Using Li-ion cells in LED flashlights safely
Hmmm..... you learn as long as you live :-) I just bought them from BJ because they seemed to be high capacity... The Legion II definitivly deserves good batteries so I'll look into the AW's, and order some. Thank you all! -t- foo.spam

Using Li-ion cells in LED flashlights safely
wrt protection, what kind of protection is common in such batteries? - overvoltage? - undervoltage? - charge current? - discharge current? - temperature? Just before the light turned off (with 1 of 3 batteries at 0V) the light gave off 2 fast blinks every 6 or 7 seconds for s minute. Could...- foo.spam

Recommendation for new flashlight?
I've been looking around and it is also my impression that there aren't that many 4D-ish alternatives...

Recommendation for new flashlight?
Hi, I have a Maglite 4D LED today. What I like about it is it's tough, reliable and somewhat water resistant. It is however not very modern or efficient. I wonder if anybody here has recommendations for a "replacement": - preferably 3 or 4 D cell (standard/alkaline), not "hard-to-get" Li-*...- foo.spam
