    Tutorial: Laptop Battery Pack 18650 Extraction

    fallingshad0wz, what brand was the laptop? was the battery pack the original one that came with the Branded laptop or an aftermarket 3rd party pack? If your battery pack was the original one from a branded laptop, it's a safer bet than aftermarket 3rd party battery packs -- especially those...

    Rewrapping a battery

    Just stumbled upon this very helpful post. I dropped a 14500 battery from waist high a month ago and the tight manufacturer black wrapping split/tore at the positive terminal side of the battery. :( It was a little annoying as I had just purchased this high quality Panasonic cell. I used a...

    Mostly Eneloop in Maha Discharge, Capacity & Health Questions

    Bolster, .1C of a 500 mah battery is 50 ma, and thus doesn't sound too bad. But .1C of a 2500 mah battery is 250 ma. That, IMO, is pretty high. If the XX came with 1500 mah already stored in the battery, I wouldn't want to add another 4000 mah to them at 250 ma. :-) Just being as gentle on them...

    Inconsistency between C9000 and BC700 capacity measurements

    It seems to me his spreadsheet is actually quite useful. You just happened to interpret the data in a certain way. His data clearly shows all data--it's not hiding anything. The data allows one to compare one cell against another on all 4 chargers. I think the proper way to use his data is to...

    Mostly Eneloop in Maha Discharge, Capacity & Health Questions

    This is a good tip--one I don't see in the Maha manual. I very recently purchased a 4-pack of Sanyo XX batteries. When I got them and was going to do a break-in, it occurred to me that I probably should not directly start a break-in as the XXs most likely had at least 1000 mah in them and...

    LetThereBeLite Recycko Thread

    There's a gazillion threads on eneloops and less than 10 threads--mostly old--on Recykos. As I've purchased some Recykos, I'm going to offer some more data set for those in the future interested in purchasing Recykos. :wave: Hopefully I'll keep updating this thread as I charge and recharge my...

    Slight delay when powering on JetBeam Jet-1 Pro V3.0 -- Normal or defective?

    I just got a JetBeam Jet-1 Pro V3.0. When I power it on, there seems to be a slight delay of half a second or less before the light actually comes on. This delay does not exist with my Fenix LD10 or Klarus ST10. They both power on instantaneously. Is this slight delay normal on the JetBeam...

    MAHA C9000 Not completely discharging?

    Hi. I just got a C9000 to accompany my LC BC9009. I wanted to break-in some some new batteries but first I wanted to fully discharge them before I started the break-in process on the C9000. But it seems the discharge function did NOT fully discharge the two AA batteries. Is this normal...

    Klarus ST10 XP-G R5 AA LED Flashlight

    Just made my first expensive--at least expensive relative to my past flashlight purchases--LED flashlight purchase: Klarus ST10. Anyone have a Klarus flashlight? I'd like to read some comments/discussion regarding the Klarus ST10/20 flashlights. These lights are pretty new and there's no...

    Energizer Recharge 2300mAh AA - New?

    I thought the squarish pin heads were a hallmark characteristic of eneloops. If there are other batteries made by Sanyo that use these squarish heads, then I guess these Energizers may not be eneloops.

    problem with 3aaa?

    Yes, I get the mah. 2500mah AA is about the same as 3 x 850mah AAA cells in terms of total watts hours. But I'm not understanding why the 3.6-4.5 volts don't translate into much brighter light output. Does the 3AAA cell light not use the full 3.6-4.5 volts?

    problem with 3aaa?

    This has been said repeatedly in this thread, but 1AA is 1.2v-1.5v and 3AAA is 3.6v-4.5v, no? Isn't the light output much brighter with 3AAA as compared to 1AA?

    Energizer Recharge 2300mAh AA - New?

    BG, can you take a look at your Energizer 2300 and tell me if the pin head is perfectly round or somewhat squarish like the Eneloops. The ones I saw at walmart had the squarish head just like the eneloops. I have never seen non-eneloops batteries with squarish heads.
