    What is the attraction of multiple-cell AA lights?

    Re: What is the attraction of multiple-AA lights? It's true that during an emergency many stores will run out of AA batteries first, which is exactly why I DO keep AA flashlights around. Years ago I standardized on only buying devices that ran on AA batteries if at all possible. At any given...

    Looking to buy Eneloop XX's in the U.S.

    I'm in the same boat - looking for Eneloop XX's in US. I saw 2 ebay sellers selling these to US. One of the two sellers (can't remember which) had a negative comment of 'fake batteries' that spooked me from buying. But that was one negative comment out of hundreds of positive comments. There...

    Anyone ever use sodium hydroxide to get the finish off their lights?

    I've used 'Greased Lightning' with excellent results. It is very cheap at Walmart. I've never seen it in a tub. I bought it in a spray bottle (about a quart size) and I think they had a 1 Gallon jug too. I believe it's dilluted Sodium Hydroxide. I soaked the light I did for about 5-10...

    Sanyo AA Industrial Grade 2700mAh

    I've had the same experience with the Energizer 2500's. So IS Maha Powerex made by Sanyo then? I'm leaning towards the Powerex.

    Sanyo AA Industrial Grade 2700mAh

    Are you sure that Powerex are made by Sanyo? I've never heard that before. Now I don't know whether to get the Sanyo or Powerex 2700's. My older Powerex 1800's were some of the best batteries I've owned. Always held their charge well and never had one go bad. (Unlike the Energizer 2500's...

    Sanyo AA Industrial Grade 2700mAh

    Thanks! That's a lot of very good info. I was hoping the Sanyo would hold their charge more like the Hybrids I'm using for seldom used devices, but it sounds like for almost everything else I'm better off with the Sanyos. The way I figure it, if I fully charge Hybrids and Sanyo at the same...
