    LED light as a "beacon"

    Thanks for the great input. Stefano, the light was a steady green. It did not look like something commercially bought, but i only saw it from 40' away. I'd really prefer to build my own, but you guys gave me some pretty good and reasonably priced options. Anyone know if a 10watt LED can be...

    LED light as a "beacon"

    Hi, I'm not an electronics wiz, but am pretty handy at making stuff. I attended a little camping party in the Nevada desert this fall with about 20k people. An RV near us had a bright green light attached about 15' above his motorhome that served as a beacon. We could see it from over a mile...

    B6 mini charger for LiFePO4 battery for motorcycle

    Hey All, not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes. I purchased a LifePo4 battery for my dirt bike a couple years ago. The battery is not holding a charge and I didn't have a lithium battery charger. I've now purchased an Imax b6 mini charger. I'm trying to figure out how to set the...

    which charger for 12v and 18v lion batteries?

    Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for! Interesting - I charged the motorcycle battery for about 20 mins on the smart charger and it's back up to 13v. I haven't tried it on the bike yet to see what it will do under a load. I guess I'll also have to check the motorcycle charging system.

    which charger for 12v and 18v lion batteries?

When I hooked up the Stanley charger, it immediately went to about 25a, then settled down to around 10a. Re: the Makita, i've read that if the battery gets too low, and you...

    Newbie looking at flashlight to use 18650s from Makita battery pack

    Hey Guys and Gals, I've read a bunch of different posts on the forum and can't seem to find my answer. I tore apart a Makita battery pack that was filled with 18650 batteries. I'm pretty sure they are not protected. They've got a ring around only one end and are a little over 64mm long. I"ve...

    Using 18650's salvaged from Makita?

    Newbie here - I've got the same question. I've got a couple Makita battery packs that went bad and would like to use the 18650 batteries for LED flashlights. I read this post, assuming it's the post Ram2 is referring to, and it doesn't seem to answer my question...
