    Replacement cap switch for Sipik SK68 3W?

    Had the same with one of the four I got for my sister. Frankly, at <$4, it might just be worth buying new ones and starting from scratch. Chris

    14500 VS 16340 Advice Please

    Correct. The 14500 can generally handle more current as well, all other things being equal. I pretty much exclusively carry 16340 lights and understand their limitations. Chris

    Whats it gots in its pocketses today?

    I just received my gold/olive Baton 4 and I’m running it through its paces right now. I already have the rainbow Ti. S-Mini, but I’m at least loving the gold/olive color combo. Chris

    What lights are on your radar in {2024}?

    Just bought an olive Baton 4 and it should be here in a couple of days. Not a fan of weird proprietary batteries, but it is what it is Chris

    Discharge Rate for Cycling AA / AAA Batteries

    For AAs, I use 1000mA, since I can't go any higher. For AAAs, I'll do 500mA. Chris

    Re-tooling - Best Manufacturer for use of standard rechargeable batteries

    I just stick with the 'Big 5': Sanyo/Panasonic, Sony/Murata, LG and Samsung for the bigger cells and for the smaller cells, we're at the mercy of the Chinese, so all bets are off. For SureFire lights and not boring the tubes out, perhaps 16650s are a way to go with the right drivers. I replaced...

    RCR123 that doesn't suck?

    That's a 16340 3.7 volt cell and not a 3.2v RCR123, for starters. All of them are Chinese in manufacture. You're on your own when it comes to quality and the 'flashlight brands,' change on a whim. We're no longer in the AW world, so just try what you can find and report back. Chris

    European regulations requiring user-replaceable batteries

    I had two LG FlipPhones for 17 years and a Qualcom that allowed me to replace the batteries. Loved them. I have smaller Nikon and Sony cameras still, which allow me to change my own and those are fine while I can still find them. 4.5 year old iPhone XS Max and I'm still 'at' 93% and the Apple...
