    Charging Less Than Discharge?

    Thanks Jay and John. I'm staying with 1C to charge / top off. The pack is getting slightly warm. I'm going to try a 2A discharge and see if the battery will cycle before hitting the charger timer limit. Bob

    Charging Less Than Discharge?

    Pleased to meet you Jay, thanks for the input. I think I understand the minimum voltage. My pack is 8 cells totaling 9.6 volts so I set my charger (Keenstone C1-XR) to a minimum discharge voltage of 8.7V but it also allows me to set the discharge current. 2C I think would be 3.2a for a 1600mah...

    Charging Less Than Discharge?

    Great thread, so I get the 1C vs .5C charge but is there an optimum discharge amps? I understand different loads will drain the battery at different rates based on the current draw and I understand not to drain a cell below .9 of it's stated voltage but my charger lets me set discharge amps...

    Light for Nighttime Small Watercraft Navigation

    +1 for the TK75. IMHO the TK75 is the big brother to the TK61, in cost, size and output so that comes down to your budget and how big a light you want to handle. The plus for the TK41 is as others mention the convenience of AA battery size but on a Zodiac I doubt you're carrying alot of extra...

    Nitecore Tube - USB charging issues?

    I have two and they charge fine with any cable I throw at them. You may have a got a bum one. Not sure how much they can QC for 10$ a light with those features. Sent from my iPad using Candlepowerforums

    When do you use high powered lights?

    Masters, your EDC choices would fit my needs fine as well but I love playing with the big boys. I would +1 the TK75vnKT as my favorite bigger light though it's output is totally overkill for anything I NEED :grin2:. My middle school children and I play a silly game called flashlight tag at...

    Best high capacity 18650?

    Re: I Need 18650 battery and charger reccomendation. I'm not qualified to say what is the best but a protected 18650 based on a Panasonic cell is really good and well thought of and a nitecore D4 is a great charger Sent from my iPad using Candlepowerforums

    Something interesting I read in the paper.

    I admit I have been very fortunate to not have experienced extreme weather events but I still EDC a light that gets used 2-3 times a week. Not a big workout but still worth it to me. I like being prepared in case my good fortune changes. I suspect most of the people in Truckee had lights at...

    Maglights: What to do with them?

    My Mags have car duty with Malkoff upgrades. In a pinch they could be a personal defense device. I am a bit paranoid about the Alkalines leaking so check them every couple of weeks when I clean the car.

    Suit pants, click, thin dual mode

    I like my Peak Eiger with the tail cap push button option, though it is a momentary on only. It's variable output depending on how hard you push the button. It's small enough for my suit pants pocket

    You Just Know Your A Flashaholic When......

    When you go to the restroom at work that has no windows, shut the door, turn out the lights and compare your new TubeVN with the stock model.
