Re: WTS: Selfbuilt's new MID-RANGE MYSTERY BOX Offer - $90 USD
As for chargers, I've always found the higher end Xtar ones (with read out displays) to be good value for money. Nitecores are ok.
Sorry, I haven't been following recent trends, so don't know what a good general resource would be. But the above is good advice to get you started. Generally, you get what you pay for - don't skimp on quality.
For the lights I'm selling, that's easy - only buy quality protected batteries, standard Li ion. You don't need super high capacity, special chemistries, etc. Button top is preferable, for maximum compatibility. Avoid all unprotected, and cheap brands (like ultrafire, trustfire, etc).Selfbuilt, I'll admit after I have a package en route... but do you have any beginning resources for an 18650 newb? Recommended batteries, chargers, resources to read on it? Getting confused with unprotected vs protected etc; have access via esk8 projects to lots of unprotected LG 18650 but not sure if that's a recipe for disaster because I'm not going to want to learn too much re: chemistry and all that; happy to adhere to generally recognized best practices.
