Thanks. I'm considering getting a 2nd Siege since I have 6 D NiMh, but I think I'll just stay with one for now. If they come down in price I'll pick up another. Or maybe they'll update it but keep it using 3 D's lol :naughty:
I am sure that StarHalo can recommend a good single D radio.LOL yeah, I was thinking about what else actually uses D cells these days that I could use good quality D NiMh batteries in.
Love the "neutral white" trick!! Good great. My god how can anyone stand that cool white?!?!
Thank you again for this review!
I just read again the whole thing.
The build quality, the diffusion, the "neutral" hack...all awesome.
Wish it came in a "3x18650" version as well.
We can dream, right?
I can't comment on whether it would work electrically as I've never seen the battery compartment on one of these, but yes, I realized while posting that it is most likely too long without some mucking about.
Main issue in my mind is that three 1.2v cells need to be in series.
Three lithium-ion cells would need to be in parallel or things would go *POOF*.
Absolutely, they are in series. However, it would be much easier to cut the serial connections, and solder them back, in parallel; than it would be to make physical changes to the depth of the battery box, to accommodate the 18650, or 26650 cells, which are longer than the D cell. Hmmm... run on sentence? I think so.Yeah pretty sure the cells run in series. I don't think it turns on with just one or two cells in there.
