    XM-L2 T6 flashlight battery issues and advices

    Personally I would not trust a no brand cheap Chinese charger. You don"t know if it terminates charge or not, what voltage or ma it is really charging at etc (unless you test it as the specs often are untrue). You can get a Liitokala Lii-100 for around 4 Euro"s on the big Chinese selling sites...

    Lidl red Tronic battery test

    I don"t expect to get 950mah from the cells so I am not going to bother chasing ma"s. If capacity rises slightly with futue charges so be it. I will just use the cells as 862-883mah for cells that cost 75p each is ok in my book. The AA"s seem like a very good buy IMO at the same 75p for a nearly...

    Lidl red Tronic battery test

    2nd capacity test using a Lii-500 on "NOR" test, 300ma charge & discharge 862 874 883 871 Average capacity 873 so slightly higher than the first test, about 92% of manufactures claimed mah.

    Lidl red Tronic battery test

    Ok I have just popped 4 AAA"s back into a Lii-500 on "NOR" test, at 300ma charge & discharge. I will see what capacity I get this time ?

    Lidl red Tronic battery test

    AAA"s Lii-500 854 838 847 868 C9000 840 851 865 838 Lii-500 tested cells average mah = 852 C9000 tested cells average mah = 846 All the AAA"s were discharged at 500 ma. So not the same result as the AA"s, which all tested above the claimed capacity, with these AAA"s giving about 90% of claimed...

    Lidl red Tronic battery test

    Ah I see so the cells I have bought are not the the "red" Tronic ones. I hadn"read this thread, i just saw Tronic re-chargeable cells cheap in my local Lidl, knew there had been mention of them on here & decided to try some. So the 2300mah "eco" cell is an old cell then. Do members normally get...

    Lidl red Tronic battery test

    Well the results are in ! Lii-500 2393 2400 2408 2378 2402 2396 2380 2408 MAHA C9000 2384 2381 2362 2396 The above are all 500ma discharge rates. So all 12 cells tested over the claimed 2300mah. Very consistent results with the 8 cells in the Lii-500"s averaging at 2396mah & all within 30ma of...

    Lidl red Tronic battery test

    Not that I saw John. They had AAA & AA (4 packs), C & D (twin packs) & 9v cells. BTW the cells say Tronic ENERGY eco, AA"s are 2300mah & the AAA"s are 950mah. These are the cells [/IMG] [/IMG] Are these the "red" Tronic cells or a different cell ? I have 4 x AA"s in my MAHA C9000 & 8 x AA"s in...

    Lidl red Tronic battery test

    Today I picked up a dozen of the Tronic AA 2300mah cells & 8 of the Tronic AAA 950mah cells for £2.99 or about $3.60 per pack of 4. I am going to pop them on a few of my analysing chargers & see what the capacities are

    thorfire 26650, 5000 mah

    I have had 3 of these cells for about a year now. Tested at over 5000mah each cell when I first got them. Still working great.

    Re: FENIX AND OPUS:UNIFICATION, DEDICATION AND EDIFICATION!!! With my 3 x Lii-500"s cells checked the second they come off the charger show 4.21 then settle to 4.20v My Xtar S2 Rocket also shows cells immediately after charge at 4.21 then settling to 4.20v, this charger can charge at 2A unlike...

    Re: FENIX AND OPUS:UNIFICATION, DEDICATION AND EDIFICATION!!! Hi Capolini my remark about "molly coddling" wasn"t aimed at you rather that there are often threads about how to get the most cycles from a cell & only charging to a certain voltage & only charging to a certain voltage. As good...

    Re: FENIX AND OPUS:UNIFICATION, DEDICATION AND EDIFICATION!!! Good quality 18650"s are $4-$5. Charge them fully, use them, then recharge them fully, using a decent charger. I even keep some fully charged as spares in case they are needed. So what if I don"t get the absolute maximum number of...

    charging 26650

    Re: cherging 26650 As Chris has said 1A is fine for 26650"s it will just take a while. If for example the 26650 is fully drained & is say a 5000mah cell then charging it back up fully with 1A will take around 5 hours. If you charge at 2A, which is still perfectly fine for a 26650 then it will...
