I came here looking for a decent flashlight on the recommendation from another forum, and I did get one that I am very happy with. But for some very strange reason, the section I read the most is this battery section!
Since coming here, I've only bought three lights (only one niche one) - a quark mini AA, lowes black friday 3D Mag and taskforce.
On the other hand, I can't stop buying batteries. I bought AW 14500's, 40 Energizer Ultimate Lithiums, 16 AA Eneloops, 8 AAA eneloops, and tons of random alkaline primaries. I even bought a Pila IBC, Maha C9000, Sanyo MQN06U. I bought Deal Extreme portable battery holders, and a tacklebox for storing them in my room. I have dedicated storage bins in my car, bedroom, and office.
I find the science behind each different type of chemistry fascinating, and have spent hours learning all about them. At first, I tricked myself into thinking that "I was just doing it to be prepared in case of emergency", but I'm pretty sure that I passed that point when I started buying Ultimate Lithiums in bulk. Finally, I told myself that I was going to stop, but I caught myself browsing the AW battery thread, lusting after 18650's even though I have no 18650 lights
What's wrong with me?
