    COOLY 26650 D26 (P60) Host By FiveMega

    Hey all, just checking back in after nearly 2 years with my Cooly to report it's still working as intended and the finish is holding up very well! (i had matte grey) Only thing I'd like to know is if there will ever be a replacement tail section made that can stand on its own? It's quite...

    What batteries to use? + some random questions

    As for chargers, the ML-102 usb charger/power source is quite fantastic. I have a li-ion hobby charger and am making a charging cradle for it, but the ML-102 is just so EASY. That and I give one to my girlfriend with a battery in it and she can keep her iphone going instead of getting lost when...

    What batteries to use? + some random questions

    A quality light will cutoff when the battery voltage is too low. Others will not and will cause damage. Best to check the manual of the light or email the manufacturer.

    Cars, Man

    Yea but nose heavy, no proper alignment adjustments, iffy rear diff implementation requiring nutso rear diff mounts, little headroom in stock injectors, bendy rods, stupid throttle plate closing at high rpm... = too much work to make really really fun. I'm in the same boat, my last car was a...

    Cars, Man

    I'd take a flat trade for a loaded, stick, Mazda2 in a heartbeat. I need just a tad more space than this Mazdaspeed Miata, and just a tad better MPG. It's a win-win. And the best part, it's a Mazda, and the community is fun and there are oodles of parts since it's a Spec B car.

    1st winter using systhetic oil.

    All of those are benefits of synthetic. Manufacturing uniform molecules is MUCH better than refining them, and you have found some of the benefits.

    Laptop 18650 batteries

    Re: Toshiba laptop 18650 batteries The only way to know is to test, but don't test with those (most likely unprotected) cells.

    LEDs to become only residential light option by 2018?

    Now if f.lux ran on home lighting I'd be making the investment tomorrow.

    Sold/Expired New Cree XP-G2 P60 Replacement Modules

    Re: XP-G2 / P60 STYLE MODULES If I desire to replace the driver, what diameter does it need to be? I'm starting to think memory is more of a hassle than helper.

    LEDs to become only residential light option by 2018?

    If only dim-able were compatible with the dimmer I have (a sunUP dawn simulator) but the LED flickered like a madman when attached to it. It was the Utilitech brand bulb, great in a regular light, but it was $20, and replacing an already-purchased CFL in another lamp with this wasn't going to...

    1st winter using systhetic oil.

    Blend is < 30% synthetic Synthetic can be called synthetic if it's group III base stocks or higher even though it's just REALLY refined dino Some companies preface Synthetic with "full" even though you can still be buying a group III based oil That being said if it meets the spec API/ILSAC etc...

    1st winter using systhetic oil.

    It usually darkens faster because it cleans and encapsulates contaminants more effectively. No oil can be judged by color, but it can be analyzed by a lab for around $30, they look for viscosity, flash point, and dissolved metals/fuel/coolant. +1 Also a thing to remember, not all oils are...

    1st winter using systhetic oil.

    Just copy and paste the same thing, syn is better, except for initial cost, but it lasts longer, so it's cheaper per mile. I'm an Amsoil fan, in my now-gone 2007 Mazda6, Amsoil fluid made cold-weather shifting MUCH better, as well as less slam-shifting when getting on the gas after coasting. The...
