    Rechargable Flashlight for Rural Yard Use?

    I also like the Noctigon KR4 for an outdoor light. Easy carry up to 4300LM with the XP-L HI. I got the SST-20 5000K: 4200lm very happy with it. Optional parts are: 18350 tube Stainless steel bezel Extra floody optic

    Rechargable Flashlight for Rural Yard Use?

    I have this light and would also recommend it. My guess the output is much closer to 2000LM than 1000LM but only for short periods before things get hot on Turbo. I typically use it at half power most of the time outdoors.

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    Yes, I read that and there seemed to be a misconception about how the negative terminal is connected to the circuit board. It does not connect through the supporting rail so any lubricant will not affect any IR measurements or charge/discharge current. Thankfully! ;-) Using DeoxIT on the slider...

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    I sent off a note to SKYRC asking what they recommend and if white lithium grease is OK. ;-)

    Yes, White Lithium might be better. Unfortunately the factory must have run out of lubricant when my MC3000 was manufactured, the sliders are dry as a bone. ;-(

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    If I remember correctly from a tear-down video of the MC3000, the slider mechanism is purely mechanical in function. The circuit connection is a thick wire soldered to the slider. (see image below - black wires) Given that I think I will use a Silicone Grease lubricant to remove the friction in...

    Sure, if it were solid metal, but from the images I've seen above it appears to be plated. I could be wrong, but some of those images showing wear/corrosion have me wondering.

    I guess it depends on how much metal you scrape/gouge out over time. ;-)

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    MC3000 arrived. Love it! It does everything I need it to do. Observation: There are basically two ways to insert a battery into the MC3000: 1. Use the battery to push the negative slide terminal back and force/push the anode in place 2. Use your finger to pull back the negative terminal, drop...

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    Just ordered my MC3000, will be here tomorrow. It looks like no other company has attempted to enter this "high function charger market in the last 6 years. Kudos to Sky RC for hanging in there. I haven't read this entire thread (yet) but hope to attempt that soon. My current understanding is...

    Test/review of Miboxer C4-12

    Thanks for the update. I just purchased this charger for my Samsung 18650 Q30's - Got a SOFIRN Q8 this week for Search & Rescue work. I'd like to keep my sets of 4 cells binned properly. I think this charger will do it. A Very Big thanks to HKJ for the awesome technical review.
