    How do I test a 18650 battery?

    The old laptop only holds charge for 20mins or so. I carefully tried to pry apart the battery pack, and that was a disaster. All the plastic cracked and fell apart in small bits, could not believe it. Anyway I have charged up all six individual batteries using my Nitecore i2 Intellicharge...

    Redilast 3100mAh 3.7v 18650 0 volts?

    No I have not put it back in the charger as yet, I wanted to see if it was safe to do that first. It is out in the backyard just in case it gets angry, rather it out there than in here. I will put it back in the charger to see what happens.

    Zebralight PID runtimes at rated lumens?

    Can someone explain to me about PID and lumen output runtimes. Take a zebralight, H1 1038 Lm (PID, approx 2 hr) Does this mean that it will put out 1038 for around about 2hrs? Will the light output diminish at all? I thought I read that the H1 level will still dim, bit by bit. Is this...

    Help me choose a headlamp for up close work and medium distance work conditions.

    There have been many times where having a light strapped to my forehead would have made life so much easier. I need to get one, but what...

    Want a HID spotlight. Build, buy or what?

    Okay, so what are the better preferred ballast HID kits then? Also what about bulb type? H3 or H4. H4 has is length ways, same as the bulb, but the H3 is at 90 deg. to the length of it. I read that because of this the H4 is better for a spot beam???
