    Duel battery system in car

    Apparently it's an issue if you have a temperature compensating or ecu controlled alternator. Take a look at this PDF: http://www.redarc.com.au/images/uploads/files/tech_tip_-_bcdc1220_vs_alternator_charging.pdf cheers

    Duel battery system in car

    Voltage drop is a big issue as are modern vehicle alternators which often can't provide enough voltage to charge two batteries in a dual battery systems. It sounds like you have a DC-DC charger installed to ensure a full charge in the second battery. They are very popular here in Australia. Take...

    Small Portable Radio's?

    I'm not sure if this radio has been mentioned, but i've started selling a little emergency radio in my store. It's called the ST3358. It's a dynamo & solar radio and in true emergency radio style it has a built in flashlight and a USB 2.0 port for cell phone charging. It's very basic but the...

    How's it going? From down under

    Hey mate! Another one from Brissie! I sell Fenix lights in my online emergency preparedness store and i also think that Fenix is lot better than Led Lenser. I sell plenty of Fenix LD22's (2xAA 190 lumens) and LD41 (4xAA 680 lumens). The Led Lenser has that whole zoom thing going for them but...

    AA or 2xAA, moonlight, and no PWM?

I have very suspect rental neighbours who have recently been charged with theft from fellow neighbours and i do regular property and street patrols and i use sub-lumen...

    Tell Us What Do You Use Your HeadLamp For?

    Thanks cyclesport, i was aware that it was up for pre-release but i had not taken a closer look at it's moonlight specs. If it's moonlight is indeed lower than the H51 i shall be in the market for one. cheers

    Tell Us What Do You Use Your HeadLamp For?

    I have a trusty old Zebralight H51 neutral which i use everynight on it's absolute lowest output to read in bed so as to not disturb my better half. I use it for about 20 mins to 1hr per night and seem to get about 2-3 months per single AA eneloop, though i re-charge it before it shows signs of...

    LD12 replacement (are Quarks all they're cracked up to be?)

    I think the AA quarks are great. I have about 6. I only have the tactical models because they are easy and simple to use for my family members who hate my programmable lights. I cannot get a family member to get their heads around the Zebralight UI. I have mostly 2xAA's but a single AA or two...

    I can't decide on an AAA and AA charger for my Eneloops. Can you help?

    I've been using my NC8700 8 bay Enecharger from batteriesaustralia.com.au for about 3 years. It's so good i bought another to keep in storage as a spare. Not cheap, but a really really good simple charger. I regularly fill all 8 bays and it handles it fine. It's a smart charger with discharge...

    How do you like the Fenix TK41?

    Great light! i've had mine for a few years and it works everytime. It's an excellent thrower, i use it in the bush in my backyard almost every night and when there's a power failure i tail stand it for ceiling bounce and it lights up half the house all night long, no diffuser necessary! It's one...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I found a Sugar Glider or Squirrel Glider dancing in the trees in my front yard. It appeared to be catching and eating insects: I used my TK41 to help the camera: cheers

    Power Outage, How many Lumens, How many batteries? (for lights and more)

    Re: Power Outage, How many Lumens, How many batteries? We lost power for 4 hrs earlier this year (the longest we've lost power in 6 years...) and i put my TK41 in the living room on High (335 lumens, 7hrs runtime) and it lit up our house very brightly. I left a small SC51 in the bathroom area...

    Power Outage, How many Lumens, How many batteries? (for lights and more)

    Re: Power Outage, How many Lumens, How many batteries? In my experience lanterns are great for outside use, where you have no ceiling to bounce light from. Inside, a lantern can't compete with a decent white ceiling to bounce light from. I've had a few power failures at home and at work in...
