    Li-ion batteries...current trusted brand?

    I stick with Sony/Murata, LG, Samsung and Panasonic/Sanyo. Also, Molicel is well regarded in high drain 21700s. Chris

    I read 4.75 vdc off my Baton4 charger.

    Yes, you should be concerned, if you have a fresh battery and if you’re using a DMM. That’s way too high. Switch things around, changing one variable at a time. Chris

    Buying rechargeable batteries.

    Eneloops (made by Fujitsu) are the best NiMH rechargeable batteries made for the consumers of Planet Earth. Chris

    What's the current recommend for a "9V" NiMH charger?

    What's the current recommend for a "9V" NiMH charger?

    13 years ago, I got a Tenergy dual bay NiMH charger with 4 Tenergy Centura 9v batteries and they’re still in service. Chris

    Is it okay to put three KEEPPOWER RCR123 into SUREFIRE M3LT?

    12.6v vs. 9.0v would be the difference, assuming that it normally takes 3.2v CR123s. Chris

    Three affordable emergency lights...

    I agree, just get something that will make light and be damned with the 'boutique' stuff. Chris

    Storm Checkin

    Everything's been fine here in Miami and apart from some moderate 'breezes' Wednesday night, it was a 'chamber of commerce' day and I work at Bayside Marketplace—an outdoor mall catering to tourists, in downtown Miami. I talked with a lot of customers today who came here to wait the storm out...

    Right now, it's an Olight Baton 4 in olive green and gold trim, but I have about 60 lights on hand, 20 of them at immediate reach. Chris
