    Rechargeable Lithium Battery Long Term Viability

    Hmm, I've left batteries stored in my car (both in cases and in lights) year round (-30 to +30 C). Lights always work when I go to use them. Maybe not ideal storage, but it's too much of a hassle to bring them in an out each time as I need to have my gear always available.

    Flip up or Adjustable direction light?

    Hey Guys, Looking for a niche product. I want a light I can clip on that can direct a smallish amount of light down for writing on a notepad. Headlamp doesn't really work well because I don't want to keep blinding the person I'm talking to as I look up and down. Red filter or separate LED is...

    How snug is too snug? (TK22 w 3400 mAh 18650)

    Hey Guys, Havn't been here in a while, but I just picked up a Fenix TK22, and trying 18650s for the first time. Bought a Tenigy 2600mAh that fits fine in the light. However, I also picked up 2 KeepPower 3400mAh cells. They fit, but have to be pushed gently in. To remove, I have to "whip" the...

    First battery blowout

    Ah yes, I forgot to state the brand and type of battery. It was a primary CR123, Titanium brand battery. I believe I got them from Battery Junction. Orange colour cells. As for age, they were pretty old. 3 or 4 years? Will have to find a replacement rubber cap as I got this light used.

    First battery blowout

    I was playing with my Fenix P2D last night. I knew the battery was low. Anyways, I ended up standing on its tail and got distracted with something else. Next thing I know, I hear a bang and it's lying on its side. Was confused how it falling over could make that loud a sound. Took a closer...

    P60 sized led drop-ins (part 3)

    Nope, just the single mode (SKU 11836) from DX. Guessing now it's heatsinking more to to the body (well, as much as 2 layers of aluminum foil will help), it'll warm up faster. Not a big deal for now, but maybe I'll pick up a multimode down the road. Thanks

    P60 sized led drop-ins (part 3)

    I did a 2 layer wrap around the brass pill and it seems to have solved my contact issue. Now, any issues with it it being there? Any chance of it melting or screwing up my 6P. The light does get pretty warm with my drop in.

    P60 sized led drop-ins (part 3)

    I'm having some issues with my DX SKU: 11836. The switch sometimes doesn't want to turn on the light. I have to give it a whack to get it to connect. It's the way the LA sits in my 6P. I tried it with a single coil of the outer spring, and it'll switch on everytime, but with it on, I can't...

    AW's LiFePO4 clones?

    Hi, I'm just wondering if there are other batteries that look like AW's lifepo4 123a batteries. I got one with the blue wrap (mine does look darker though), and the same text style, that came with my P2D. I have no reason to doubt the seller, but I never asked where the battery was from. Part...

    will this charger work with LiFePO4?

    Is this the right one for LiFePO4? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.998 Debating between the Ultrafire and this one. Really only need 1 bay. Is the WF-138 a good buy? I heard the 139 overcharges. Issues with the 138?

    Which would you use and why?

    I was also looking into the charger that supawabb. Looks like the same charger, but different batteries included. What LiFePO4 charger and betteries would you guys recommend? Are 3.0V DX ones good enough? Or the Tenergy ones better (both for charger and batteries)?

    H3 P5900

    I guess I'll just go that route. Shipping charge for me would be $15 one way from Canada. I'm not planning to diving with it or anything.

    H3 P5900

    So now that I haven't, can I just get it resealed by any repair shop? It's not some proprietary system right? It's out of warranty anyways (been almost 4 years now). On top of that, there isn't any authorized dealer here in Canada, so I'd have to ship it down to the States, and then back up...

    H3 P5900

    Question about Trasers. I have the P6500. Worked well, but battery died. Got it changed today, but the guy asked if I wanted it water resistance tested. He said that when the changed the battery, they broke the seal. True, or was he just trying get me to test it to make sure? If they changed...

    Thermo flasks?

    Slight sidetrack here, but does anyone know of a good place to get the Thermos Nissan JMW-500 Backpack Bottle for someone in Canada. There's an Ebay seller, but she'll only ship to Canada. Sweet maria's has it too, but minimum order of $40. Shipping is about $17. Anyone in Canada want to split...

    Camelbak - taste issues?

    Thinking of trying the activated carbon route. Have you been able to find it at the drug store? I was looking into it, and the BRITA filter uses activated carbon, as does aquarium filters, which are both easy to find. The aquarium filter is cheaper, but I'm not sure if there's anything else...
