    DRB-9VHP and 12VHP won't work w/prot 123s

    I just posted in another thread that I am temporarily retracting my claim in The Rechargeable Battery Compatibility Chart that the DigiLight DRB-9VHP 9V lamp assembly will light with one click when driven by two (2) LightHound protected 3.7V RCR123A 750mAh rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Too...

    P&G G90 vs Wolf-eye 9v bulb?

    That someone that our good friend Paul is referring to is me. I have indeed posted numerous times that the DRB-9VHP 9V lamp assembly that I bought directly from DigiLight USA lights with only one click when driven by two protected RCR123A 3.7V 750mAh rechargeable Li-ion batteries that I bought...

    Don't use magnets with li-ion cells! Dead-short danger!

    This has been a fascinating thread to follow. I like to think of myself as a cautious, responsible person. I always educate myself on the proper and safe use of any new devices or tools before using them. I've spent a considerable amount of time on CPF and on the Internet in general reading...

    Protected 18650 Rechargeable Battery Question

    NoFair's observation/recommendation about stretching the contact springs on lamp assemblies or tailcaps makes too much sense. I tried this myself and it really works - thanks for the tip NoFair! I checked all of my rechargeable Li-ion batteries and discovered that none of them are truly flat...

    CPF member pbs357 has documented success powering a "new" Wolf-Eyes D26 9V lamp assembly with two (2) LightHound-sourced RCR123a protected 3.7V batteries. I personally run a DigiLight DRB-9VHP 9V lamp assembly (175 lumens claimed by the manufacturer) with two (2) LightHound RCR123a protected...

    DSD Smart Charger Question - Does this happen to you?

    I've owned a DSD Smart Charger and a small collection of rechargeable Li-ion batteries for almost two months now. Those of you who own and are familiar with this particular charger know that it has a single indicator LED that changes color from red to green when the installed batteries are...

    Understood. Again, according to CPF'ers experiences as documented in The Rechargeable Battery Compatibility Chart two (2) protected 123-series rechargeables in a 6V flashlight body will not light a P90's lamp with one click. Two Pila's in a 9V body will work however. After a quick scan of...

    Protected 18650 Rechargeable Battery Question

    We have a green light! Thirteen hours to fully charge a brand new pair of protected 18650 Li-ion batteries with a DSD Smart Charger.

    Protected 18650 Rechargeable Battery Question

    Thanks for your input everyone. I guess that I'll just have to be more patient with my new rechargeables. By the way seattlite, I double-checked my email exchanges with LightHound and they verify that the DSD is indeed a smart charger. It is safe to use with both protected and unprotected...

    Protected 123 questions

    No, the SureFire P90's current requirements exceed that of any RCR123a batterys' protection circuits at this time. It has been reported that the SF P90 will light with one click when powered by a pair of protected 17500 batteries. Some have reported success using the P90 with Wolf-Eyes...

    Protected 18650 Rechargeable Battery Question

    Yesterday I received my most recent package from LightHound (another Cheers! post is pending - thanks John!). In it were two protected 18650 2200mAh Li-ion rechargeable batteries - the wide body variety that many of us have been experimenting with. These are my first 18XXX series batteries...

    Announcing the flashlight/rechargeable battery compatibility chart.

    Did someone accidentally delete the text in The Rechargeable Battery Compatibility Chart's "discussion" tab? I had started a thread suggesting that we create a "Flashlight Components Compatibility Chart" based on the battery compatibility Wiki table. In the discussion page, I had mentioned...
