    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer I still have 1.13 firmware. I don't have any LTO cells so is it worth me upgrading to 1.14? As I can't find a changes list I don't know if anything else was added/changed/repaired.

    Flat battery

    Thank's, yes I have been contacted by the dealer TheNines B&T via Amazon UK. They have suggested I try another battery which I am in the process of doing. I did run tests on the original battery using an MC3000 battery analyser and the battery seems fine. I suspect the torch has turned on in my...

    Flat battery

    Just a quick update. Left on a table turned off it's going from fully charged to flat within three days. Tried another battery and exactly the same. I have contacted the seller via Amazon, where it was purchased. Just see what they say now.

    Flat battery

    I like the idea of turning the clip to cover the button, I never thought of that. I am sure the batteries will hold the charge ok, I was thinking more on the lines of the torch itself discharging the battery when not in use. On both occasions this torch is carried in case I need it and has been...

    Flat battery

    I have had an Olight S1R Baton for about a month now which I thought would be ideal to keep in a trouser pocket. I keep in in a fabric "The Nines" pouch which came with the torch. From fully charged it seems to only last a week or less even when not used and just sat in my pocket. Has anyone...

    Maha C9000 dying, anything better out there?

    My C9000 has been acting up for a while now. I bought it a good few years ago. I also have a MC3000 but mainly use that for analysing and rejuvenating cells. I don't find it as useful for quickly dropping some NiMh cells in to charge as the C9000 was. For my 18650's etc. I have a VP2 as a...

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    I did see the recipe Ravel and it was very useful. I had worked with Raspberry Pi's a bit but there was still areas I am unfamiliar with. I have SSH'd into them before but was my first attempt at using VNC. I initially tried running it from SSH which didn't work of course. It was a very...

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    I have managed to install DEX on a RPi3 after a bit of tinkering and head scratching. I will be accessing it on a Macbook using RealVNC which also seems to work. I saw mention about using the MC3000 USB output to power the RPi. Has this been tried with a RPi 3 as I think the official power...

    Olight H2R query

    I had the following reply from the Olight UK distributers. The reason is that the Turbo S/Turbo mode can not be reached if using other batteries. No other special reasons. I am sorry that I may not explain it very well. After a bit more digging it appears the protection circuit on most...

    Olight H2R query

    I received an Olight H2R yesterday to compliment my other Olight torches. I received an email today from the dealer thanking me for the purchase and reminding me *The battery included is customized. Other batteries can not be used in this torch(because of the different circuit design. It came...

    Batteries & XTAR Chargers [Photo thread]

    I have an SkyRC MC3000 that gets used for battery analysing and serious work. The MC3000 is a fantastic beast, but is not intuitive for quickly putting something on charge. I have just bought a VP2 for less serious quick charge of Panasonic 18650's and RCR123's. I'm a bit disappointed that the...

    Battery load test question

    It depends what sort of test your doing and the capacities of the cells. But an electronic variable constant current load might be better than a fixed resistor something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N95NSSP/ there is a video of it in use here...

    Olight i3E Review (AAA Torch)

    That Ti3 looks interesting. I might have to get one to play with. The i3E arrived yesterday and is very neat and well made.
