    XTAR VC4 used to work but now doesn't seem to stop (keeps charging past capacity)

    Thanks for the reply. The Li-Ion ones are fairly new and I usually do deplete them before recharging. I'll keep trying.

    XTAR VC4 used to work but now doesn't seem to stop (keeps charging past capacity)

    As subj says. This used to work fine for more than 2 years, and very recently -- all of sudden -- i noticed that it showed charging past the capacity of each battery and that the batteries were very hot. First it did this for some Li-Io 18650, then I tried some NiMH standard AA and AAA and...

    NCR18650B (protected) discharged in Thrunite TN12 - revive possible?

    I have a Thrunite TN12(2016) which I like quite a lot actually. Using a Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh (protected) in it - by protected I mean it has the visible metal bar on the outside. A couple of days ago I forgot it turned on over night and found it dead. When I tried to charge it as I...

    Anyone can explain the difference between these two chargers (both XTAR VC4)?

    See my post above - if you're a Prime customer then both have free shipping and you won't see a difference. If not, free shipping is only on items above £20. One is £18.29 the other is £20.88

    Anyone can explain the difference between these two chargers (both XTAR VC4)?

    That's probably it. However, they are both fulfilled by Amazon and have free shipping in the UK at least for Amazon Prime customers - both show as free shipping in my browser. The page probably looks different to those accessing it from other countries or without Prime. Well spotted, thanks.

    Sorry, I meant these two: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UVYNRFK/ and http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UWDJ72C/

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UVYNRFK/ and (EDITED) http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UWDJ72C/ They are both XTAR VC4 and they appear identical. One says "Batteries not included" the other does not, but the reviews for both confirm that batteries are not included in either of them. They are both...

    Nitecore D4 charger died, screen continuously flashes (from Amazon, counterfeit?)

    Title says it all, purchased in March 2015, had pretty light use (once every 2-3 weeks or so) charging one 18650 and 2 NiMh AAs, mostly separately. Below is what it does now. I got it from Amazon, and it was fulfilled by Amazon, but sold by a different seller/store called "Simply Cool". Some...

    Looking for a neutral/natural white, regulated, 1x18650, 50-400lm flashlight

    You'd have to ask them. Royal Mail confirmed the parcel never entered their system, despite being scanned by Royal Mail at entry in the UK (they say it's scanned then passed to customs for clearance before entering the mail system). Customs did not send any notice of seizure. According to Royal...

    Looking for a neutral/natural white, regulated, 1x18650, 50-400lm flashlight

    Putting this here in case others were thinking of buying from Zebralight and ship internationally. Following input from you guys I ordered a Zebralight SC62w in early Nov last year from the official US store after Zebralight confirmed that shipping to the UK is free and that they have shipped...

    Looking for a neutral/natural white, regulated, 1x18650, 50-400lm flashlight

    Thanks. I'm pretty sold on the SC62w and don't intend to wait on the SC63w. I'll be using it a lot for cycling in quite variate scenery so more floody rather than throwy is better for me. I also won't be using the max setting too often (avoid blinding cyclists/pedestrians and draining the...

    Fenix PD32 Ultimate Edition (XM-L T6 NW, 1x18650, 2xCR123A) Review

    I really dislike cool white lights (be it flashlights, interior lighting, etc) myself. Isn't the tint and temp the same thing though? I have some physics background, where by light color/tint/temp I understand the superposition of all non-zero amplitude in the respective's light spectrum, under...

    Fenix PD32 Ultimate Edition (XM-L T6 NW, 1x18650, 2xCR123A) Review

    Thanks for the photo and for the info ... when you say "different", would you say an advertised 5000K varied as much as +/- 1000K or less? I would have thought the left light in your photo is a SC62w which is NW (the SC62 is CW and I'd expect it to be much cooler than that). @candle lamp...

    Zebralight online store customs duty tax @Big_Sam, I just asked Zebralight directly whether I'd have to pay any customs duty tax if I order from their online store. They just replied:

    Looking for a neutral/natural white, regulated, 1x18650, 50-400lm flashlight

    Ah, the cat and mouse chase of purchasing the latest. Luckily, I am less of an enthusiast wrt flashlights than I am with other things, so in this instance I'd be ok purchasing a good light right now. I'm gravitating towards the SC62w because of its less throwy beam since I'd be using it for...
