    Eneloop Reaching 115-125 Degree on BC1000

    I have a pair of BC900's I've had for several years. They overheat all cells, including eneloops, at 1000 mA. I've taken to charging at 700 mA or 500 mA on these chargers. I've found that my 2 or 3year old MAHA MH-C808M charger apparently has better termination programming as the eneloop...

    2016 Low Self Discharge C and D NiMH Batteries

    I also seem to get good luck with Tenergy Centura C's and D's. They cost approximately half of what Accupower, Ansmann and Imedion's do and they are available locally at both Fry's in the San Diego market. I use a Maha MH-C808M charger that is probably the same as BillSWPA's. I do notice that...

    Surefire tail cap disassembly Z41 switch mod.

    Wow and Double Wow!! That looks like my stuff that VOB just installed for me. I bought the switches from DellSuperman (last switch on batch 3 and first switch on batch 4) or 3 and have been very graciously treated by VOB re multiple drop-ins and mods over the past year. Intriguing to see how...

    Alkaline brand least likely to leak?

    The 1939 RayOVac was a carbon or, maybe, carbon zink cell. I've only heard about or experienced leakage with alkaline cells.

    I've not yet used my introductory discount as I was hoping to find an appealing lantern. When will Factor have product?

    Splurged on a 4 pack of Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA today, and found a good PDF.

    I like the Ultimates for high-drain momentary applications and applications that typically remain unused for multi-year periods. It's nice to not worry about alkaline leakage. I still have around 100 Advanced cells that I bought a few years ago at a Lowes closeout where 2-packs were sold for...

    Multi cell (4+) D-cell charger?

    Ditto to Chris' recommendation the Maha 808M (or MH-C808M) as mine is labeled. I was able to get mine on-line a couple of years ago for about $80. I use them constantly to feed 3*D-cell 3-LED candles with automatic light-sensing switches that sit in windows for the holidays and around the...

    Alkaline brand least likely to leak?

    If you must use alkalines use them on low drain applications and throw them away when their no-load voltage drops below 1.0 V. Alkaline manufacturers don't tout their cells' capacity because alkaline cell's Peukert's law parameters drop precipitously as current drain increases. Many, but not...

    Surefire C3 Serial Number Registry

    My HIII Natural C3 body is presently out at Precisionworks for boring. I've bored out my own P and D bodies and A14 and A19 extenders but don't have confidence in my hand-held tools to avoid getting too close to the flats on my C3. I, too have a KL3 head, but this one was recently modded by...

    ThruNite going under?

    Within the last few months I purchased a Mini TN30 - a 4 * 18650 "beercan" triple emitter that puts out 3200 Lumen or so on sale for something like $89. I have big hands that just barely fit into size 2XL work gloves that I have to searchout on Amazon (I can't find 3XL gloves). In any event...
