    XTAR DEMA SHOW 2019

    Thank you for the pictures! I think the D06 looks cool, although I do not go diving so I would not be able to take advantage of it. PB2S also seems great and very useful, I would love to get a blue one personally.

    M2R Pro owners - what do you think

    Wonder, that makes sense - needing to keep it compatible with the weapon mounts. I have had the light for over a week now and in general, I am impressed. Still forming my full thoughts around the light so not ready to post anything resembling a review - might do that in a few days.

    List of reputable battery retailers?

    Would it be appropriate to ask for help in finding battery retailers that can ship to Republic of Ireland? I am having trouble finding anyone willing to ship here because of postal restrictions - not even UK stores! So far, I have found that Olight UK can ship here but that's all..... Any help...

    M2R Pro owners - what do you think

    That is a bummer.... I should have waited before I pulled the trigger. I'm going to enjoy the light regardless but from now on I am going to avoid them if it looks like the customised battery is inserted with the top toward the light without being a double walled light... those seem to be the...

    M2R Pro owners - what do you think

    Hi, Has anyone received their M2R Pro yet? If so, what do you think? Please post your thoughts and pictures. I ordered mine during the Halloween sale and it should be with me on Monday!

    What's your oldest working XTAR charger?

    All of my XTAR chargers are still working! My original VP2 I got in 2015 is working perfectly. I also have a VC4 from 2015 that I use regularly and it still works perfectly too. I have a VP4 Dragon Plus that I use regularly in perfect working condition :) (my go-to charger right now)

    Show your lights with trits!

    Amazing to see this thread still going; some truly awesome lights + trits here. I feel the need to get a new light with some trits...!

    Most Anti-Flashaholic thing I've ever seen.

    The ironic thing is modern flashlights make it easier than ever to bring enough light with you - with the extended runtimes and multiple modes available. There is no excuse for this!

    New Nitecore nl1835hp 18650 arrived dead out of the package

    Agreed * 100000%. I strongly endorse this. My own recommendation/opinion about the use of any charger comes from my own research, in-depth reviews posted by some kind members here, and occasionally a teardown/analysis done by myself (I am an no expert but an electronics hobbyist). Every...

    New Nitecore nl1835hp 18650 arrived dead out of the package

    Pretty much all of their chargers offer this function. Other brands also offer it, but I recommend XTAR myself due to their track record with safety. (If you would like me to recommend a specific model please let me know your requirements) 0V activation function is XTAR's marketing for being...

    New Nitecore nl1835hp 18650 arrived dead out of the package

    Agreed with Crazyeddie - stick the bad one in a charger that supports reviving protection circuit tripped batteries (all XTAR chargers for example) for about 1-2 minutes, then measure the voltage. It should then register a low voltage but above 2V. Then charge at a slow speed until full. Measure...

    How to remove stuck AW cells?

    I'm curious as to why they leaked - any idea? Did they vent?

    4RL44 6V rechargeable

    NiMH cells are manufactured in button cell sizes but the size names are completely different to those used by conventional cells. Do a google search for "LR44 NiMH" and some images come up.
