    Battery Question: D cell solar recharging

    Well, the 4D lanterns are LED, but the boom stick maglights are all old style incandescents. Some of the other stuff is a mix of the two. But to get good lighting in the cabin we use several lanterns per room, so we tend to eat up batteries pretty fast that way. Not super fast, as the lamps...

    Battery Question: D cell solar recharging

    Hi again all, long time, no see. I have a question. I'm looking for a simple, somewhat portable, or at least easy to store, solar charging solution for NiMH D cell batteries, and 9v's. I already have a AA -> C converter solution, so I don't need C cell recharging, as I have only one device...

    Refun DT 900 - Need help finding a replacement

    Archimedes, yeah, that's fine. :) Also, what's a good budget brand of 18650 batteries to go with them? I found one of my Refuns yesterday and realized that it didn't have any batteries with it. Not sure why, but either way I'll need to get one for it. :(

    Refun DT 900 - Need help finding a replacement

    Fireclaw18, yeah, my idea is for a budget light with good output in the 900-1000 lumen range for the exact reason (not worried about it if it gets lost/broken) you stated. They're basically my beater flashlights for in the house. So they won't go out with me camping or on the trail. Just...

(since direct links aren't allowed, just search Amazon for this: Rechargeable 18650 Battery and Charger Included] Refun DT 900 Lumens Tactical Flashlight （Bright CREE XML T6 LED Light) if you need a reference as I'm sure the mods will...

    Hemp batteries better than Lithium? Your thoughts?

    Myself, I don't know. I'm a supporter of medical and industrial hemp (but not recreational), and I know it can be used for a lot, but as for what the limit is, I have no idea. But if it's far, far safer than lithium and has at the very least an equal capacity, and is also far, far cheaper and...

    Hemp batteries better than Lithium? Your thoughts?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or6rO5_bze0 Ran into this on Facebook. It sounds legit, but like LiPO, may be more hype than fact. What do you guys know and think about these? Are they another snake oil battery technology, or do they have some potential?

    Your Most Used Battery Types And Chemistries?

    Hi there. I was just wondering from you guys what are your most used battery types? IE, AA, AAA, C, D, 18650's, 26650's, 123's, etc? Also, what chemistries do you use most? Currently I have about a 50/50 split between AA and AAA's with a smattering of C and D. But the bulk of my usage, both...

    Question About Battery Powered Battery Chargers

    Okay, I have a question. I currently have two Tekkeon MP1550 (ancestor to the current 1580 model) AA powered battery chargers for charging up 5v devices on the move or for use as an external battery pack on long video shoots. IE, plug into the camera's usb port and keep rolling even when the...

    Is this a gimick, scam or the real deal?

    Is this a gimick, scam or the real deal?

    http://essential-survival-guide.com/headlamp-offer-advanced-ccb/?affId=6924FA0E Saw this on Facebook and wasn't sure if this was a gimmick, scam or the real deal. I'm guessing the fore more than the latter.

    Suggestion for good Eneloop charger?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. As John pointed out, I'm just looking for charge and go at this point. And speed of charge isn't a big thing with me. I'm not this power user who burns through batteries like a drag racer burns through nitro. I'm more out to save money by going rechargeable...

    Suggestion for good Eneloop charger?

    Okay, I have a question, and this may be more of a situation where YMMV as there are several good choices. However, now that my surplus of Alkalines is finally running low (I've gotta stop bulk buying stuff, lol) I'm looking at getting some 12 packs either Amazon Basics 1k's or Eneloop 2100s in...
