    Lithium-ion over-discharge concerns and questions: Absolute minimum voltage?

    I have an XTAR VP2 charger, set at 3.6v "The battery" has been charging for about an hour and reads 3.98v now, on the XTAR, as I write this. I have a couple of questions before I perform you IR measurements: 1. You want me to measure current while in charger. Do I just place terminals into...

    Lithium-ion over-discharge concerns and questions: Absolute minimum voltage?

    Btw: Thank you both! If you have any other advice, I would be grateful to know. Otherwise I'll charge a bit more and report back. As long as it doesn't go nuclear, it'll work out I reckon [emoji120]

    Lithium-ion over-discharge concerns and questions: Absolute minimum voltage?

    The battery does not get warm and the charger has properly charged 2 other batteries, both of which were at about 3.9-4 I'll give this (possibly defective) battery a few more hours. I believe the reason for discharge to protection circuit was caused by either the headlight (Nitecore HC90)...

    Lithium-ion over-discharge concerns and questions: Absolute minimum voltage?

    Thank you very much! Could you estimate how long it might take to recharge fully? 8 hours to reach 3.89 seems quite long.

    Lithium-ion over-discharge concerns and questions: Absolute minimum voltage?

    So if I am understanding this, it's safe to charge if it's above 2.5? When I went to turn on that flashlight it did not light, so I must have reached a voltage that tripped the protection in the battery. Is that accurate? Please correct me if I am wrong: I am OK to recharge the battery and...

    Lithium-ion over-discharge concerns and questions: Absolute minimum voltage?

    Help: I have a 3400 mAh, protected Orbtronic 18650 that was in a Nitecore headlight for the last few months and discharged down to 2.89 when I measured. I used an Xtar charger as well as a voltmeter to check. I charged it overnight and in the morning The voltmeter still registered only 3.89 -...

    [Review] NITECORE HC90 (XM-L2 T6 / 5mm RGB LEDs, 1x 18650 / 2x (R)CR123a)

    I have not had a chance to fully test it yet. I will be spending some time in Lake Tahoe camping for the next few weeks, and report back with my experience. So far I love the light, I just was expecting more of a difference between turbo and high. Not really complaining though, this is...

    [Review] NITECORE HC90 (XM-L2 T6 / 5mm RGB LEDs, 1x 18650 / 2x (R)CR123a)

    Ok, I was hoping it was defective but other than that I think it's an excellent light. Much much better than anything I've ever owned. Just wish "Turbo" had more of an impactful difference. Also, I wish the red was a bit more bright. Thank you.

    [Review] NITECORE HC90 (XM-L2 T6 / 5mm RGB LEDs, 1x 18650 / 2x (R)CR123a)

    Hello all, I just got one of these lights. Has anyone noticed a negligible difference between high mode and Turbo mode? I would think a 350 lumen jump would make a big difference. There is very little difference. Is this normal? i am using a orbtronic 18650 3400 ma

    Has anyone had trouble contacting Solarforceflashlight-sales.com? I have tried to contact them multiple times with no response. I ordered three lights and modules and they got one of the drop ins wrong. It's not the end of the world, but I would like to see some response.

    Where do I find these? Will someone please post a list of good places to get p60 drop ins or point me to a list? Is there a resource that gives technical specs, beam character ( flood/ throw) as well as protection circuits etc? Thank you.
