As the OP I have to say this thread has revealed a whole new level of flashlight fanaticism for me. I never really considered batteries as part of the addiction.

The images remind me of opening my first box of Red Devil fireworks on the 4th of July when I was a kid. :twothumbs

Thanks!

I would'nt consider what i have a lot....im sure there are members out there with lots more then that. All the lights that are in use all have rechargeables in them and i keep the primaires for when the light goes out. I learned my lesson when the power was out for 2weeks, so the next time that happens i would like to think that im prepared for it. Remember if you can try to go all liths since they have a much longer shelf life.

I don't have many lights, so all I have are 2 protected 18650's, along with a bunch of alkaline batteries for miscellaneous electronics.
However, I keep getting more and more laptop battery packs. Some are from laptops that died, while some are just battery packs that were dead (although in most cases only one or two cells is bad). As of now, I have about 20+ unprotected 18650s lying around.

Unless I missed it, I noticed that nobody seems to have any 17500 which can be used in place of 3xCR123 in some lights such as the Streamlight TL-3

2x18650 AW (button top) 2200mAh
2x18650 blue TrustFire (flat top) 2500 mAh used mainly with TrustFire TR-801 Q5 1mode
2x17670 silver UltraFire (button top) 1800mAh used with DX.11074
2x17500 generic blue (flat) 1100mAh has only been used with TL-3
2x14500 AW (older flat top) 750mAh
2x14500 generic blue (flat) 700mAh

2xRCR123 3.0V 600mAh from AW (yes I said 3.0v as they are discontinued) and charger for them.
Mine are are about 3.76 to 3.77 hot off charger and according to AW they can be at much as 3.8 and goes down to 3.2v on load. I only have a Fenix P1 and a silver and black Dorcy Super 1 Watt used by these.

8xAA Eneloops
8x old rechargeable alkalines (used with say Minimag and NiteIze 3 led).

Maha MH-C9000
WF-139 (maybe I will replace it with a Pila IBC charger sometime in future)
DSD (with springs instead of spacers) and not used anymore due to WF-139

I originally came to CPF for info on rechargeable AA/AAA batteries and made the mistake of venturing out of the battery sub-forum and discovered flashlights again....and then SAKs and knives :ohgeez::D
