Deker 3,478 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 What are the batteries like for these, I don't have anything that uses these batteries, they don't seem cheap. Any tips here, and what about the chargers? Cheers 18650 I'll put links up later for them and the charger. Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Oops what a plonka I just noticed it doesn't remember it's last mode, it's still bloody good tho. But it does remember it's last mode if you allow around 8-10 seconds between turning it on and off so it will be spot on for lamping. Quote Link to post

That is a heck of a difference, and allegedly the cheap Chinese are 9900mAh against 4700mAh as well. Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I wouldn't trust the ratings, iv Had low Ah batteries last longer than high ones. But they are really cheap and small anyway so a stick few in your pocket your sorted. Quote Link to post

But they are really cheap and small anyway so a stick few in your pocket your sorted. Hence my use of the word allegedly! Just the same, looking at that lot and going for the cheapest options, it adds up to £11.00 exactly, for lamp, batteries, charger, postage. Frankly, in this day and age its got to be worth a try for that! Cheers! 1 Quote Link to post

tomburras 2,730 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 1 battery, not had chance to test how long it lasts tho. You can get a mount for your torch on eBay too. Quote Link to post
