    First build BDR-209

    Welcome! Although I'm not coming up with any specific things to investigate (at this point), I just want to ensure that the cell you're testing with has been verified as still indicating a reasonable / expected output voltage as of this moment, and following all your testing. I only ask to...

    I dont have a problem, I can stop any time I want to. How about you?

    "..want.." I see this as probably the 'keyword' in the title.

    @ABTOMAT : You need another flashlight like Imelda Marcos needed another pair of shoes 🤣

    Craftsmanship At Its Finest

    I learned my shotgunning skills as a youngster with a Mossberg 3-shot bolt action .410. I eventually traded it (and perhaps something else) for a Mossberg 500 slide 12 Ga. Actually it was the Revelation-branded version of the 500 sold by Western Auto. The only gun store in my small town was...

    Vapcell 16340 1100mah ??

    I note a fairly large spread between nominal and minimum capacity. Always pays to look beyond the big wrapper number to set one's expectations.

    Vapcell 16340 1100mah ??

    Addendum: FYI: These are the KP16340 I tested in my last post above. They list both the rated typical and minimum capacity, which is a good thing. Note the length. If you need something short, these are worth considering: https://www.keeppower.com.cn/products_detail.php?id=740

    I promised a watch story.

    I remember seeing one, and likely both of those watches in posts, with photos. I could tell they had some meaning / significance to him, and now I know a little more about that. Those are definitely both in the 'Not For Sale' category;-) https://www.candlepowerforums.com/posts/5595467/

    Vapcell 16340 1100mah ??

    950 'rating' is about the current par number. I've been using a bunch of Nitecore NL169s in rotation for about a couple of years now, and they're holding up reasonably well. Here's a few examples of some actual test numbers. Note that all these measurements were to discharged to 2.8V rather...

    Sold/Expired MACBOOK AIR M4 16gb RAM 512gb storage Sky Blue $959, or best offer

    Is this one of the models I hear they're in the process of jacking up the price on by a couple of hundred because their chip prices are up and their precious margins are at risk;-? If so, that would make this one an even better deal!

    Li14430 battery options

    The machine work on that body looks like the perfect combination of providing optimal purchase, while not being extreme like a rasp or cheese grater. The details matter.

    Vapcell 16340 1100mah ??

    True! I have to use protected button tops within about a cigarette paper of 34mm flat, but the ones I get now are 950 rated (and test close to that), and 10 years ago I was lucky to see the 6-700 range with those. It's good that with everything that's getting worse, at least some things are...

    Cars, Man

    Basically a Can-Am engine in a plain-Jane Camaro.:-)) Maybe COPO at its best.

    Cars, Man

    This is arguably the most ‘special’ Camaro Chevy ever built, made only a few of, and actually weren’t ‘supposed’ to make any of. Many/most were plain vanilla base Camaros even more plain than this one, the kind one would barely notice going down the street. No badges on the sides, not an SS or...

    18650 advice

    That does sound strange. Just out of curiosity: With clean contacts, what DCIR does the Opus measure on the 'quick test'?

    Li14430 battery options

    Just a side comment. I still haven't really looked at the info for that specific light, but in general... If I'm looking for a cell for a light, P1 consideration is the flashlight's input voltage (V). P2 is the current (A / mA) requirement of the light vs output rating of the cell. P3 is the...

    Li14430 battery options

    Roger that. I'd be a little cautious w/ a light like that, and would want to get it right. Someone around here can probably help you nail this down. I can only answer one question. Yes, that's definitely a legit site, I've purchased 2 fairly pricey chargers from them in the past couple of...

    I don't know the flashlight, but you talkin' about something like these? https://www.batteryspace.com/14430-batteries.aspx?srsltid=AfmBOooySK9I0FqgJcII9Am_Sh0HE8O8bL7i4Tjg9MH7M1FA-g77AzIA

    D3c, another D25c MKII, or...

    Good catch, as that would be a good way to save and get a switch! I now have some in stock for both my Cs and As, as those are tiny microswitches that certainly can't last forever. As a general FYI side note: As part of the minimum form factor' design of these lights, the actual length of...
