    Converting GPS to Li-Ions?

    Yes, every time I put it on:sick2:. Unfortunately lighter options usually means less light and or less runtime. I don’t want to give up either. We hunt in very remote areas where there is little chance of outside contact should things go bad. That’s why I have backups for my critical equipment...

    Will rifle recoil damage a decent light like Fenix or 4Sevens?

    Icecube, You've got this arse backwards. Recoil velocity and recoil energy go hand in hand and are kind of redundant. Recoil velocity increases as recoil energy increases. Most folks just skip the velocity and go with ft. lbs. of recoil energy. It’s a function of bullet weight vs velocity and...

    Lithium ion mostly used over AAA/AA/C/D??

    400THz, You pretty well nailed it. The average CPF member is far more advanced in battery usage than the average consumer. We are actually a very small niche market. I don't expect the big boys to cater to my wants any time soon.

    Lithium ion mostly used over AAA/AA/C/D??

    In another thread I listed all of the batteries that I carry in my hunting pack. They are all AA. For me it’s very important to have common batteries for all devices. The camera, GPS and radios are the biggest battery hogs. Once my spare are used up I just rob the batteries out of my back-up...

    Lithium ion mostly used over AAA/AA/C/D??

    My old 4*AA Canon PowerShot camera finally died last year. Lately I’ve been borrowing my Daughters newer reduced size 2*AA PowerShot and that stupid thing burns up a set of batteries in one day. I hate it!!!:mad:

    Lithium ion mostly used over AAA/AA/C/D??

    I would like to see “Flex Fuel" devices. For a few bucks in added components they could easily detect and switch from Alkaline to LiIon chemistry.

    Sterilized Flashy Rant

    Well I have to admit that I’ve located hunting partners from over a mile away by flashing but I never needed a flashy mode to do it.

    Sterilized Flashy Rant

    My thread making fun of the flashy modes got closed before things got fun so I’ll try again with a sterilized (boring) version. I have nothing against the folks that play with flashy modes, pay princely sums for McShiny’s or lust for the latest greatest Solar Flare. Admittedly, I wouldn’t mind...

    Will rifle recoil damage a decent light like Fenix or 4Sevens?

    It’s all about controlling battery movement. If you can keep them from beating back and forth; the light will likely survive. To prevent injury, race car drivers pull the belts as tight as possible to hold them against a hard seat. The physics inside of a flashlight is no different. I would...

    Converting GPS to Li-Ions?

    Well now that you did the math for me, Some good NiMH's would be just as good or better without the work. Truthfully I need to replace my old GPS with a newer model that doesn't burn up a set of batteries in one day. I've been giving some thought to changing the chemistry in all of my gear. my...

    Converting GPS to Li-Ions?

    I’ve been toying with the idea of converting an older GPS to Li-Ion 14500’s It’s an older Magellan that holds three double A’s I would like to leave it on all day while out hiking and hunting but it will burn up a set of batteries in less than 8hrs. I would need to re-wire the battery...

    Flashy mode rant

    Ok so my cleverly disguised Ninja rant was quickly exposed. I just get so sick of the Oh Boy, Oh Boy what did you shine your flashlight at today posts that I wanna puke:ooo:. Yep, it’s going downhill fast. Pinky and the Brain should be over in about 20 minutes. I expect my first defense of...

    Lithium ion mostly used over AAA/AA/C/D??

    The American consumer is heavily entrenched in the D, C, AA, AAA, 1.5V format. Even the smallest anywhere USA podunk town will have alkaline’s in all sizes. Not so with Li-ions or NiMh. Most people can’t be bothered with charging batteries unless it’s a phone or laptop. Just toss another dozen...

    "New" Maglite C switch removal

    Re: \"New\" Maglite C switch removal If your T8 Torx shaft is too thick to fit through the switch's hole; try a T7 Torx. My T7 fit through the hole and was still big enough to grip and break loose all of the switches that I've tried so far. What the heck??? why can't I edit out the double...
