    should i open it?

    Interestingly that's right close what i payed for this one with shipping. And they are still ~$100 for the latest model. Crazy how inflation hasn't made any difference there.

    should i open it?

    So Maglite says this one was made on 8/25/1988 (note serial 3181375). I have that other police surplus MC that was manufactured on 10/7/1988, its serial is 3191995. Either they made 10,000 of them in 42 days, or serial numbers are non-sequential.

    should i open it?

    Amazingly, the battery reads 0.95v! :huh: I think I'll leave it as is, for nostalgiac purposes. It obviously has never even started its useful life, and it would be nice to keep it that way. This is impessive to me, i got shipped a used battery that came at 0.0v. I charged and cycled it and...

    should i open it?

    (More pics in previous post, if you're only looking at new posts ^^^) The one manufactured in 1988 has a serial # that starts with 3191, so this one was probably made in early 87. I'll contact Mag to find out for sure, but I do irritate them quite a lot asking odd questions.:devil: Sorry...

    should i open it?

    I opened it! Everything looks ok...little bit of styrofoam stuck to charger cords. Dusty metal crap on battery + ? Dunno what to think about that. Pics soon as i finish resizing them. Google Analytics seems to make PhotoBucket pretty slow. Here's a few got some more coming. Dusty...

    should i open it?

    I KNOW RIGHT!!!! I bought it for the sheer sake of having it. Had to have it the second i saw it. In the auction photo it looked like the seal was broken...was going to stuff 12xAA in it for a hotwire...but now i don't know if it's worth it! VERY curious about the battery! If it could even...

    Titanium Innovations battery carriers

    Update: These do not handle high current well at all. Contact ends get hot. I imagine replacing the (steel?) caps with copper would make a difference. Screw these things, i'm building my own from now on.

    your experiences for ThruNite

    Love my Ti3 and TN12. Only complaint is the lanyard holes on TN12 make using the tail switch a little cumbersome.

    found a great deal but need help setting it up

    Right on. Might have to pick one up on the future. Pretty sure my 6s2p AA pack is gonna work out though. Finally got the measurements perfect and just needed to cut a few spacers and add contacts. Look for it in a new thread when I'm done. Kind of a hybrid oddmod/old lumens/FM styles.

    Can the adjustment pots be lined up with the slot in FM's 6.35 socket? :confused:

    is nitecore d4 acceptable for CPB Elite 2000 cells?

    Is this a stupid question or something? I have searched and searched and i understand that best performance would be with better charger, but my question is: Is it worth obtaining these batteries, without a charger that is capable of discharging and analyzing them? I don't want to create a...
