I wouldnāt get anything besides the Panny 18500ā¦.and if you want it protected for whatever reason, Keeppower has them under their label as the P1850C3. I picked up a pair of them at Illumn but I think Aloft Hobbies had some, and Liion and a couple other stores seemed to be out of stock forever. Iād be hesitant to order these from aliexpress. The china cells all seem to be crud for this size but Iāve never owned any of them myself.
18350ā¦Iāve got the Vapcell green F14 3A 1400mAh (itās a tad less than that) for a little higher capacity in some lights and the Keeppower UH1835P 10A 1200mAh for others (not sure whatās in the Keeppower but itās a really capable cell with great capacity for the drain).
I donāt know how the 18500 would fare in that lightā¦should be well enough but if you are fond of turbo or running for longer periods of time it might fall flat a little bit. The Pannys are good cells, though.
18650ā¦Sony VTC6 or Samsung 30Q or the Molicell similar ones are great. If you usually stay out of turbo or use it for shorter periods where the voltage can bounce back up, the 35E and similar higher mAh cells might get you a little more run time overall. If you run the 35E and such at higher currents often, the actual capacity will often be a washout where you might as well get the higher drain lower capacity 30Q instead.
Yes of course. Vaccination wonāt prevent you from catching COVID, nor does it act as a reliable barrier to stop transmission. But symptomatic people can be more transmissible than those who arenāt. If the vaccine minimizes symptoms then itās helping to cut down some transmission.
Keeping in mind about disinfo and politically related inferences not tolerated here, note that all vaccines have some side effects. And yes, some people can have bad reactions. Thatās the reality for any vaccine. Iāve had side effects with every vaccine Iāve gotten. Just feeling low energy, tired, body aches, and on my 2nd inoculation I stayed in bed for a day. Within 24~36 hours, totally fine. No lingering symptoms. No worse than a flu shot. I havenāt gotten COVID. My housemate got it. Two members of my family (who I donāt live with) got it. Iāve socialized with people who had it and recovered. Iāve been generally good about popping on a mask when in close quarters in public, except for restaurants with anti-viral ventilation systems.
OK, ānuff said. I donāt have anything more to add. Thank you.
Iāve bought from 18650BatteryStore, Illumn, and BatteryJunction. I donāt know whatās going on with shipping, but some sites are charging outrageous shipping fees for batteries now. I was looking to get a few cells and while preparing to check out at Illumn and preparing for a $7~8 charge, it was $16. Same at LiionWholesale. JLHawaii808 seems to have better pricing. But, they donāt have a few cells of interest.
Glad to hear you can move and operate with freedom again. Wonāt it be nice someday if covid evolves into something less concerning/contagious? I remember what that used to be like. lol
Since titanium has worse thermal heat dissipation than aluminum, would it make more sense to add the boost driver here?
I bought the aluminum D4K with the boost driver add-on. Compared to the FET driver, the maximum output is lower. On the other hand, the output is better regulated. Is there any chance to increase the maximum current? I think someone mentioned 2A per LED as the default current.
