You can't really risk it with ali because chinks love lying about batteries

And you can use your meme fan to recharge them

unless the russians test them in the reviews section

but i've never ordered batteries like that so i can't say for sure

The flashlight's got a USB port, shouldn't that work too?

I've ordered some 18650s for headlamps

They always out whopping numbers like 10000mAh and shit

but are rarely above 500

the flashlight needs a battery to begin with to recharge

i assume

i have no clue what flashlight you have

it's probably got a regulator chip that runs down the current to ~100-500 mA

Has to be 5V ofc because USB

did you get a charger with your flashlight @Silent ?

What flashlight is it?

I mean, I'm using the fan battery in there

It's a CREE: This one http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_604347.html

that doesn't really mean anything...

there you go

I should've mentioned it to begin with

I just never heard of these batteries up until now

i think you chinked yourself

in order to use those batteries you'll most likely already have them and already have a charger

Really? But this thing was on hot deals

so are fidget spinners but you don't see posters with like 11 of them

oh wait

kek

So what you're saying is, the USB port won't charge it?

it will if there is a battery

I mean it's the middle of winter here. I just bought the fan because it was cheap, so I don't need it to have power

what i'm trying to say is that in a real edc flashlight a usb port doesn't really make it easier to use the flashlight; if youre charging the flashlight you're most likely home and you can just use your dedicated 18650 charger instead

I don't plan my EDC very well

I just carry a backpack

edc flashlight with usbport usualy (proper ones) have stand too

where its easy to pick up when you leave from door

so they are always fully charged

That's cool

for examle olight sr30 comes with the dock iirc

Tfw it might take days before I find out whether my ads-b receiver works

airspace is very quiet here

Sweet! That tenkeyless keyboard I ordered from the UK already arrived.
