    Amps vs. C - What's the Dif?

    Bringing a dead Li-Ion to life

    A number of laptops that I've used actually have a tool that lets you dictate the charge level you will top out at. I used to run my laptop charged to 75%. Also, they recommend that if you will store a battery that won't get much use, keep it at 50% charge and tuck it in a cool place. It kinda...

    Tripped PCB on AW 18650 - how to fix?

    The not so ghetto method: I bought a few magnets from DX that I can stick both batteries to. Plus you can then stick that to a metal surface so it doesn't move. Then bridge the other two ends with something like a wire. I was careful and bridged it using my multimeter on the 10A setting, so I...

    Denting a RCR123

    So I've been using a Tenergy LiFePo4 RCR123 in my G2l with a M60 for a while now. Works pretty well. I took out the cells to charge, and I pop one in the charger. Hmm.. thats funny. Is it facing the wrong way? No. Did the cell shrink? I didn't think so. But then I looked at the back end of one...

    US-based supplier as an alternative to DX?

    I'm looking for some goodies in order to build this light that I have in mind. Right now it consists of drivers and LEDs off of DX. However, I would like them to get here sooner and I bet with an order this big, something will get messed up. Is there another supplier that has a stronger and...

    Lithium Batt. Explosion = Safety Meeting Topic at Work

    Whew. I was expecting to walk in here and see a story of how a venting happened and all Surefires and CR123s would now be banned from the work place. Happens all to often now a days.
