    D cell run test: datiLED 3v Volt Vamp on a 10 year old D cell

    @sbslider, when you added the foil did the lumens drop? One of my pet peeves with any of the volt vamps was it was way too bright. I was hoping it was going to be a very low output like the PakLights 9v light.

    Using Up CR123 Batteries

    Is DatiLED still making these battery drainers? I stopped looking years ago for 3v versions. I misplaced the 1.5v versions I had, and would want at least one of them as well as a 3v version.

    Amazon Basics AA/AAA Alkaline Batteries

    Have Amazon discontinued the old white wrapper LSD cells that were equivalent to the 2nd gen Eneloops? I want the ones that can be charged 1500 or 2100 times, not the Eneloop Pro or XX that only allow 500 charge cycles.

    ThruNite C2 3400 mAh Compact Protable Charger

    I received mine yesterday and it is pretty nice as you get 4 different levels of power indication. Red is under 3.0v, flashing purple is 3.0v-3.65v, flashing blue is 3.65v-4.2v and solid blue is 4.2v. My question is what does the button do on the front of the unit where the USB cables plug in...

    Duracell Rechargeable long Life Ion Core same as Eneloop XX?

    Thanks I'm still trying to reason what the upcharge for XX cells are for when you get 1/3 of the lifespan with only 400 recharges.

    Duracell Rechargeable long Life Ion Core same as Eneloop XX?

    I read a thread on slick deals about these batteries and I'll have to find the thread again. Anyhow someone mentioned these are rebranded Eneloop XX cells. It says only 400 recharges on the packaging while the Eneloop XXs mention 500 recharges. What I am still wondering if it is worth the...

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    Well based on price I think I'd stay with GB but just not sure if their Priority Direct Mail / America Direct Express (3-7 days) includes the tracking info. I know the Flat Rate doesn't unless you pay extra separately. When I read their shipping rates it doesn't say untrackable so should I...

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    Well I just got my refund from Paypal for the order from Gear Best. Now that I am starting over again from scratch, I can't see how to order one from GB that will guarantee a tracking number this time so I can cover my tracks. All I see available is the same "free shipping" I had last time...

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    Yeah, I'm done screwing around with GB and just contacted Paypal and they should get my money refunded. I just have to wait 10 days now.

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    Well the back and forth messages between myself and GearBest have come to a puzzling conclusion. They responded today saying I can get 50% of the cost refunded. I paid in full 100% and never received the charger I ordered on 9/17/15 so now I have to settle for only getting 50% refunded to me...

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    I tried opening a ticket a week ago but they said it was shipped unregistered China Post so there is no tracking. I may be screwed, but I saw others on here opted for free shipping from Gear Best and still received their orders so I figured it was safe.

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    Still waiting for my order from Gear Best. Ordered 9/17 and today is 10/18. I know the Gear Best shipping "estimate" says 18-25 BUSINESS days, so by the end of this next week will be the high side of that estimate. Has anyone from the US had to wait over a month for this before or am I the first?

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    I've read the Opus charger shipping from GearBest takes up to 20 days. I ordered on September 17th so I guess I'm still within the range. But I saw people mentioning it was shipping from The Netherlands, but my order had a picture of a package shipping from China via China Post. Does GearBest...

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    Re: When does fan start? yeah thanks for the effort on the N cell thing. I saw a review maybe the beginning of this thread, but the space is 32mm and an N cell is 30.xx mm so too short, so I will need a spacer or some sort of adapter.

    Test/Review of Charger Opus BT-C3100 V2.1

    Re: When does fan start? Never knew this charger was even available. Sounds great. It kind of looks like a direct copy of the infamous firestarter Lacrosse BC-900 but yet I haven't read anything mentioning the similarities which is odd as it looks like an exact copy especially the LCD...

    Where can I find rechargeable N-cell 1.5v batteries?

    Did some searching and found the thread where you were looking for an adapter. Looks like you got one from someone right here on CPF. The other website that listed as having adapters is most likely no longer in business as that was a link from 2011 or 2012. Hope the CPF member you ordered...

    Where can I find rechargeable N-cell 1.5v batteries?

    How will an Ncell fit in a AA adapter as an N cell is thicker and much shorter than a AAA which is designed to fit in one of those adapters.

    Where can I find rechargeable N-cell 1.5v batteries?

    Thanks Archimedes! Now trying to find a suitable charger. Will the Xtar NiMH chargers that have the retractable spring work for N-cells or will I still need some sort of spacer?
