    How to read the end charge numbers on XTAR VC4

    It's hard work being a noob! The manual zayS in broken English that the capacity is the number showing after the charge. Manual: "3. To test battery real capacity: Batteries capacity should run out then do the same step as charging. When charging finished, the capacity finally showing in the...

    Battery Tester??

    I too am a noob at all this. I just purchased the ZTS MBT-1 on advise from this thead. I have a Sperry DM 6400 DMM used some to test AW 14500s for vaping and to test ohms on the atomizers, Low Resistance 1.5 ohms. Too bad I have no clue how to use them as described here. I want to test the 9...

    Battery Tester??

    I found this ZTS tester. Impressive. https://www.ztsinc.com/mini9RL.html How do you get the test grafts that are posted here and on other threads? Does it take computer software and if so where do I get it and are there special connectors needed?

    Noob needs batt tester

    After reading batt reviews I realized I need a decent batt tester. Mainly for the 14500s I use for vaping and now for rechargeables for AAA and AAsI use in my Black Diamond Storm headlamp and little tent fan. All running on rechargeables. I assume that one would help determine if the batt is...

    Better eCig batteries ?

    In another post someone said that there was better now but didn't say what. I'm a vaper using e- cig mods for six years. I have not smoked since. I use a Reos Mod using 14500s and 1.5 Low Resistance atomizers to vape at 5v to get the heat I enjoy. I had been using AWs but at $10 a battery...

    Test/Review of Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA (L92)

    This has helped me in many ways. It helped me order the correct Batts for my Black Diamond Storm headlamp; choose the correct Tenergy 1000 AAA rechaegable batteries for it; learn the difference between all the newest battery technology - I thought the only difference that matters was between...

    Nitecore HC30 Field Testing Review.

    Do you find that it is heavyer in weight and a lighter headlamp like the Black Diamond Storm may be a better choice? It is also much larger than the Storm 7-5-2 vs 2" all around on the Storm. The Storm also meets speed of the bike that's needed at 250 lumens. Just something to think about...
