    help with dead 18650 battery

    Thank you Thank you, that did the trick. I put the my batteries in the same position as that picture and held it for a second or two. Checked the voltage and it was over 2.0v. Put it on the charger and the red light came on and I am back in business. Thanks, Glen

    Solar Force LP2

    Received my TN12 and it is one bright flashlight! The size and function is just great. I can operate the twist with one hand if needed, but for the most part it will be left on high for now.

    Solar Force LP2

    I ended up going with the Thrunite TN12 instead. Good price and I like it's features. Was looking for a good thrower. I know you get what you pay for, but for the price I got a complete flashlight for the price of a nailbender drop in. Xtar WP2 charger and a couple Panasonic type batteries to...
