Looking for Battery info 101

[SAcharlie]

Hello
New guy here looking around. This is a very interesting place. Sure shines a light (ha_ha) and exposes the very broad realm of flashlights.

I dove right in looking at the various LED lights, for the want of something small. This was fun reading about and seeing pics of the various models. Might a better approach be taken with a good understanding of the different battery types used by these size lights?

I looked for a sticky or guide on batteries here but came up short. Can someone point out a guide, here or a link to a site, where a comparesion and substitution between these batteries is explained?

Thank You

Welcome to CPF, SAcharlie.

You posted this in the wrong sub-forum. I'll move this to the Batteries section, where you will find the information you are looking for.

Check out the CPF welcome mat. All kinds of great info in there, including battery stuff. Also have a look at Battery University. That should get you started.

I recommend the Battery University as the starting point.

Hey thanks guys. I sure missed the sticky looking right at me. I'll sure check out the links. Always thought myself a Texan but maybe I should move to Missouri as often as I ask folks to "show me".
