    The Official Malkoff Junkie thread - Part 2

    4min 30sec was the total run time for the vid. 36C is warm to the touch - not hot at least to me.

    The Official Malkoff Junkie thread - Part 2

    Gave it a shot. Leveled off around 36C so I cut the video there.

    The Official Malkoff Junkie thread - Part 2

    When it started leveling off around 32C I stopped the video as really that's not very warm what so ever. The 6P really does a good job of getting heat away from the head and holding the light would likely pre-warm it and mask or minimize any real changes that the FLIR would pick up. I can give...

    charging lifepo4 batteries.

    Nope - the smoke you see is the LG Chem cell (white) they crushed first. If you fast forward to the 0:55 second mark where they crush not one but two A123 system cells (yellow) - they do nothing... I can't quite tell but that looks like another LG cell to be honest (I could very well be wrong...

    The SureFire P2X-B "Fury" 500lu flashlight thread

    Oh I am not worried about the cells venting or it going boom. I just don't want the cells to loose capacity if it is overtaxing them as they are already fairly low mah. Also since they go to 6.6v witch is higher then the 6.4v Fury is expecting I don't want to risk smoking the driver in it. I...

    The SureFire P2X-B "Fury" 500lu flashlight thread

    Np! I thought the same thing as well but if you check the specs (http://www.batteryjunction.com/2rc375reliba.html) they are only 750mah and "Maximum discharging rate: < 550 mA" is listed. I normally trust LiFePO4 with fairly high currents (this just being a bit over 2C discharge rate) but since...

    charging lifepo4 batteries.

    I did a google search like you said VegasF6 - all I got was links on how when crushed or abused A123 System cells do nothing (not even smoke). But when they are shorted - they do cause fires because what ever shorts them gets so hot it ignites. Like with all the Prius/Volt and other EV fires in...

    The SureFire P2X-B "Fury" 500lu flashlight thread

    I got my Fury last night. Wow... I like. Some quick tests: Two included Surefire CR123A's pulls 1.5A @ the tail on high - really bight :) One (older) AW 17670 pulls 1.5A @ the tail on high - still really bright but if you look at the numbers there is no way it can be as bright as two...

    charging lifepo4 batteries.

    Valid point there - I have only seen spec sheets for the a123's system's cells. If that's the case even a smaller hobby charger with power supply would suit these just fine then. A 15A-20A supply (for a bit of leeway) and something like my 106B could speed up his charging and do all 3 of his...

    charging lifepo4 batteries.

    I charge my home made 2s LiFePO4 Airsoft packs using a iCharger 106B (http://www.jun-si.com/EnProductShow.asp?ID=89) powered by a RC hobby power supply. Slow charging is suggested to be 1.5A and fast charging at 5A from the a123 systems specifications sheet for my 18650 cells. (so fast charge is...

    Malkoff in a G2LED?

    I am using a UCL from www.flashlightlens.com on my G2L with a m60 in it. I have had no major issues with it so far. You don't really need to replace the whole window though as others have stated - it's just a film that you can remove to make it clear. I may add though - I needed to boil the...

    Replacing a Freeplay Plus battery pack

    I may have a different view on what action you should take here. Last time I checked the charging requirements for NiCd and NiMH differ. If the radio's charging circuit is made for NiCd cells (witch at 650mAh in the AA form factor they most likely are) and you put NiMH (LSD or other wise) in...

    Surefire G2L (very confused)!

    I posted about this a while back over here : G2L coming with a defuser built in now? I just ended up replacing the window with a UCL and put in a M60 just this week. Not quite sure what I should do with the smooth P60L.
