    Recommendations please for flashlights that can use 1.5 volt aaa lithium rechargeables.

    Li ion batteries usually charge to 4.15-4.2V, then with use they then come down to their nominal working voltage of 3.6-3.7V

    How do you think of charge to 4V or 80% capacity?

    I use a UP100ac+ and you can adjust the level of amps charging or draining and set the cutoff min. If you tell it to charge to store, it will be 3.65v and turnoff.

    Battery Brands

    I'd never even heard of them, and I mess with 18650's all the time. Went to their site. They are a protected cell, probably why I hadn't heard of them. We use unprotected cells. I guess they're all right. I don't like that they do not list the cells CDR. So important. They look good, pricey as...
