    Anyone have experience with the Tenergy Rechargeable 9V 600m Li-ion Battery?

    I searched around and didn't see much on this battery. I'm looking for a 9v battery for a telescope dew heater application (https://www.astrosystems.biz/dginst.htm). 6v-18v draws about 3w max power / 0.3amp @ 9v. I know that HKJ has several reviews on other 9v batteries however the Tenergy is...

    Solar charging 14500 Li-Ion batteries. Best option?

    Great customer service from Rayovac! Well, I called Rayovac and they said they don't sell replacement parts for that light and to send it in they would replace it - so I did. Wow. Great customer service. Got the new light yesterday! Michael

    Did Anyone Get Any Nice Lights for Christmas??

    Still waiting on a SureFire 6PX Pro that I ordered just before Christmas. I know there’s a back log due to the whole Black Friday debacle however I’m curious if anyone is receiving their 6PXs and opinions on when I’ll get mine :-) Michael

    Yeah I read about the debacle and how they sold a bunch so I’m going to impatiently wait. Looks like a good first light. Great forum to learn from here! Michael

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    I ordered my very first real flashlight, a SureFire 6PX Pro. It’s been a week however Thursday I got an email saying it’s back ordered so no idea when it will arrive. The KeepPower battery and charger I ordered from Illumn arrived yesterday and I’m very impressed with the quality. Michael

    What to do with older Maglites: 4D and 2C?

    You guys are funny! I ended up getting two of the Nite Ize LED upgrade (55 lumens) for $5 each at Home Depot. My 4D is super bright. Really impressed. The 2C not so much as the 4D but still a LOT better than the stock bulb. Thanks for all the replies and info. Still a lot to learn... Michael

    eneloop with charger / adapter (Costco) package

    I saw these at my local Costco (Sandy Eggo) today however before purchasing thought I'd see what y'all think 'cuz I'm a noob and don't want to carelessly either throw my money away or buy a fire starter. Probably pop by and pick one up although I'm pretty new at this and don't have but one real...

    Did Anyone Get Any Nice Lights for Christmas??

    I ordered a SureFire 6PX Pro although it won’t arrive until the end of the week. I’m new to the forum and flashlights and when I started reading here I soon found myself looking around the house to see what I already owned. Nothing that cost more than $20 and I think only one no name LCD I got...
