I got that one pennzy, but the $5 off Amazon coupon would not stack for me. It disappeared when I entered the Vipon Coupon. Oh well, still a good deal.
I should have clarified, I am actually picking up 14 channels total. I was just referring to the 4 major OTA networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC), out of which I pick up 3.
Vipon has several Lux Pro lights for $5. I ordered them for Christmas gifts next year. Great gifting lights for parents and older people who only run alkaline batteries.
It is… if they have at least 80% of the possible charge…
Trying to figure out how I can test the capacity with the chargers I have… Not usually trying to test primary batteries.
I do have an Opus (3400 which is the same as the 3100 v2). The discharge cuts off at 2.8V which doesnt do much when I’m testing for capacity on a primary lithium cell. A primary lithium will drop to that level after a VERY short period of time. The discharge is modeled for a Lithium Ion which makes sense.
Unless I’m mistaken, there is no way to set continuous discharge to obtain full capacity.
Got a coupon code from Vipon for the 16 and 20 count and think I spent less than $10 with the 10% off coupon. Got them and I don’t even have a dedicated cr123 light. Might sell them to my boss since he has a couple of Surefire lights that take them.
I have a RC hobby charger, if anyone could tell me a reasonable or industry standard for current and cutoff voltage I am willing to test one to know the true capacity…
It’s rated at 1,450mAh and .5a discharge rate is about .3c will be good enough, as to cut-off voltage I would personally choose 2.8v since a lot of members has the Opus and it cuts off at 2.8v too, that way there can be a bit of ‘standardization’, so to speak.
I am curious to know too, since I also ordered a pack of 20.
I am thinking a 500 ma discharge and a cutoff at 1.8v as he did, I am scheduled to receive them tomorrow, will test 1 and see how it goes, hopefully it will be a good battery
I busted out my hobby charger. Didnt think of that route earlier until someone mentioned it.
I ran one through at 500ma. A bit off of the 1450mah spec’d for the batteries if you consider working voltage — but to 0 it meets expectations. I expected it to be less… For the price and my expected application, I’m good with it.
