Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

Mr. Bulk,

I know this has probablly been answered somewhere in these massive threads, but are the light going to have serial numbers?

Also, can we add one more battery to our existing order?

I can't wait to get this little booger!!!

Thanks,

Matt

Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

After reading most of this thread with very tired eyes, i'm still not sure I know how to put myself on the order list for the rechargeable, anodized and branded Lion Heart, officially. Also, if i read the lux output numbers correctly, does this light put out about 4-6 times the lux as an unmodded surefire L4?

Is this the place to put in the order for a LH without the PILA and charger? And how much?

Sorry but the 78 pages got too intimidating and i chickened out......
 
Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

Matt USAF, yes the HA3's will be serialized. To order anything additional simply PayPal for it and explain in the text that it should be hooked up with your original order (as long as you used the Same PayPal account).

BVH, I answered this question in the other thread.

Neg2, don't feel bad, this light is not being sold to minors... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Kevin, simply PayPal me for the item(s) you wish to get. But please BE SURE to specify in the PP text exactly what it is you are ordering (light alone, which finish, etc.).

Thanks all.
 
Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

Anyone know if it is okay to leave cells on the Pila charger for long periods of time / does it go into a low trickle charge mode?

I was thinking maybe I should bump myself up to 3 cells if we can order that many. With one battery in the light at all times the charger would be better utilized if it always had 2 in it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

Ha Ha Ha Mr B....

Radiant: yup, its fine, the Pila's have overcharge/overdischarge protection

Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

What is the "shelf life" of a charged pila cell. I mean until it would loose say 30% of its power. Also what is the amount of recharges they will take.

Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

UPDATE 10-2-04:

The Pilas are on their way to me. Everything else short of the bodies is all in place (boards, UCL lenses, silver particle-impregnated electrical conduction grease, tailcap Belleville springs, split-tube stakes, 27.5mm reflectors, T-binned Luxeon 3s, Ceramique, wiring, etc.) - just waiting on the dang Fast Track (and the subsequent HA3 Natural) bodies...*SIGH*...

I think Charlie's next project should be a 5W Lion Heart w/ 168A! What do you say?

I think it's best to let Charlie come up with the next step in his cutting edge progress towards Mr Fusion™ himself /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

All I know is, whatever it is, I'm on the list for at least one! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif
 
Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

Hello Javafool,

At 2% per month self discharge, at the end of one year you would be at 80%. It takes about 19 months to get down to 70%.

The discharge rate applies to the remaining charge left in the battery.

For example:

Start at 100%
After one month you have 0.98 (2% loss) X 100 = 98% left.
The second month you have 0.98 X 98 = 96.04%.
The third month you have 0.98 X 96.04 = 94.12%, and so on.

Re: New \"Straight Pin\" - Test Mule

You are correct Tom but I live in Florida so we only get down to 20°C in the winter time. We only cool to about 25°C and after Francis and again after Jeanne it was much warmer that that. So I figured the discharge rate would be somewhat accelerated.

No matter what flimsy excuse I admit to above, I really was thinking up-side-down when I suggested a year /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
