    Portable 18650 Solar Charging Options - Beginner Verifying before buying

    Hi Chris, Thanks for the info... Good point re the 12v same as car. I went with 18v because it was a laptop charger, and I didn't think it would make a difference since I'd be using the USB socket instead (which I'm assuming is not 18v, but 5v) :) I thought it may be handy to have 18v for...

    Portable 18650 Solar Charging Options - Beginner Verifying before buying

    Hi, I am looking at setting up a solar charger for batteries. Keeping in mind I have zero experience with solar chargers and are relatively new to lithium batteries as well... Searches refer to a Cottonpicker charger, but I can't seem to find an online shop that sells them. I have however...

    Led Lenser P7 / T7 Alternative using 18650

    Nice - I didn't even knew that this existed - made by the same company. Thanks! Unfortunately though it's a bit out of the price range I was looking at. (Appears to be around $130USD).

    Led Lenser P7 / T7 Alternative using 18650

    Hi, Checklist copied and filled in further down, but in short - I love my Led Lenser P7. Right size. Focusable beam and decent brightness (although you can never go wrong with more ey). Only issue is that I would prefer something that runs off 18650 than AAA's. Thank you: 1) How would you...

    18650 Battery - Unused / Rarely used lights best practise

    Hi All, What a weath of information! Thanks very much for your replies! 80% capacity should be more than enough for my needs. Backup torches don't need to be bright, and thankfully it appears as though the drivers in the lights cut down on usage power, so after 3hrs I've still got some form...

    18650 Battery - Unused / Rarely used lights best practise

    OK, my question may raise a few curious responses, so I'll give a short version for those who have an answer and don't need to know the reasons why, and a longer version for those who are intrigued. :) Short Version: I have 3 lights that all use the same battery type (18650). Only one of...

    Looking for Single 18650 dive light host

    + 1 for the Brinyte DIV08. I've recently acquired one of these myself - and the last two weekends that I've been cave diving I haven't even taken my heavy bulky 10W HID canister with me. I've been very happy with this light so far. FWIW I've had no experience with the HiMax X5. Others seem to be...
