    Tank007 E09 the famous budget light review - for submission in the Reviews forum

    Purchased this light about a year ago. I like the mode memory function! Trouble is the head/bezel is VERY loose fitting! Trying to on sell this light as I don't like this loose head at all. :shakehead Light was manufactured in April 2016 according to the serial number on the light.

    Test/review of Charger ISDT C4

    Answering my own questions!! The iSDT C4 has independent slots/channels which means different cell chemistry can be used in each slot simultaneously. Also, each slot can run different processes (charging, discharging, cycling, analyzing etc) simultaneously. The parameter display of each...

    Advanced Battery Charger With Analyzer?

    Comments noted, thanks. In the end, I've just bought the iSDT C4 charger. It was the best choice I believe. The charging and discharging currents can be set independently of each other, and all four slots are independent. Charging current can be set as low as 100 mA when needed. And the...

    Advanced Battery Charger With Analyzer?

    Charging of several batteries in parallel to effectively reduce charging current is noted. Thanks. 100 mA charging current may be the better option for very low capacity cells and/or for cells with high(er) internal resistance. Gentle charging of cells is usually preferred to maximize cell...

    Advanced Battery Charger With Analyzer?

    I want to have the option of charging low capacity cells at a low current when needed, especially if the cells are old. Some cells in the future that need to be charged may be smaller than AAA size. Thanks. I have the Opus BT-C3100 V2.2 charger which is essentially the same as the BT-C3400 I...

    Advanced Battery Charger With Analyzer?

    Thanks for that! But I have already gone through that list. With reference to that list - the Opus BM100 in that list shows 0.1 A as the minimum charge current, but the BM100 minimum charging current is actually 200 mA or 0.2 A. likewise, the FT2000 minimum charge current in that list should...

    Advanced Battery Charger With Analyzer?

    Looking at getting a battery charger with battery/cell capacity (discharge) analysis. Requirements are - * mains powered * charges NiMH cells primarily, but preferably charges Li-Ion batteries/cells as well, including LiFePO4 and, if possible, 3.0V regulated/protected RCR123 at 4.5V(?) *...

    Test/review of Charger ISDT C4

    This charger basically has 4 charging channels. Unless I missed something, I presume each channel is independent of one another? So it should be possible to, for example, discharge a Li-Ion cell in channel one, analyse a Ni-MH cell in channel two, cycle another Ni-MH cell in channel three all...

    Reviving "Old" Ni-MH Cells?

    Tried doing "refresh" mode on these two Energizer 2500 mAh cells, using an OPUS BT-C2000. The refreshing took approximately two days using a discharge current of 100 mA and charge current of 200 mA. The result is that one cell has a capacity of 1240 mAh, and the other cell has a capacity of...

    Reviving "Old" Ni-MH Cells?

    I have a couple of Ni-MH Energizer rechargeable cells. Had these for maybe 15 years, but have hardly been used. Recharged maybe 6 times or so (only)! Noticed that these cells are not recharging anywhere near their rated capacity of 2500 mAh. Maybe charging to around 1800 mAh only. From various...

    Small Flashlight Wanted With Tail or Side Clicky Using ONE AA or ONE AAA Battery

    Sorry, I didn't specify price limitation in my original post, but that has now been added (approximately $30 limit). Thanks for verifying the UI for the Zebralights. These are the lights I'm currently considering (although they are not entirely ideal, for various reasons) - Niteye SE-A01 >...

    Small Flashlight Wanted With Tail or Side Clicky Using ONE AA or ONE AAA Battery

    Comments noted, thanks. The SC53fc seems to have an identical UI to that of other Zebralights according to information at Zebralight website. So it appears that the light doesn't seem to remember the last USED level setting when switching the light back on later with just ONE click of the...

    Olight i3T ?

    Thanks for the notification! There are only two outputs (180 and 5 Lumens). No moonlight or firefly mode. Throw is about 10 meters at 5 Lumen setting. Apparently no mode memory. Beam angle is about 29°. Which is a very slight flood. This light is not for me though (not floody enough and no...

    Small Flashlight Wanted With Tail or Side Clicky Using ONE AA or ONE AAA Battery

    Thanks for the suggestions! The JetBeam E01R has a beam angle of about 33°, which is not bad but prefer beam angle at or greater than about 38°. It has a minimum throw of around 4 meters, which is also not bad. So this light might be a consideration if nothing better shows up. Also had a quick...

    Small Flashlight Wanted With Tail or Side Clicky Using ONE AA or ONE AAA Battery

    I'm after a light with basic mode memory function. For example, I switch a light off at medium brightness level, the next time I switch the light back on with a SINGLE click, the light will resume at the medium brightness setting. I do NOT wish to have to do multiple switch presses (or hold the...
