    Calling All Coleman Exponent 4AA Cree Lantern Owners! Maybe A Problem?

    I've now had mine for about 10 weeks now with the same alkaline AAs that came with it. Still going strong. No apparent discharge. I do keep it closed when not in use so maybe the switch is completely shut off when closed?

    Calling All Coleman Exponent 4AA Cree Lantern Owners! Maybe A Problem?

    I've had mine for about 4 weeks now. The original Duracell alkalines are still in it and they are still going strong. I haven't yet installed NiMHs in it. The discharge problem doesn't appear to be universal since some of us aren't experiencing the drained batteries. I really like the form...

    Calling All Coleman Exponent 4AA Cree Lantern Owners! Maybe A Problem?

    Anyone know how much power the switch draws when turned off? Or how long it takes to drain the batteries just from the switch draw in the off position? I bought my lantern last month and installed the alkalines in it immediately. I've played with it on a few occasions and store it completely...

    Coleman 4AA Exponent® Pack-Away®

    What a great idea! Thanks for posting it. This is a great solution to the artifacts and to evenly diffuse the light! I also tried a white plastic Walmart bag... it too diffuses the light and eliminates the artifacts.

    Tenergy vs Eneloop (AA and AAA) 30 day self-discharge

    Before finding battery and charger information on this site I read a fair amount on the All-Battery.com forum. When reading posts on their forum I've wondered the same thing. Users of their regular 2500mAh NiMHs have complained that they don't approach their stated capacity. And that their...

    Lifespan & Use of NiMH LSDs?

    UnknownVT/Vincent, Thanks for taking the time to answer each of my questions... your advice is much appreciated. Sounds like LSDs are the way-to-go for most of my typical applications. Others have brought up several other applications for battery use that I have not thought about. I guess I...

    Newbie Question: Nuwai X3 (3W Luxeon LED 2xAA)?

    Picked up new Duracell Mobile Charger

    I've used this charger to "top off" two new 4 packs of Duracell LSDs. It took roughy 20 minutes to do so. Each red LED becomes green independently as the charge is complete. It will also charge any combo of AA or AAA. I have also used it to charge my iPod and my Palm PDA via the USB port using...
