    Charging EagleTac 18650 cell

    Hi guys, I just ordered an EagleTac D25LC2 and an EagleTac 3100mah 18650 cell to use with it. I'm wondering if my ancient Li-Ion charger will be ok to charge this battery? It's a Pila IBC charger that I've had for quite a few years. Charging current is stated as 600ma per channel. One last...

    Polarion PH-40 battery disassembly?

    Cool. So any problems with just buying 8 of these and soldering them together? I've never soldered Li-ions before, are they more/less heat sensitive than nimh?

    Polarion PH-40 battery disassembly?

    Thanks to everyone who's provided info so far. Perhaps I'm just being naive, but the mod doesn't seem too hard at all. Since I haven't paid much attention to rechargeable li-ion cells lately, what's the highest capacity un-protected cell that's made by one of the large manufacturers? It seems...

    Polarion PH-40 battery disassembly?

    I thought so, and I was wanting to get one for a few other projects anyway. Can anyone recommend a good one?

    Polarion PH-40 battery disassembly?

    Hi guys, I have a PH-40 that I bought about 4 years ago. Anyway, the battery seems to be slowly dying now and I found some other people on CPF saying that it is not too hard to open up and replace the 8x18650 li-ions inside. But I've so far been unable to find any photos or instructions...

    Makita 18V LXT batteries....

    I have a few Makita 18V LXT Li-Ion cordless power tools. Recently, one of my battery packs wouldn't take a charge using the default charger. Since the battery is out of warranty anyway, I plan to take the battery apart to have a look when I get the time. Does anyone here know what type of...

    An Electronics question...

    I will be sure to check that the power supply I get is regulated and has adjustable polarity. Thank you all!

    An Electronics question...

    This is a question I've been wanting to ask for some time. I have a powered USB hub that requires an input of 5V @ 3A. The original power supply has stopped working and I'm trying to find an aftermarket replacement. Now obviously, I will need to find one which outputs 5V, but if I get one...

    Best online store to buy a Garmin GPS?

    I'm looking for a Garmin 60CSx GPS receiver. I know a lot of U.S. online stores sell it for under $300 now. There is a catch though, I'm from Hong Kong and shipping normally costs an arm and a leg. Does anyone know of more reasonable retailers? Thanks.

    PT Apex reflector options?

    I ordered an IMS 20mm smooth reflector and an SSC P4 to mod my Apex with. Does anyone know how this combo works out and how it compares with the Khatod smooth reflector which seems to be the most widely used reflector for modding this light.

    Question about the PT Apex's 5mm flood LEDs

    Hi there, I've got a camping trip coming up and thought I'd invest in a new headlamp. The PT Apex running on 4xAA batteries seems to be a good choice. I plan to do the mod to replace the stock high power LED with an SSC P4. As for the four flood LEDs, I've read reports of terribly blueish...

    Is the Polarion PH-40 regulated?

    btw, is the Polarion approved for continuous running? ie: can I finish running one pack and just pop a fresh pack in and just keep the light going indefinitely (until the lamp burns out).

    Is the Polarion PH-40 regulated?

    Want to ask a quick question as per the topic. Or does the light dim as the battery is depleted? Thanks.

    The Beast, What are they worth? and do people buy them?

    I have never played with a Beast 2, but it would appear from comparisons and beamshots on CPF that lights such as the Polarion PH-40 is brighter AND cost less money. Of course if you are a die-hard Surefire fan, or just have money to burn, then go for the Beast, or get both as they say!
