    Small flashlight for single Samsung 30q battery

    I have several new Samsung 30q 18650 flat-top batteries, so, I need a light that uses these. This is for general purpose use and I would like something inexpensive. Say, not more than $20-$25. Main use is my gf walks through the backyard each night to close the chicken coop door, lol. While I'm...

    Uh-oh, flashlight got wet

    This light is maybe 3 years old, bought it at Costco, it is a Feit Electric light; it is similar to this one but I doubt my 3-year-old light is 1000 lumen --...

    Need headlamp for Banggood batteries on hand

    OK, I emailed Zebralight and a very nice sales guy called me with detailed info. I found one for sale and bought the H600 MKIII, which happens to be one of the models recommended to me in one of these threads. Hope it works well for me, glad to get it over, lol. Looking forward to a high quality...

    Need headlamp for Banggood batteries on hand

    I thought I explained it adequately, lol. I have ten perfectly good "Banggood" batteries that are flat-top and my TM16 flashlight needs button-top. I bought magnets to try to "fix" the fit and it didn't work. So, now, I figure I need a headlamp that can use the Banggood flat-top batteries, else...

    Need headlamp for Banggood batteries on hand

    Buying stuff these days is so confusing these days with so many choices! I still have not bought a headlamp. I posted on here maybe a year ago that I need one. I got a lot of good answers but never did pull the trigger. Now, I need one bad! I had first posted about needing one for night...

    Recommend rechargegable AA, AAA batteries

    I have used Eneloop rechargeable batteries for years. I am looking at an Eneloop AA now, says "HR-3UTGA 1.2v min 1900 mAh." What type is that? I use them for various devices. Can anyone recommend a good AA / AAA battery? I need some more.

    Should one use only rechargeable batteries?

    I use AA, AAA, C, D batteries for various things, general household use, flashlights, game cameras, household motion detector night lights, etc. Do you guys use rechargeable batteries for everything? Any reason not to? (Instead of buying a big supply of AA batteries, for instance, from Amazon or...

    How to store rechargeable batteries so you can tell which ones are charged

    Charge new batteries right away? / When to recharge

    I bought four new Nitecore NL183 18650 batteries from an Ebay seller. They were new, as they were in sealed packages. They do have a charge, as I tested them in my Nitecore TM16 light. Should I charge them before using in the light? Does it hurt batteries to fully discharge them in the light or...

    Determining which batteries (of 4) are bad? (Nitecore TM16 now works!)

    I forgot to say that the meter shows 4.14 - 4.17 v for these four 3.7v batteries. Series or parallel? I don't know much, lol. I don't know what that means. Two have positive posts up, two down. What does that mean, lol. I am guessing -- serial, lol. An analysing charger, I don't know. I have a...

    Determining which batteries (of 4) are bad? (Nitecore TM16 now works!)

    Months ago, I had a thread (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?421774-Nitecore-TM16-won-t-work&highlight=) where I expressed dismay that my TM16 light would not work any more. Good news after a lot of anguish... it works! I bought a new set of 4 Nitecore NL183 18650 2300mAh...

    What should the Voltage reading be on charged battery?

    Nothing is simple, is it. I have... alkaline (Duracell) NiMH rechargeable (Rayovac, Energizer) Eneloop rechargeable The Eneloop does not say what type it is! Say, why are the Duracell AA batteries 1.5v and the rechargeable ones 1.2v? That surprises me but what do I know. Not much. EDIT: The...

    What should the Voltage reading be on charged battery?

    First, I am pretty ignorant of anything electronic, lol. What about a Nitecore NL183 battery, 2300mAh, 18650, 3.7v, 8.5Wh. What does Wh mean? Second, after I charge the four NL183 batteries on my Nitecore Intellicharger I4 charger, the readings are 4.14 - 4.17. Is that volts? Is that good? If...
