900mAh Li-Ions at 1500mA discharge can lead to apocalyptic...

    "1C" max discharge rate is affected by the number of batteries in series?

    Hi to all, Recently I wondered if I could use 2 Tenergy RCR 3.0V with a Thrunite xml drop-in. Tested with surefire primaries and a multimeter, the drop-in absorbs 1.5Amps at max setting. The RCR are 900mAh (I can expect a little less). So my question is: the 1C max discharge rule is intended...

    Fire-on-a-stick Review - A Layman's Perspective

    is it intrinsically safe? Can be used in an extremely flammable environment? Do you have output-time graphs for different fuels? I think that different tints can be achieved with different fuels!

    How things have changed.

    same as me: my first real EDC was the Solitaire in this kit everyday at my belt. Now I still have a Victorinox (a newer one) in my pocket and my EDC is a Kroma. I remember those not-alogen bulb flashlights, powered by 2 C cells (even before alkalines) with a sliding side switch and with a...

    Surefire Has "EU" Website up (UK/Spain/Germany/Etc.)

    there's a lot of lights missing, even leds. No Kroma or U2. Are the ones missing in their way to be shifted off?

    does Li-Ion self discharge?

    Hi to all, I've recently bought 6 Li-Ion RCR123 from batteryjunction (3.0V Tenergy). I plan to use 2 of them in my Kroma, but I dont have plans for the other 4. There's a risk of overdischarge (or triggering overdischarge protection circuit) if I dont use them? Thanks!
