    Ganzo FH922 D2 Does 700

    Recently I ordered a 80 grit White Wheel for my wet stone grinder . This is just a ordinary 250mm Grinder Wheel being re purposed ! Anyway , grinding knives with a 60 grit wheel has returned some very promising results ( especially on softer steels ) The Ganzo how ever is not soft , my 65HRC...

    1977 Laminated Frosts Mora

    1977 Laminated Frosts Mora ( Cuts Rope ) I have wanted to see the results of such a test for the longest time . And to think , I had to be the one to do it ! I found the handle / grip to roll quite a bit . And for precise cutting , it was tricky . So not a big fan of the handle . The laminated...

    Your usages of rechargeable 1.2V Ni-MH or 1.5V Li-ion AA/AAA batteries?

    1915mAh . This was the result of a 0.2A discharge . How long 1900mAh lasts (?) would depend on current draw .

    Enlan EL-02B Test

    A bit of History ! A long time ago ( decade or more ) I started buying Cheap Chinese Knives . One of those brands was Enlan . And a lot of people used to crow about this brand and how good it was ! Ok , it looks good , it feels good , it's bolted together good , ........... Butt ! It just lacked...

    ? Eeeer ! I ran Pentax .... iSTD / K100 / K200 / Kx All of which used AA batteries .. I tried Alkaline / NIMH / and Alkaline Camera Batteries .. NIMH was the worst .. ( Shortest run time ) , then came stock Alkaline and the best were the Camera Alkaline . I still have 2x Pentax iSTD cameras...

    Your usages of rechargeable 1.2V Ni-MH or 1.5V Li-ion AA/AAA batteries?

    Digital Cameras ! Thats where these batteries might work really well ! Back in the day , early days of digital cameras . They were powered by AA . And one of the big issues at the time was Voltage levels .. NIMH simply could not maintain the needed voltage levels . So the cameras always...

    Xtar BC8 Review ( AA/AAA NIMH - Li-ion Charger )

    For review I have the Xtar BC8 AA / AAA NIMH & for their proprietary AA / AAA Li-ion battery technology . ( Sent to me by Xtar ) This charger is not a Li-ion charger and you should not attempt to use it as such ! It is designed to recharge NIMH batteries and Xtars own Li-ion AA batteries . If...

    Xtar BC8 AA / AAA ( Li-ion charger )

    BC8 Charger charging a AA Li-ion from Xtar .. Charger starts at 4.2v 0.5A on the depleted battery .. And then the voltage climbs to 4.8 volts and then the current begins to drop and the voltage peaks at some 5 volts .

    Xtar BC8 AA / AAA ( Li-ion charger )

    A) This charger is NOT suitable for recharging li-ion Let me explain .. The charge current for the li-ion AA from Xtar starts @ 4.2v 0.5A and the voltage slowly climbs higher .. This would make it unsuitable for charging Li-ion or Lipo batteries . Oh , and I discharged that AA li-ion @...

    Where are we ... Had some really warm weather .. So just waiting for cooler days . ( Summer ) The charger works well with AA and AAA batteries ( NIMH ) , I have had no issues with the termination voltage and the always good part is that the NIMH are not being cooked by the charger ( getting...

    Your usages of rechargeable 1.2V Ni-MH or 1.5V Li-ion AA/AAA batteries?

    Ok , had a bit of warm weather ! Things are cooler but silly humid ! First AA was discharged at 0.1A for just over 10 hours on my hobby charger . Voltage varied from around 1.43v to as low as 1.22 volts during the 10+ hour discharge .. 2nd battery just hit the discharge cycle : Will be...

    Your usages of rechargeable 1.2V Ni-MH or 1.5V Li-ion AA/AAA batteries?

    Assume nothing ! My charger was calibrated quite a few years ago . What we can assume is that there is VOLTAGE sag under load . How that voltage sag affects performance ? Chargers usually stop discharging @ 0.8v for NIMH , butt .............. These Li-ion are different .. So when I...

    Your usages of rechargeable 1.2V Ni-MH or 1.5V Li-ion AA/AAA batteries?

    It's what's claimed on the Label .. I have discharged both batteries ( I got 2 ) and will be recharging them when some NIMH I am putting through the BC8 charger are done . I plan to discharge in two different chargers over next few days to get some numbers . Doing paper math is well and good ....
