    Charging multiple 18650 cells off a RC charger

    I parallel charge up to 12 cells at a time sometimes. Different capacities also at the same time. (2600, 2900, 1800, does not matter)) No hassle with charge balance cable setups. Automatic balance in parallel charge configuration. If within .5v difference for cells, no problem parallel...

    Cheap eveready 1D? LED lights

    Re: Cheap eveready 1D? LED lights at Home Depot If you remove the spring, a C cell fits into the bottom between the vanes that holds the spring in place. I'm going to modify mine to take 2 C cells with a homemade spring assy or the original 1 D cell by putting the original spring back in...

    I run my Solarforce L2M on 1 AA cell

    I thought of modding mine also to take AA/14500 cells, but tried them anyway with the stock tube. Takes AA cells if you don't crank down the tailcap, just enough to cover the O-ring to maintain the waterproofness (is that a word?) of the host. Has about a 1/4inch gap between the tailcap and...

    I run my Solarforce L2M on 1 AA cell

    With the extender removed, 1 AA cell just fits if you do not crank the tailcap all the way down. Just enough to cover the O-ring. Sleeved with some card stock. (Don't really need it) I'm using a solarforce low voltage dropin (0.8-4.2v) and it works just fine. I even have some 2/3A nicads...

    Cheap eveready 1D? LED lights

    Re: Cheap eveready 1D? LED lights at Home Depot No pics, but inside is a small circuit board with a thru-hole resistor on one side, and on the other side is a smt cap, a smt diode and what looks like a smt mosfet stamped 002 on it. Could be a DC/DC converter, but only has 3 legs. I think it...

    Smart vs dumb charger

    I have the C801D (all I have are AA and AAA cells) and use it also in my photographic endeavours. I have 66 AA NiMh cells I cycle thru my 3 Canon DSLR's. I think it is a good charger and have never had any problems with it. Had it for about 4-5 years now. I like the slow charge feature when...

    What is a KSA-3 bulb????

    Found this in an old reflector assembly. Don't know what kind of flashlight it was from. Looks like a regular reflector from any standard flashlight. Metal with a screw in plastic sleeve plug to hold bulb. Bulb is a PR style base with straight sided globe with lens at tip. Globe diameter is...

    KPR118 Bulb Question

    I have a few of the KPR118 bulbs I want to use in a 3D Mag. Bulb is rated 7.2V @ 700ma (5watt ?) and is listed for a 6 C or D cells. 6 cells is 9V but want to use 2 LiOn's in a 3D mag. Does the 9V (6D alkaline cells) have that much sag at .7amp draw to where the 2 LiOn cells will be OK with the...

    18650s hot while charging

    Look for a Hobby Shop in your area that specializes in Radio Control. Most will have a Recycle bin for batterys.

    Trustfire TR-001 - The mighty dead cell reviver!

    TR001 is just a basic "dumb charger". No electronics to monitor cell's state. Will charge anything put into it without any thought, including your dog if you can get him to fit! Just keep an eye on the cells, just like you say you are doing. I have done this myself with a few harvested cells...
