    Pila IBC and 3500 mAh, protected 18650

    Good sleuthing! I wasn't as independent-minded, and paid $68 for the IBC. It's interesting how a company with a dominant product with likely solid profit margins (IBC was already Chinese-sourced) ceases to exist. I do have you beat here, though I'm not at all proud about it: I was running XP...

    Pila IBC and 3500 mAh, protected 18650

    Yep, most of the chargers today cost much less than what I paid for the IBC in 2011 and they communicate much more information. However, my recent purchase of six Eneloops came with a charger and I don't like to toss a still-useful IBC, so I can live without a new charger for now. Thank you for...

    Pila IBC and 3500 mAh, protected 18650

    Hello, gurus. I have been using my IBC to charge my EagleTac 2400 mAh, protected 18650's since 2011. I will be buying a pair of 3500 mAh (EagTac, Orbtronic, or KeepPower) protected 18650's. It seems to me that the only downside to continue using my IBC with the new batteries is longer...

    hi, selfbuilt. is the Ceiling Bounce Max value of 28 lux for the Catapult V2 from the room in the previous house? if so, it might be good to re-measure its CBM in the new room, which provided the values for the M3C4 lights. mark.

    ...with the push button switch installed, the M2 [sic] is not able to tail stand. As of this writing, there are some water resistance issues which are being addressed by EagleTac. Since the M2XC4 [sic] comes with a limited lifetime warranty, they will send you the required components for the...

    great find, dhouseng! although i am scratching my head about the vast difference between the advertised (800) and the measured (400) lumens, i think Dan's advice is best. to that effect: on 6/5/2010, the reviewer measured a maximum of 593 lumens from the Catapult V2. i don't believe the...
