    Hellfire HID in JK Wrangler lens & reflector assy

    It's a Jeep thing? :) I am an off-roader (Nissan Xterra) and it's good to see more discussion about needs of other off-roaders, however that comes by. Unfortunately, most off-roading forums are more or less useless for discussion of proper/good lighting products.

    Lithium AA primarys in low drain applications - a 10 year recap (with pics)

    Or 80% in case of Advanced Lithium. 90% and 15 years is for Ultimate Lithiums

    New trend in high-beam etiquette: don't turn them off, ever.

    The part that bugs me is that flashing high beams at people does nothing. I am at about 1 for 50 with people actually dimming their lights after coming at me with high beams. For some weird reason, Hyundai Elantras of this and last generation are the most common perpetrators in Phoenix. I drive...

    Buying a YJ wrangler...what to do with the square headlights?

    Only to a certain sum which varies by state.

    The "one battery type" theory

    There is a post you can search for from a guy working in a store during severe weather and the one type of battery the store did NOT run out of was CR123. Something to consider before building up "action" plans. If anything, having many different devices being able to take many different...

    Coast HP17 3 D-Cell 500 Lumen Cree XM-L Flashlight (is this a New Led Lenser ? )

    Seems a bit ridiculous.... Still, since the UPC on packaging is the same, Fry's Electronics has these for $79.99 EDIT: So does Amazon, apparently.

    Custom UI for Fenix TK41?

    I believe that is a microcontroller for all the modes in there, so not only would you need to desolder the MCU, you would also need to reprogram it, which is a challenge in itself.

    Best bang for buck AAA Lithium primaries?

    This is definitely not one of those products. The batteries are pretty expensive to make, there is no good reason to try to sell them at cut rate prices in China and $0.80 is simply not realistic for the genuine article.

    Best bang for buck AAA Lithium primaries?

    How do you know they are real Energizer? Energizer does not manufacture those batteries in China, so you are saying you got the real deal after it traveled over the ocean... twice. Also, see comments above about true capacity.

    Why do lithium batts last 2 times longer in one device, but 5-10 longer in another?

    All your questions are basically the same and mvyrmnd got it answered. For certain high current draw applications, yes. Again, depends on current draw. Find out the current draw of your device, look at the datasheets for the batteries and see how they compare at that current draw. Again...

    Is Li-ion battery voltage always relative to its capacity?

    I think I misremembered the graph in question, it was indeed about the capacity increase, which was 5%.

    Is Li-ion battery voltage always relative to its capacity?

    I had data on that somewhere, but at that level you should be seeing ~5% decrease in cycles if I remember correctly.

    DURACELL VS ENEGERIZER

    Just wondering, are you implying that Duracell and Energizer make them elsewhere?
