0,1%? I thought resistors were Ohm..
They are - but they come in varying grades of precision.
I think in an earlier post in this thread, I asked you "how you do that"..
Anyway, I am think I have reached Level 1 Budgeteer Apprentice .. I found the source, and was able to get 6 hi max 2600 for $26.00 plus $10 for shipping.
That comes to $6 each.
However, before I saw that, I went for the 2 Hi Max 2600 for $18.90 on Ebay which means I spent $9.45 for each cell in that deal. I am learning..
The links were in the fifth posts btw. Thats where I ordered 2 Himax now.. dont have enough lights. :P
What is the capacity of Hi-MAX, there are several reports, 2200mAh, 2400Mah and others.
I see that now. But, at the time, I couldn't find it or understood. Anyway, at Level One Budgeteer, I am getting better.
What you mean, you don't have enough lights?
I am getting ready to go over the 10 mark..
I have to be on guard that this hobby doesn't overshadow my main hobby..
From what I have been reading you are correct. One report put them a little higher. Compared to the Ultrafires I have been running, I am almost sure the Hi Max are going to be a big improvement.
Also, I plan on going up the scale in the cell department. That is each time I order new cells, get something better. Most like I will end up getting those $17+ cells that I have been reading about..
The old saying of you "get what you pay for" still holds true..
When all arrive, I will own 8 18650 batterys and 5 flashlights + 1 mod project. So no need for more batterys.^^
Dont know if I'll have to buy more lights.. currently im suppressing my urge to buy more. :P
When you find out how to suppress the urge, please, please let us or just me know how you did it!!
Right now I keep telling myself I'll have all the flashlights I need. XM-L flood, XM-L throw, XR-E throw, X-RE flood to throw.. and I keep myself from writing ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS a PM about great throwers because I know it would end up in buying more. But yeah I'm satisfied with my flashlights.. kinda..
One of the guys here tested the HiMax 2600 at a tad over 2500mah
I saw that one too. Anyway, I am graduating up from those dreadful Ultrafires that came with my one of my lights.
When my Hi Max cells get here, I am going to see how far I can sling the Ultrafires!! But, then again, that not be right, need to dispose of them correctly. But, they are going...
Prepay credit card. No money on card, no fun
I would just load it with way too much money out of laziness. I usually load my student card to pay in the canteen with 50€.. thats enough for 2-5 flashlights.. I mean, one month of eating there.
I receid my HiMax cells a few days ago. They are a very tight fit on the L2P.
I am still technically new to the flashlight game. But after a fiendish bout of scouring these forums I settled on these.

Here is the test data for these batteries.

Probably not what you would call "Value" but I thought it seemed like a good value for higher end cells. Compare the test data to other high end cells, these are identical to batteries that cost 30-40% more.
13.96 each is a bit pricey for my taste. The photo is deceiving because they show two batteries.
Can anyone confirm if ManaFont is selling fake TF 3000?
I just ordered some for my brother as a gift.
I started off with grey Trustfires from dx (not bad). A few months back, I bought a pack of 6 Hi-Max from ebay pingyi (good). However, I read some recent forum threads about how the Hi-Max battery quality may have dropped or become inconsistent.
Which batteries are good value now? Are the Efest Sanyo from Manafont any good? http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/efest-sanyo-protected-18650-37v-2600mah-rechargeable-battery-pairset-p-11591
Not sure on the Efest, they seem ok from what I hear and read. I'd go with the protected Sanyo 2600's from Int'l Outdoor or Panasonic's from there (or see KumaBear's sales thread and figure out cost of shipping to you).
