    Tutorial: Laptop Battery Pack 18650 Extraction

    Re: Thank You Members - 18650 Laptop Battery hack - WARNING - picture heavy Have at it. I found my packs on the FleaBay. New replacements are a good investment. "Battery pack PULLS" are somewhat of a gamble. I've been fortunate on my first "PULL"... 5 out of 6 good cells. Be safe, Keith

    calculating how many hours it SHOULD take for a battery to finish charging?

    "Wow!" I'm glad I found this thread. With the purchase of three (3) torches, two (2) independent double-battery sets (18650s)... one of which included a charger and the harvesting of eleven (11) 18650s from laptop batteries, I went to work charging all the cells. Here's what I found... the...

    Ultrafire WF-501B or WF-502B?

    Mike - the C8 is in-transit from HK... and I'm expecting it to be delivered today - Monday. The letter carrier hasn't showed up yet. Therefore, it could be today or tomorrow - Tuesday. Now, you've given me food for thought... switching roles for the 502B and the C8. "Hmmm-m-m... Good call...

    Ultrafire WF-501B or WF-502B?

    Hello all. This is my 2nd post overall. I'm still the FNG I guess. Anyway, a lumen-infected mosquito bit me a few months ago and I caught 'lumen..nesia' (on a low budget) and picked up the Ultrafire Triplet - 501B, 502B and C8. The 501B and 502B are running 1000 lumen CREE XM-L T6s and the C8...
