    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    Just received a Convoy L21B 5K from Simon via the not-so-slow boat from Chyna. Unfortunately, the 21700 cells to feed it haven't shipped out yet. Can't wait to try out the King of Budget Throwers!

    Are Batterypacks.com or IMRBatteries.com Reputable Sellers?

    Well, I placed an order with Batterypacks.com for two of the Samsung 50E 21700's for my beautiful new Convoy L21B SFT40 5000K Thrower that I just received from Simon yesterday. I asked before I ordered if the cells were genuine Samsung and they replied, "We only provide original cells, not...

    Are Batterypacks.com or IMRBatteries.com Reputable Sellers?

    Just noticed something weird - both sites offer a free battery case with a purchase of two cells. When I click on the link @ batterypacks.com, it opens on the IMRBatteries.com site.???

    Are Batterypacks.com or IMRBatteries.com Reputable Sellers?

    Both are offering Samsung 50E 21700 5000mAh 9.8A Batteries for way less than other Sellers which leads me to think the cells may not be genuine Samsung. Tried searching the forums here but turned up nothing. Anyone know whether these two Companies are legit or scammers?

    New Product Announcement: NITECORE NEW P30 Long Range Hunting Flashlight

    Found some info on a Miboxer C4-12 Upgrade charger that will charge cells up to 76mm or so in length. I'm still not enthused about having to buy another charger just to accommodate this longer cell so may just go with a Catapult V6 26650 cell thrower instead.

    New Product Announcement: NITECORE NEW P30 Long Range Hunting Flashlight

    Thank you for pointing this out. My Xtar VP2 chargers will only accept cells with a maximum length of 71.2mm so will not be able to charge this Nitecore cell. I'm considering purchasing a couple of these new P30's but am bummed to have to also purchase different chargers just to be able to...

    Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2019 Received my 8-pack of 2000mah AA Eneloops from Walmart and they are indeed marked Made in Japan.

    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2019 Well, I didn't need any AAA's or another charger and needed a minimum of 8 AA's so I'm happy for $18.99. The back of the packaging shown on WM.com said made in Japan - will post back when I actually receive them as to if that holds true...

    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2019 You sure they're re-branded Eneloops? The 2000mah AA Eneloops I ordered thru Walmart this afternoon say they will hold a 70% charge up to 10 years and can be recharged up to 2100 times. Those Energizers say holds charge for only one year.

    Streamlight 88074 ProTac 5-X Multi-Fuel TEN-TAP - BF Deal Live for $59.98

    This is the four CR123A version outputting 2500 lumens on High - pop in two 18650's = 3500 lumens. Per reviews here, flat-top cells require magnet spacers to be used. I have a Convoy L6 already but this won't be quite the handful and hopefully should throw much farther...

    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2019 So, in speaking to Costco Corporate, it appears Eneloops are no longer being sold at any Costcos in the US. I need a 8-pack of AA's for a few Roku Ultras I'm going to be buying from Walmart on Black Friday for $48. I can get a 8-pack of standard...
