    Charge Tray for 18650s

    I think something in this layout would be more appropriate: Maybe I'll have to make something if I don't want it to be 90% plastic. Jon

    Charge Tray for 18650s

    Hey guys, Im tired of jiffy-rigging my batteries to charge them with my hobby charger. Is there a tray out there that I can use to hook up my charger straight to the batteries? Possibly something with a balance plug? Or am I going to have to make one and post a tutorial... Jon

    Romisen RC-C8 II

    I don't have any other lights to compare to except 4D Mags both LED and incandescent. The flood is very wide... wider actually with the lens than without. There are a few circles in the beam, but not NEARLY as bad as a Mag. I might get the RC-29 for my GF, and my best friend might get one as...

    Romisen RC-C8 II

    I ordered the glass lens as well as an orange o-ring pack and orange switch cover to go with the orange bezel theme. I found if you put the o-ring behind the plastic lens, instead of between the lens and bezel, the beam projects a perfectly clear image of the LED. You can count the rows and...

    Best under $50- thrower/flood for 18650s

    Yeah, I ordered some blue trustfires. I have other uses that are less space restrictive (allow for a proper low-voltage cutoff system) to use the cells in.

    LiPo (lithium polymer) possible?

    The square cells really don't fit in a round tube... if you can find a size that fits the capacity of voltage will be so much lower... I think I want to try and roll a lipo cell. Just to see what happens... Here's an ultra thin LiPo being bent: Cells as thin as .5mm are available, and are...

    Trustfire 18650 'blue' 2.5Ah Maximum Charge Rate

    Okay, thanks. I figured it wasn't going to be more than 1c. Ive got some OLD laptop cells (18650 size) that im trying to use... Ill charge at .1A to bring em back to life and see what the highest rate I can get is without the cells getting hot (I'll set the temp cutoff at 115* to be safe). Jon

    LiPo (lithium polymer) possible?

    First of all, I appologize for bringing up this old thread. I felt continuing on this would be better than starting a new thread. LiPos have become a great deal less expensive and have vastly increased in charge and discharge rates in recent years. There are LiPos now capably of 1.5C and 2C...

    Trustfire 18650 'blue' 2.5Ah Maximum Charge Rate

    I was wondering what the maximum charge rate for Li-ion cells is. Is it safe to plug along at a 1C or greater charge rate? Do brand new cells need to be cycled to develop their full capacity similar to NiMh and NiCd cells? Sorry for posting this without doing a ton of searching, but I...

    Best under $50- thrower/flood for 18650s

    The c8 + one protected 18650(incase the laptop cells don't work out)=$33 shipped. That leaves lots of room in the budget for..... Adjustments. :D

    Romisen RC-C8 II

    I just ordered a C8 ShiningBeam edition... When it gets here I will do a full teardown and take pictures with my girlfriend's Nikon D40x (decent DSLR). I won't have any other light to compare to other than a Mag 4D regular bulb that's about 14 years old (my Dads) and a Mag 3D LED (moms). I...

    Does anybody else want to run a C8 on two 18650s?

    Best under $50- thrower/flood for 18650s

    Bryan from Shiningbeam thinks that the C8 driver can handle two 18650s, he thinks it has (or should have) the same driver as the F4, but hes not certain. Hopefully someone will be able to find an extension tube that fits... Does anybody else want to run two 18650s in the C8? Jon

    Romisen RC-C8 II

    Vasp1; Do you happen to have a Romisen light that uses 2 or more 18650s (Like a T6)? If you do, would you mind trying to see if the extension tube fits on the C8? Jon
