    How do you "break-in" NiHM/Eneloop cells? Discharge first?

    Of course, all of this 'break in' talk implies that the cell has Memory, which is contrary to reports that NiMH does not have memory. (at least 'conventional' 'non LSD' NiMH) ??? I always charge mine first, but that says more about me than the cells, and I have no data. Does anyone really...

    Giveaway Thread (general info)

    Good to see you Doc! This is a really great Giveaway that you are doing here - Thanks! I'm gonna sit on the sidelines for this, as I just got a new light this week that is in the same vain as this one. Thanks again for all that you do! -Chuck

    Interesting runtime graph from TM16 cooled vs. uncooled

    It really looks to me that this is a timed step down for the reasons given above. ^^^ Zebralight has a temp controlled step down, and if it steps down without a fan, when you apply a fan it will come back up. I guess that with further testing we will see - I don't have a TM16. Thanks, -Chuck

    ThruNite TN31

    No - The TN32 is their Flagship thrower, so when they come with a XP-L HI it will have to go in there, or maybe in the *New TN33*:-) - I made that up, but you see the TN 31 has been phased out of the lineup. Hence the Killer Amazon price! Thanks, -Chuck PS - Anyone else here think that Acebeam...

    OLIGHT SR52-UT XP-L Hi (3Px18650) REVIEW

    Re: OLIGHT SR52-UT XP-L Hi (3Px18650) REVIEW (80% complete) The only thing that I don't like about it, is because of the 'In-Light' charging, the cells are parallel. - This limits voltage and hence the light is poorly regulated on high. - As Flashlion mentioned, using 6 primaries should fix the...
