    Solar Storm X2 + Xtar VP2 + Torchy 3400mah + Battery Box - First outing pictures...

    Hi Robert, its certainly enough to achieve warp factor 10 speeds on the pitch black trails lol On the low settings which is more than enough for towpaths etc the voltage drop is very small after the ride and not always worth charging it seems. The L2D does have a nice tint, the mind boggles...

    What single 18650 LED flashlight for helmet?

    Evening guys, I'm after a single 18650 LED flashlight for my helmet, main criteria is lightweight (current Fenix pulls on the helmet too much,) as many lumens as possible, and around 3 hour runtime on high. This is the only contender i've got so far, but can't find many in the UK, so some...

    XTAR VP4 - 4 Bay Lithium Ion Charger

    This makes me even happier with my recent VP2 buy, as the fact x4 bays full only giving 0.5 amps seems pointless? They need to relaunch with the proper VP4, and call this version the VP4-lite

    Which 4 bay 18650 charger - Nitecore I4 faulty :- (

    Thanks for the reply. I didn't get it to read 2.7V the lowest it shown was 3.72v, and 3.67v on the other battery. So if they read above 3v after usage that should be ok? Does it do any harm to pop them in the VP2 to check the voltage then remove if volts sufficient?

    Which 4 bay 18650 charger - Nitecore I4 faulty :- (

    Wow thanks for all the replies guys, didn't expect so many :D I ordered the VP2 before I seen the VP4 was due out :( But I was so impressed last night with the VP2 I don't think i'll have any regrets! I have four 18650 3400 unprotected cells to charge, some questions :thinking: 1. I set to...

    Which 4 bay 18650 charger - Nitecore I4 faulty :- (

    Thanks guys, how long would the vp2 and opus take to charge 2 18650? Looked at over 10 hkw reviews and they were great but left me more confused as to what i need!

    Which 4 bay 18650 charger - Nitecore I4 faulty :- (

    I've done some more reading and would it be better to charge x2 18650 3400mah in a x2 bay charger, i'm home for around 3-4 hours after work, and from my understanding i'd have to leave a 4 bay going when I sleep overnight for 8-10 hours?

    Hi guys, First post :thumbsup: I'm a mountain biker and love lighting up the trails. My Nitecore I4 is faulty and gets stuck in a flashing yellow fault loop. Checked polarity, switched the radio power around etc I've sent it back for a refund. I'm after a recomendation for a quick safe...
