It seems much faster and easier to just carry a spare set of cells. Less bulk to carry, and you canāt use the light while charging the cells in the field. Are there any advantages at all?
The idea is from the MF02 thread, will the Neodymium Magnets be ok to use for contact in the Q8 using non-button batteries instead of soldering the blob?
I gave my Dad a Q8 for his 89th birthday, you should have seen him ābeamingā when he fired it up in Turbo outside.
He and Mom both want to punch,punch,punch the switch button, they may end up with it in configuration mode or things changed, but hopefully heāll get the hang of it. Heāll be taking it tomorrow to their weekly game day and showing it off.
Edit: Probably worthy to note, Dad grew up poor in the mountains of Virginia. He remembers the only light they had at night was a carbide lantern. (other than a candle or torch, of course) The little carbide pellets reacted with water and gave a gas that would power the light, and they wore this on their head! Yikes!
