    Childbot Y1915C Anyone?

    Just for the heck of it, I was looking at reasonably priced ($50 or less), somewhat powerful (3,000 lumens or more), flashlights with a decent throw (200 yards or more). Now my missus and I are seniors, meaning technical complexity is not our thing. We would, however, be using this light every...

    XTAR BC8 Does Not Indicate Full Charge

    I have a XTAR BC8 charger I bought a couple of years ago. It's well kept and used maybe once a month at most. All of the sudden, it seems the green full charge lights never come on. If they do, they go back to red after a bit. I tried to charge six, old, Eneloop Pros and they never charged...

    Li-Ion D Cells

    AYL Starlight 700 1300 Lumens LED Lantern, which takes three D cells. I also have a couple of three D cell Maglites. All are are mainly used for emergencies. I am concerned that the Energizer alkaline cells, which I keep in them, may eventually leak. I was considering Li-Ion D cells. Any thoughts?

    Has EBL Improved?

    Most of the info I find on EBL cells is older. It's also not very flattering. Has their quality improved? Are they a viable alternative to Eneloops? Are there any decent alternatives to Eneloops? Seriously, I realize Eneloops have a following and for a good reason, but this is 2026 and they...

    Start, Hookup, and Run a Generator

    What this man suggests seems to make sense to me. Since I am certainly not an authority on this subject, I was wondering what you more knowledgeable folks thought about his advice. https://youtu.be/sX442FodiT4 My appologies, I couldn't get the video to show up in the post. The link does work.

    GORDON 20-in-1 Multi-Tool

    Anyone have any actual experience with Harbor Fright's GORDON 20-in-1 Multi-Tool? When it comes to hand tools, I'm not much on the El-Cheapo (knuckle buster) lines, nonetheless I've heard nothing but good regarding these. There's no HF store near me so firsthand inspection is impossible. BTW...

    Rechargeable D Cells In 2024

    Long story short, I have a new CCRadio 2E Enhanced radio and, aside from AC, it takes four D cells. AC will be the primary power source, DC for backup. I'd rather not leave primary cells in it for fear of leakage. Also, I'd rather not use adaptors as I would need 12 AA NiMH cells. Are there any...

    Pocket Radio Query

    Greetings. Recently, I got a bee in my bonnet to get a small, pocket type radio. What I'm looking for is an AM/FM/Weather unit with a plug for an earpiece (a jack for an external antenna would be icing on the cake). Obviously, reception would be the main concern. Does anyone know anything about...

    Redsun RP2100 Whip Antenna Replacement

    Hopefully someone can assist me. I had an old Redsun RP2100 AM/FM/SW radio that I gave my grandson. The folding FM/SW antenna broke off and I need a replacement. I've been looking a bit but no luck so far. Any ideas on where to go or who to ask?

    Simple Headlamp for GP Use

    Greetings. I'm looking for some input on headlamps as the switch on mine is starting to go. My uses are household repairs, reading, and some light mechanic work. I've had Black Diamond units before. My current one is an Astro, 150 lumens, dimmable, the light tilts (a must), one switch, and runs...

    UltraTac K1 Query

    I just picked up an UltraTac K1 Keychain Flashlight. According to the specs, it can use various AAA cells of 1.5v or 3.7v. What I cannot find is any information relating to the difference in brightness and possibly run time if a 10440 cell is used. Is it enough of a difference to make a...

    Automatic Emergency Lights

    Moderators; I was unsure where to post this. Please move to the correct forum and you have my apology for my error and your inconvenience. Thank you. What I'm looking for are a few emergency lights. What I'd like are ones that plug in, like a nightlight, but stay off until we lose power...

    Portable Power Bank Assistance

    First, my apologies if this is in the wrong place or has been posted before. I looked around and figured this was it. OK, now my questions. Now, mind you, I am not electronic tech savvy. What size Portable Power Bank would I need to power a computer with two monitors and an Internet router for...

    Opinions On 1.5V AA/AAA Lithium Rechargeables

    Greetings, I'm wondering which 1.5V AA/AAA lithium rechargeable batteries you folks like. I have a few applications where my 1.2V NiMH Eneloops don't work well. Instead of using primary cells I figured it would be cheaper (and less polluting) in the long run to get secondary cells. Especially...

    18650 to C and D cell adapters

    Recently, I purchased my first 18650 powered flashlights. Just outstanding is all I can say. The other lights that I and my family have are mostly various models of Maglites and they're running on disposable D-cells. These work OK because they're not daily use lights, however they don't work...

    Wuben L50 and C3

    Does anyone know what the practical differences between these two lights are? I'm looking for a new EDC and I'm not a cop/soldier/security guard, I don't work nights outdoors, and my camping days are over. I just need a GP light for in and out of doors as I live rural and take the dogs out at...

    AA or C-cell NiMH, that is the question...

    I am about to purchase a Sangean PR-D15 AM/FM radio. It runs on AC and has the option of a 6 C-cell battery backup. It also features a built-in charger for NiMH batteries (a feature I really liked, especially in case of power outages). I already have and use many AA and AAA Eneloops and a couple...

    Tenergy - How Do They Stack Up?

    My apology, in advance, if this has been asked before. I searched CPF and did not find an answer; the Tenergy related information I did find was years old. As a battery line (my main concern here is their NiMH products), how do they compare/rate with the others? From the little I know, in the...

    JobSmart 1800 Lumens Rechargeable Flashlight

    A friend of mine recently purchased a JobSmart 1800 Lumens Rechargeable Flashlight from Tractor Supply. Has anyone any experience with these? Seems like a big bang for the buck and I was wondering it it's worth it in the long run. It comes with batteries and a charger. I know nothing about...

    Cell Phone Contacts Backup Help

    I’m posting this query here because I have no idea where else to turn. I have an LG Envoy III UN170 cell “flip” phone. I’d like to backup my contacts list but can’t figure out how. I was hoping to be able to DL them into my laptop. There’s what appears to be a jack receptacle on the side (see...
