Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

Dale out of all of your chargers, which is your go to? Or does it change depending on the cell?

Wow all this talk about my picture using metal calipers. Iā€™ll admit I almost measured the cell bare but then realized why that would be bad and put a small piece of paper on one side. The picture you see is after measurement with the caliper resting on the table (not reaching the positive terminal)

Apart from the safety issues, a fat spark could ruin the precision ground surface of the callipers, spoiling them for precision use. Put a piece of e.g Kapton tape, or ordinary Sellotape on one end first.

And do treat car batteries with respect, inside they contain an explosive atmosphere of hydrogen and oxygen. If the battery has been over-charged and ā€œboiledā€ the electrolyte (acid) heavily, there may little (but highly concentrated) acid left, and most of the volume filled with explosive gas. Abuse one with e.g. a short and if an internal spark happens e.g. when a bit of the lead inside melts, or an external spark ignites lingering hydrogen, kaboom ! A substantial explosion, happened to a neighbour, car bonnet blown off and conc. sulphuric acid sprayed everywhere. Before attaching leads, ventilate thoroughly in case there is any hydrogen lingering around.

Modern ā€œsealedā€ ones are safer, they have a catalyst inside to recombine the H2 and O2 to water, but it is a slow process which does not keep up with heavy charging currents, e.g. after a battery has run low, then been recharged on a drive by the full output of the alternator.

Hydrogen has one of the widest range of flammability limits, so is an extremely dangerous gas to have lingering around. And when generated by electrolysis inside a lead-acid battery the perfect explosive mixture is produced.

Capable of throwing sulfuric acid all over the area, too.

It carries a ā€œdo not muck with thisā€ warning

Talk about the B in BLF :slight_smile:

Anyone remember where to find the post where a 3d printed lantern diffuser was featured, with a link to the program? A friend of mine just got a printer today and I canā€™t seem to find the post with thread searches.

Is there a post with the links of the protosā€™ reviews ? Just curious

thanks

Thatā€™s the one! Thanks a lot.

How do I get that quick Link/cheat sheet in Englsh?

Itā€™s here. :slight_smile:

BG paid back the money on PP so all it fine somehow.
The last Q8 i ordered is already shipped. The first is on itā€™s way.
Back on track. :slight_smile:

Thanks but it doesnā€™t appear to be the same thing. I am not only not a flashlight guru I not very techy either.

Banggood is straight as a die in my experience.

I have cancelled orders there for a PayPal refund and seen it done within hours. Glad yours went through. Holidays maybe ? I could mention ā€œfirst world problems and impatienceā€ but I wonā€™t :wink:

It should be very close :wink:
The Joechina cheat sheet is designed to be printed and folded and kept in the light the other is designed for a A4 paper.

patmurris, what a relief!

Arghā€¦ screwed by the post officeā€¦ My lights show delivered and I saw the postman drive by so they should have been in the mailbox. Nothing. Nada. :person_facepalming: :frowning:

You better check with the USPS asap then. Cause if is shows delivered on tracking, it probably was deliveredā€¦ā€¦just not to you. :frowning:

I have run into this three times thru the years. Thankfully each package was delivered to an honest person all three times & I got them the next day.

Delivery confirmation is worthless in cases like this. It only shows the package was scanned & deliveredā€¦. not where.

Good luckā€¦ā€¦

Somewhere in CA thereā€™s a USPS postman with the brightest light in townā€¦ :smiling_imp:

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Iā€™m sure youā€™ll get it sortedā€¦ :wink:
