    Best single cell battery bank charger?

    I was looking at the nitecore F1 but was wondering if there were any better ones? I was hoping for something sealed like the ThruNite C2 but seeing as I am limited to ebay that is out. (I have ebay bucks to burn) Max price of ~$20

    Looking for a Nitecore E*11 18650 tube

    Just an FYI to anybody who stumbles over this in the future. The thorfire c8s body works with the EA11 head however the EA11 body does not work with the thorfire head. the threads are slightly different. For me it is no issue. I was only trying to put them together for storage.

    Looking for a Nitecore E*11 18650 tube

    Is there a difference in a convoy c8 and a thorfire c8? I found http://www.banggood.com/NEW-Version-Convoy-C8-DIY-LED-Flashlight-Shell-Host-118650-p-985101.html?rmmds=category and it looked promising.

    Looking for a Nitecore E*11 18650 tube

    Thanks for the reply. The EA11 and EC11 heads are exactly the same except etching. Now to see if anybody has a broken ec21.

    Looking for a Nitecore E*11 18650 tube

    Well found my light after having lost it for 6 months or so. So I am back on this route again. 3500mAh sounds much better than 650mAh.

    <$20 USB charger for 70mm 18650 cells

    On the subject of cases. Mark one side of the case and teach them to put charged batteries positive side towards the marking and dead cells with negative towards the marking. Simple idea but makes a world of difference when trying to recall which battery is already used.

    Sold/Expired WTT Nitecore EC4S

    I have an essentially brand new Nitecore EC4S. I pulled it out of the packaging and tested it out but did not care for the throw on it. (I was unsure if I would like it or not when I got it and it ended up I did not.) This has never been anywhere other than the packaging or my hand. I am...

    Mysterious AAAA explosion

    Get friendly with a local church or some other place that uses wireless mics on a regular basis. Most will pull the 9 volt batteries when they are only half used. I could lay my hands on a couple hundred 9 volt batteries if I wanted to.

    Making a battery bank from a walmart vivitar bank. Ok idea?

    I picked up https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ICFPAJU/?tag=cpf0b6-20 from my local walmart for $3.50. As far as I can tell the batteries are no name 1500 Mah 18650 cells. I was thinking of 3d printing a case for some 3500Mah 18650s I have and putting that circuit in there. Not to charge the batteries...

    Looking at the leatherman surge. Any other brands have good alternatives?

    I have ran a gerber MP600 for years but have misplaced it recently so I need a new one. A coworker has the Leatherman Surge which looks nice and fixes my only issue with leatherman in the past. (Old school leathermans had a nasty habit of cutting into your skin when using the pliers.) It also...

    The Lounge 2016

    Re: The Lounge An alternative assuming vinh accepts checks is using the bill pay feature of your bank. Mine at least will send out a check for free. (Not a cashiers check so if he does accept it he should wait for it to clear if he does not trust the buyer.) Sadly my budget has never allowed me...

    See. Lithium batteries are safe to damage. :P
