    4x20mm vs 3x23mm tritium vial brightness?

    I also am very interested in which is brighter. A side by side comparison would be great. there is also a large difference in price, so this would be good to know. Anyone?

    FENIX HP10 (NEW HEADLAMP !?)

    I have been using a modded PT Apex for over 2 years now and it has been great, but one of the things that I wish that it had is a bright flood for up close tasks, and it also suffers from the PT Apex case cracks. So I ordered a hp10, and where the Apex was a large spot with good flood, the HP10...

    hds runtimes. It's all over

    I have measured the current draw at all levels for my HDS U60GT. Just as a side note I have modified my HDS with a Seoul; but the current remains the same and the light output is roughly doubled. Idle-.0055ma Voltage-4.162 under load at level 20 level 20-.777 ma level...

    150 lumens+ LED flashlight

    I cant believe that nobody has mentioned a modded HDS U60, or if you can wait another month a Novatac U120. One thing that alot of flashlights lack is an ultra low and a screaming high, both of which the HDS handles nicely. Another great feature is the ability to use rechargeables and have...

    HDS U60 (w/seoul) or Fenix P2D....which would you pick?

    First of all, I own a P2D and an unmodded U60GT. After giving this question some thought, I would say the HDS. The ability to use rechargables and maintain all brightness levels and the li-ion battery protection and the programability and the lower light levels(below 10 lumens) make the HDS the...

    Duracell 2650's Complete Garbage

    I've read some great reviews for these cells. I own 4 and they are some of the best cells that I have used. P.S. Often I find that if I have not used them for a while I ned to cycle them once or twice to get back to full capacity.

    HELP - Battery voltage goes to zero w/resistence?

    put a load on the batteries and test the voltages one at a time. First one should be 1.2v, second measurement should be 2.4, etc. This should tell you where the bad connection is.

    Looking for a very good quality Li-Ion rechargeable batteries 123 and charger

    There have been many posts about this topic, do some searching. The mp rcr123 battery that I have slightly out preforms the aw rcr123 batterys, but both batteries are good. I wouldn't recomend the mp batteries for your flashlight because they are not protected. Get some protected ones and you...

    Question about charging LiIon cells

    I don't think that it is a good idea to connect 2 li-ion batteries with such different charge levels(90% 10%) in parallel, which is what will happen if you do this. The charged battery will try to charge the discharged battery and the current levels will be higher than recomended for li-ion...

    Fenix L2T VS JET-I 2xAA MK II ?

    I own the jetbeam mkII, and I really like it, but I edc a hds u60gt and just wanted the jetbeam for a AA battery powered light. I have a 14500 in my jetbeam and it is very bright but the spot is wider than my u60 so it doesn't throw as good. The jetbeam is a little brighter than the fenix but...

    LiIon break-in?

    If I am not mistaken, you have 17500 batteries and they take a spacer to charge them. The spacers don't always make good contact and that could cause undercharging of the batteries. Make sure that you clean all contact points to ensure good connections. The DSD charger stops charging at 4.28v...

    Is their a AAA nimh shootout?

    I have had very good results with Duracell AAA batteries compared to other AAA batteries, including Energizer. I would recommend the Duracell 1000mah AAA batteries at Home Depot 4 for $10.
