    【New Product】XTAR VC4L Charger

    Mine arrived two days ago, and I must say, to not have a choice in what amperage to charge cells is disappointing. My AA Eneloops tend to have better longevity when charged at 700mA, and my previous charger - a AccuPower IQ-328 - let me choose what charging current, between 200, 500, 700, and...

    Compatibility of Fenix 18650 batteries with Olight S2R Baton II magnetic charging?

    Well, the title says it all. I have a Olight S2R Baton II that has magnetic charging, and I would love to use some higher capacity Fenix batteries in it. I wish I had known the magnetic charging might cause an issue using other batteries before I bought it, but it is what it is (I'm looking at...

    Getting back into rechargeables -- advice needed

    I don't need the low self-discharge, per se, but the high number of recharge cycles, which seem to be best with the eneloops. I would not be surprised if I am charging some every few days, especially the ones in the controllers since they seem to chew through batteries. I suppose I could buy 4...

    Getting back into rechargeables -- advice needed

    After having a poor experience with Energizer NiMH batteries a few years ago (2450mAh ones), I gave up on using rechargeables. After reading more here, I've figured out that I basically killed them with the rapid chargers that they came with. Now, the wife and I have more kids (7 boys) with...

    Polishing Knife Opening Guts

    Your best bet is to disassemble the knife, polish any metal washers, clean them off and reassemble them. Sticking a polish into a pivot is a bad idea. I have polished the washers in my Benchmade Rift using Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish with a microfiber cloth (an old, used up Tuf-Cloth)...

    Benchmade Griptilian springs breaking, #4 and counting

    PM sent This. I have owned Axis lock knives since 1999 and never had one break. One of them I owned for 11 years and never had a spring replaced. If you have a habit of flicking the knife open/close repeatedly just for the heck of it to keep your hands busy (the way some folks twirl...

    p60 sized led drop-in's

    Any idea on runtime and regulation? I take it that it will work in a 9P? Edit: so, um, yeah. Reading is fundamental, isn't it?:ohgeez: Now that I know it works in a 9P, any idea on regulation and runtime?

    Benchmade griptilian thread!!!

    To each their own. Each size is designed for a particular task, so just because it doesn't fit for your tasks doesn't make it worse or inferior. It just doesn't fit what you need. I carry my mini-Grip at work to avoid scaring the sheeple, and I polished parts to make it look more like a...

    Benchmade griptilian thread!!!

    Well, I posted pics of mine in another thread, so I don't want to use up too much bandwidth. Here are some clickable thumbnails of them, though...

    Looking for a new folder, probably a Benchmade - Need Help

    Yet another plug for the mini-Griptilian. It has almost replaced my mini-AFCK (lefty version) as my edc knife: I polished the clip and the screws using my Dremel and the polishing wheel with some polishing compound. I managed to do the screws without disassembling the knife, so my warranty...

    Duracell jackpot!!

    I can't believe I missed your post! The dimensions are standard CR123a dimensions, as I plan on shrink wrapping each one individually. If I get a wild hair to, I might use a 223 cell and make some 2X123a packs , a-la Titanium 2-battery stacks, for my Surefire G2, Inova T2, and my Cabela's 6P...

    Duracell jackpot!!

    They come pre-matched, as you can tell from the pic above. After I shrink-wrap them, I will be storing them in pairs. If I need a battery for my Lumapower M3, I'll just grab one. If I need some for my Surefire G2, I'll grab a complete pair, leaving any singles alone.

    Duracell jackpot!!

    They come from the driver for the Silverhawk atherectomy catheter. It is used to treat Peripheral Arterial/Vascular Disease (PAD or PVD for short) that can cause reduced blood flow to the legs, resulting in cramping, tiredness, weakness, and pain in the legs. It is a major cause of diabetic...
