The cells are in!!! The cells are in!!!

Mike at CBP just emailed me and let me know that he has the cells.

Jim will be handling this part of the build and so getting the cells from Oregon to Jim will take a few days, but then we should see some progress!!

I want to thank everyone for their patience!

Im sure if you threw a block of tungsten at something you could kill it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Good news for sure. I'm kinda dissapointed in myself for not buying one of these.

yes to both!

Jim will do an initial voltage test before he builds the packs, then will slow charge each pack, then will discharge the pack and check it during each step.

I might need some volunteers to allow us to use their new Tritons for this step, since Jim can build packs faster than 1 daily and the check/charge/discharge/charge step for each pack takes awhile.

Anybody want to volunteer?

I think what Bill is asking is if your NIB Triton can be removed from its box and "tested" also. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif You would get the benefit of a tested charger as well as tested pack, and it will speed-up js's pack-building process. It also means you will be getting a slightly-used charger. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have 2 standard chargers (not the Triton) if you want to use them. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks Guys!!

TVODRD has it right, they will be gently used and set up appropriately for the USL when Jim uses them to condition the packs.

The Polaris is a great light and due to the battery holder, somewhat more easily used than the USL which has specific charging instructions!

There MAY be few special issue USL's after the original run.
