    RediLast 3100mAH 18650 batts

    I use them in a custom 2p2s pack that I built for my active heat winter jacket and the work supreme. I get almost a full 8 hours on the pack before it needs to be recharged. The OEM battery pack barely made 2 hours before I needed to recharge them. I just recently tested each cell with my cba3...

    Are your old Eneloops still going strong? - a survey.

    All but 3 of my original purchase of 40 are still going strong. They still test out at over 1850 mah on the C9000 and still do very well on the CBA. These were all purchased in 2006. Quite impressive product.

    Restoring electrical conductivity to oxidized contacts? (water damage repair??)

    Mr. Happy, you are right about pure isopropyl alcohol, but the stuff bought in drug stores is usually 70/30, only the professional stuff is 99% pure. When I took a master technicians class for cell phones we learned the following for a submerged phone: 1. Remove the battery 2. Open the phone...

    Restoring electrical conductivity to oxidized contacts? (water damage repair??)

    I have had wonderful success with De-Oxit red. This will breakdown most corrosion and will normally not harm the flashlight or the electronics. If you get the kit, you get De-Oxit red and gold along with some brushes and applicators to clean your electronics. After you have cleaned the device...

    Alkaline Batteries leaked inside the bag.

    In a wor, yes. I just had some Duracell's destroy a Logitech remote. My fault, I totally forgot they were in there. They came with the remote. Duracell made good on the remote and sent me a coupon for several packs of alkalines.. Gave the coupons away,and replaced the remote. I scoured...

    Help with a Schulze 10-36.12 charger! Already not liking it.

    Sorry that you are having problems. I have the same charger and I can honestly say that these chargers do nickel based chemistry perfectly. If it is not working correctly, it is most likely a configuration issue. I had to read the manual several times before I could say I was comfortable with...

    Did you ever have a rechargeable battery leak?

    Never had any lithium cells leak, but I have had two OLD GP 'C' cells vent after an old charger malfunctioned. Alkaline, now, that's a different story. That question should be phrased: Who hasn't had an alkaline cell leak? It is more a matter of when and not if an alkaline cell will up-chuck...

    Heads up on West Montain Radio CBA software version 2.2.7

    Re: Heads up on West Mountain Radio CBA software version 2.2.7 Download the free VMware player and install XP. This has saved me many hours of frustration with several programs that simply do not play nice with Vista or 7. I use this with an older copy of Orcad and it literally saved me $10k...

    Heads up on West Montain Radio CBA software version 2.2.7

    Re: Heads up on West Mountain Radio CBA software version 2.2.7 Hi Dave, I was testing at 1 amp when this artifact began to show up. I think that you may be on to something because these cells are quite old, but not yet achieved 'crap' status. Currently testing an Eneloop at 0.5C to compare...

    Heads up on West Montain Radio CBA software version 2.2.7

    Re: Heads up on West Mountain Radio CBA software version 2.2.7 West Mountain has released a newer, new version 2.2.9 which "seems" to have repaired the issue with the disappearing data. I did notice that there may be a new issue with this version, but I need to test a few more batteries to...

    Dead Eneloop :(

    very interesting, I have had a few from my original 2006 purchase do exactly the same thing. i am wondering whether we are starting to see the EOL for these 2006 generation cells. The 6 that I have had do this are showing <65% capacity when you test them on a CBA3. They still charge,but...

    Ultrafire 18650 4000 mah

    I was given a few of these flea-bay cells from a friend for testing because as he said, they don't seem to last as long as the AW's even though they have a higher rating. Result, each cell tested between 1200 and 1600mAh, and evey cell showed severe voltage depression when ran at currents above...
