also, reminder: if you have more li-ion batteries (more batches you bought over certain amounts of time)

NEVER MATCH THEM

use a sharpie and mark your batteries

series 1, series 2

purchase dates

A1/A2, B1/B2

When i measure votalge and it's the same I still should not connect them?

well, if you go that route, you probably could match them

there's also chargers that output kinda lot of data about a battery

if it's the same between two cells you could try matching

but usually mixing a "worn out" battery that you used for a decent while with a brand new one will bring unexpected results

poor performance and so on

i found something about Internal Resistance over time it can change

and this can change performance

"Mixed usage of batteries will storten the lifespan of batteries. If different batteries are used, their discharging speed will not be the same. If the balance is broken, then the discharging rate of each battery much be different, but you can't see through the battery. Damges to battery have already cuased before you realized."

Is the enthusiasm about having it as bright as possible?

Is it illegal to shine these things at people ?

I could see one coming in handy at night

the person will never be able to identify you anyway

shine on my brother

@emre brightness is part of it of course, but there's lights with different UI's (ways to control how bright it is etc), shapes (think tiny lights that have monster outputs like the Emisar D4)

so far I think I have every category of light covered

what do you think about the IMALENT DN70?

Thrower
Tiny monster
Nigger beater flood light
soda can flood light
keychain lights
headlamps

Ffs

If you had 20€ what light would you buy

@piersio no opinion, haven't heard much, but zeroair does great reviews: https://zeroair.wordpress.com/2017/06/23/zeroair-reviews-imalent-dn70/

@Cole i'm thinking about sneaking up to a turk or morrocan on a saturday night when he is pissing and then surprise him

use strobe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@emre 20 euros for light, battery and charger or just the light?

I have one of those 1850(?) Batteries already

Just the light

is it a shit battery?

anyway,

Do you guys use rechargeable batteries for these or not

always

Sounds like it'd run you a goddamn fortune if you used disposables

@emre either

If only 18650s were easily accessible in Cuckistan. 😦

no vape stores?

if I'm ever getting another flashlight the size of a BLF A6/Convoy S2, I'm definitely going for that desert tan one
