    Fenix E35 Tailcap removal

    Come on chaps, 100+ views and not a single reply? How do you get the tailcap off a Fenix E35? Someone, somewhere, must surely have done this. Or tried at least? Or perhaps could even look at their E35 and have a go? Thanks again

    Fenix E35 Tailcap removal

    Hi I have an old Fenix E35 (not the UE) that I'd like to use with my Enerpower 18650's but they are a really tight fit, even after removing the label. I am worried I won't be able to get the cell out, once I have pushed it in fully. Is it possible to remove the tallcap on an E35? I have...

    LaCrosse BC-700 Charger

    Thanks folks. I have since read the user manual (stupid me for not reading it thoroughly in the first place!). The BC700 will pause charging if things get too toasty, and show 000mAH whilst it is cooling off. It's a bit disappointing that it is getting too hot with only a 0.28C charge rate...

    LaCrosse BC-700 Charger

    Again, bumping an old thread... i got a BC700 2 days ago and first of all tested it with 4 x Panasonic 2450mAh Evoltas, charging at 700mA. Worked fine, with all cells reaching around 1.48v before the BC700 reported them Full. None of the cells got more than fairly warm - I wouldn't say hot -...

    I'm Confused RE: Amps vs Watts vs Volts

    How bright something goes is down to how many watts it consumes, not volts or amps. Watts is the measure of energy given out or consumed per second and this is directly related to the brightness. But watts is a function of both voltage and amps. The more amps that flow, the higher the power...

    Thrunite TN35!!!

    Re: ThruNite TN35 any good words yet? My new TN32 arrived today and its everything I thought it would be and more - very very pleased. The "and more" part is interesting. I fully expected it to be well made, solid, good quality etc with brilliant throw. It has all this. What I did not...

    My mother!

    The E35 is hardly "complex flashaholic hardware", is it? It only has 1 button on it. You turn it on by pressing and holding the button and turn it off by doing the same. My mother is a technophobe, but even she can manage that! As for being unused, it sits on her bedside table and since...

    My mother!

    Thanks for your advice guys. I read the "flashlight explosion" thread in horror and it kind of spooked me a bit. Is there any danger of running the CR123s until they are dead flat? I am tempted to tell my mum to just use the light but never change the batteries and I can do that for her when...

    My mother!

    I am very new to this flashlight lark, but find it interesting and have already bought a few lights. But here's my issue/concern: One of the lights I own is Fenix E35, a 2 x CR123 light. I really like it and the quality seems really high. I happened to be using it just before Christmas and...

    18650's - Is this safe?

    Well you've got me all worried now. I am concerned that my existing Enerdan 3400's might not have the same capacities as the new ones (when they arrive), bearing mind they are a few months older. So to be ultra safe, I have ordered 4 of the Enerdans. At least if they are all brand new, of the...

    18650's - Is this safe?

    Thanks mate - I apprectiate you taking the time to reply. Reading up a bit more about it, I can't see how you'd get close to reverse polarity on the smaller cell. It would have to be flat as a pancake for that to happen and it all likelihood it never goes below 2.7v in normal use. Now if you...

    18650's - Is this safe?

    I am getting a new Thrunite TN32 on Monday - very exciting :-) However, I don't have 3 of any 18650 batteries. I have a couple of Enerdan 18650 3400mAH's which I believe are protected Panasonics. Plus some other Xtar 2600mAH protected 18650's. I have ordered 3 more of the Enerdans but they...

    UK members: Morrisons pricing **** up.

    24.5p for an Energizer Lithium Ultimate? I don't think so.

    UK members: Morrisons pricing **** up.

    Just a quick heads up for anyone who's interested that Morrisons have made a bit of a booboo with their pricing. I popped in today and was surprised to see them selling AAA primaries - Energizer Lithium Ultimate - in packs of 2 for 49p per pack. I think they are supposed to retail at £4.49...

    How long do 18650's stay charged?

    Hmmm, thanks Mark - I really like that idea. Go with 18650 and charge it immediately after use. Plus CR123A's as back up just in case - they are sure small enough aren't they. I will do just what you recommend!
