@Cole is our flashlight expert
i need something to have in my car, i have one with with with LEDs but is a fucking joke
Go to Cole if you want flashlights that'll outlast you, and go to me if you want flashlights that are cheap
Or a middleground, something Cole would surely recommend you
Then again, with car you hardly have to worry about space constraints
and some good 18650? i need some for various projects
I haven't bought a single 18650 in my life, sorry
Oh, I have
For vaping
But small flashlight don't need 15A continouos discharge
Samsung 30Q is the usual recommendation
available on Gearbest or Banggood cheapish with a coupon most of the time
i have a some I salvaged from dead laptop batteries, but they die eventually
or the LiitoKala ones if you want to go cheap
Depends on dead batteries
If you got ones that came discharged you're SOL
But recently I got one for 5 dollars that comes from a laptop that got broken, and it was near 50% charge
So perfect for storage
They work great and are powering my 6 cell powerbank
these genuinely look like a death trap
but if you use them a little, they die after a while
>stepping on li ion pouches
yeah okay
Not in my experience, it's luck/informed purchases
I got one battery that had terrible cells
Rest charges to 4.18v, so all's well
and the voltage doesn't fall considerably
what's your routine for checking cells?
they look great if you ever wanted your own land mine
depends on yoru budget tho
nvm if its going to be in your car i'd get something bigger
i don't know, it was a 6 cell HP laptop battery that was clearly dead. most of the cells were 0.8v, some were 2.6v. i jerry riged something to revive them. just a 18650 holder with one of that little charging boards glued together. worked OK, most of them got 4
4v or more
i tried to make a power bank with the 2 with better voltage, but it doesnt work very well
if below 2.5v, throw away
sec
i going to check those samsung
