    Members' experience by brand with leaking alkaline cells.

    Back in the day, there was a store called Sears. They marketed the “Diehard” brand of batteries. Dorcy sells them now but I have no experience with them.

    Members' experience by brand with leaking alkaline cells.

    I have seen all three of the majors leak like a screen door on a submarine. My observations from the past 40 years are that the diehard brand are the only ones that I have never seen leak.

    RCR123 that doesn't suck?

    I have used Efest 16340s for a bunch of years in my 4Sevens mini turbo thrower. Have not had any issues with them. They seem to have very low self discharge.

    MagLite ML50LX battery recommendation

    I’m fascinated to read that the ML 125 battery stick will not power a 3C to full potential but three alkalines will. What am I missing?

    Test/review of VariCore 32700 LiFePO4 6500mAh (Gray)

    I am wondering if these batteries will make a connection if I use three in series inside of a flash light? Or, do I need to solder a button top on each one?

    D-cell Alkalines... no longer worth it? Obsolete vs. other batteries?

    Costco had some Duracell D cells on sale today for $1.08 each. I bought the 14 pack because I like to have some for back up. Currently I’m using the Amazon basic rechargeable D cells. 10 amp. I don’t know who makes them but they are much better than any of the Tenergy’s that I have had and...

    Moving into the 21700 relm but they don’t fit any of my chargers. Any recommendations for a quality charger? I like to charge my batteries gently hoping they will last longer.
