    Possible to Over Discharge NiMH

    Yeah, it works fine when I first put them in but if I let the speakers sit then eventually the batteries would be dead. There is an on/off button but I am not sure if it turns the speakers completely off. I have the Polk MiDock10 speakers. I just tried charging the AA Maha Imedion batteries...

    Possible to Over Discharge NiMH

    I have been using NiMH C cells (Accupower Evolution) and AA cells (Maha Imedion) batteries in Polk Audio ipod speakers. The speakers seem to kill the batteries even when just sitting for a couple of weeks of no use. I was wondering, is it possible to over discharge the cells to the point where...

    NiMH vs Alkaline Voltage

    I posted this same question on the Polk Audio website and no one seemed to have an answer... You guys were exactly correct!! I put a little magnet (the ones from Lighthound) on the positive side of each cell at the end and it works perfectly :thanks: Don't know what I was thinking posting on...

    NiMH vs Alkaline Voltage

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but, I have portable speakers that runs on 8 alkaline c cells but will not run on the 8 Accupower Evolution 4500mah batteries. I haven't had any problems using NiMH batteries in anything else and was wondering if the 1.2V vs 1.5V is a problem...

    Brightest and smallest 5 watter?

    I'm running a Surefire L4 with a Aleph 1x123 body. Pretty small and very bright! Not much throw though, so it depends what you need the light for.

    Sold/Expired WTB: Mini Mini HID

    Would it be possible to purchase a body that can take 3x17670 batteries and use that with my MiniHID? If not, could I use 2x17670 batteries in the MiniHID instead of 4xCR123 batteries? :)

    Mini-HID's

    Mac, This may be a stupid question, but can I use two 18650 2200mAh rechargeable batteries with the Mini-HID instead of 3rcr123 and a dummy cell? Thanks, catch228 Sorry, nevermind. I didn't notice the voltage till after I posted...

    Modding SL KeyMate w/ brighter LED?

    Lamda modified the KeyMates and sold them as Nanomates and Turbomates (dorcy reflector in place of the KeyMate reflector I think) using a 1 watt luxeon and a N-cell battery. The light is terrific for its size and runs for about 45 minutes. I think there is still one for sale in the B/S/T...

    anyone own this HID light?

    Happy New Years all!!! Just to clarify, just in case, the X990 and the Surefire Beast (pictured) are two different lights. Both are great lights with VERY different prices :D

    EDC Thrower

    I currently carry a Peak Carribean as my EDC. A LOT more throw than the lights that you mentioned. It's right at that $100 dollar amount though. Excellent build quality. So many lights, so few pockets to carry them in. :D
