    How long is it taking you guys to charge AW 18350 cells?

    i have another question, i see C/5 used as reference, is that 1/5 of C? i thought C5 was 5 times C...or 5C was was 5 times the capacity.

    Driver question

    i've notised some drivers dwindle the brightnes whilste otheres are exselent.. apart from that thank you.

    Driver question

    hmm, so theyre working on 'wats', are they pulsed?

    Driver question

    dose that man any 'exsess' voltage is let through to the LED so to speek, and the currents controlled.

    the final thread to it all is how much have you got to spend... from there on in it dictates what you'll buy and use. on the 'cheap n cheerful' route though.......stuff cheap batteries, they cost three times more for a single desent cell. (that or get laptop replacement packs..) if you find a...

    SF Hellfighter custom power cable? Cigarette adapter?

    side question about using cigarette lighters, isnt there resitors leading to the socket, they burn out if the current draw is too much? just a thought.

    Driver question

    reading through here, i have a question about the voltage outputs on drivers in general? some state 2v or 3v less than the battery on the output, most say nothing more than a voltage input range and 'constant current'. now i know from exsperimenting as long as the currents constant a few...

    thank you.. its sinking in with the other chaps postings. HJK.. i use a camera in similar fasion to your 'testing method' page, in particular to test my lights and drivers, over an hour your eyes adjust to light available, which in a lot of cases is dwindling, so with out distance being the...

    thats what i was thinking, i've had one exsploid in a cheepo charger and one battery cage melt down due to a single water droplet shorting on the battery and a wire..seriously a problem isnt it lol.

    How long is it taking you guys to charge AW 18350 cells?

    ahh i see, i've been doing something similar with my B6 charger (if i get it right), i watch the current flow indicator bit to see how long it takes for 1mah to pass, at about 5-6 seconds per milliamp i'm thinkiking ffffffffffff take it off lol, its another 2 hours on a soshine 26650 4200mah to...

    How long is it taking you guys to charge AW 18350 cells?

    doesnt seem worth the loss in charge cycles to me.. the diference between 5 hours and 4 hours.. unless of course its a 2 hour thing instead of the 5..if you see what i mean.

    4x AA NiMH in series discharge @ different rates. Why?

    batteries in series..usualy the 'header' battery takes the full voltage so releases its energy more readily than the others with less combined voltage accross them. e.g. first battery 1.2v second battery (also a 1.2v) is at 2.4v, third battery (also a 1.2v) has 3.6v running through it..as a...
