Bullseye gave me a tip about the "C" NiMH's for the Mighty SL-35x so I had to try it out. Got my 4.5a Cells this last Monday and been having a blast ever since. Coming fresh off the charging I am getting anywhere from 8.5 to 8.75v. I tell you what, it certainly makes a big difference in output. With 8.5 to 8.75v driving that 20w Halogen I ran the torch for 30 minutes straight and you could fry eggs of the Bezel. Thankgoodness for the UCL Lens I dropped in it months ago... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

Duke,

Be careful with that UCL. I've cracked UCLs on 20W lamps. I've even cracked one running on the SL-20X LA. However, I've never cracked a Borofloat or MagCharger mineral lens.
