    Zebralight H51C first impressions

    What about the Fenix HL20? I seem to see that one skipped a lot and spec wise it seems the best of the aa headlamps AND it's damn near half the price of the hc51. It has a 4 lumen low for over 2 days, and to me a more useable medium at 48 for 5.5 hours. Couple spare battery, good to go. I've had...

    Help with a Schulze 10-36.12 charger! Already not liking it.

    Ya know I just remembered, this same 4200 pack, when I tried charging this a few days ago at 3.5A I think, it said it charged 4300mah. :duh2:

    It just finished a .5C charge and took 3.44Ah. Heat was between 100-130F. So should I just try discharging/charging a few more times? Also if the capacity doesn't go up any, is it still ok to use? I mean, it still says it took almost 3500mah. I really don't have any clue as the the past life of...

    So I did the 16 hour ~1/10C charge then let it cool for a few hours. Oh and the temps were between 90-120F. Then I did a 2A discharge and it only discharge 3.17mah. What do I do now? Does that mean the pack it trash? 6cell 4200mah.

    Been charging my 6 cell 4200 pack now for 12 hours at 400ma. It's pretty warm. 90-92F on one end of each cell and 110-112F on opposite end of each cell. Is it supposed to get that warm at such a low charge? How high is to high at a low charge?

    Sounds good. That's what I set it for. I kinda understand the "set and forget". Whenever I'm charging anything, I figured it's a good idea to check on it every so often, depending on the charging time. I try to check every 15 minutes to hour or so, depending on how close I am or what I'm doing...

    Well, I can't charge at exactly 1/10C so should I go a little over? And when charging the batts should I tell the charger the rated capacity or 10-30% more?? The schulze manual says like 30% more but I don't know. For example my 6 cell 4200 pack. For the refresh charge, should I set charge...

    Hum. Yeah, I feel dumber now. I didn't think 0.5 was a high rate. Hum....I guess I should have realized individual cell information is a basic....

    I'll start the 0.1C charge in the morning. I just charged one that seemed to charge fine yesterday, but even at about 0.5C charge parts of the pack were over 140F. Is that normal? I thought it should be cooler.
