    Surefire warranty not what it seems?

    Not Surefire. But, I can speak to Underwater Kinetics warranty. I gave my daughter a UK Surefoot flashlight when she moved out. A emergency hurricane light so she could see her way down A flight of stairs. Last June prepping it for hurricane season she got the threads crossed up and ruined the...

    Energizer Max Worse Than Duracell

    I do not keep alkaline in anything I value. They all leak. The energizers used to be made here. Now they are made overseas. I use the Eneloop rechargeable batteries in things of value. Last year I started buying C & D size batteries that I could recharge too. Over the many years I have lost so...

    Streamlight stinger 2020s

    I purchased two of the Streamlight 2020 lights last year prior to hurricane season. We like them that they had a switch for the different settings. And they tail stand so they could do lantern duty too. And I could use regular 18650 batteries if needed. I checked out the newer 2020S when they...

    What batteries for Fenix lights?

    Every year about this time I review my battery supply for the hurricane season. I do stock alkaline batteries because they are cheap. But, I also invest in lithium batteries. Because I know they have a long shelve life. And I always appreciated the lithium batteries made here. But, this year I...

    LiFePO4 and 21700 Li-Ion Safe to Store in Vehicles (High Temp)?

    Yep. For critical applications when I really need my lights to work, I use the CR123A batteries. They never have let me down. Or in the dark. John

    LiFePO4 and 21700 Li-Ion Safe to Store in Vehicles (High Temp)?

    I have a MagLite ML150LR for emergencies. I charge it and my other lights up on June 1st for hurricane season. I test it (them) when I am done. The Maglite is dead in December. So, I do not depend on it. On the other hand. I had a Surefire G2 in my truck with CR123A batteries. It was there for...
