You’re talking the subreddit I have three threads open in other tabs and am commenting in right now in those other tabs? The one I spend quite a bit of time each day in?
I’m pretty sure I know what the problem is though. And it’s not a technical issue with the site, if you catch my drift. I’m just wondering if others have earned the same distinction I have or it is something unique to me. Normally the answer would be clear, but sometimes it’s hard to tell
I googled it and supposedly this is the case. If a user has blocked you - you see all their content as ‘unavailable’. Must have touched a nerve sometime in the past with this user I wonder what it was as I don’t even recall their username
Edit: I went back through my reddit history and I figured out where it might have happened. Talk about having a thin skin
Yup. And there’s a reason why I had doubts I was unique in this regard. Seems my suspicions were correct. It’s a pity that someone with a decent level of knowledge would seek to go that far and deprive folks of their research for minor reasons.
As an aside, one thing I love about the old.Reddit+RES combo is that there is a button to ignore users by minimizing their comments without a full-on “nuclear option” block that leads to this sort of situation.
Hi. What’s the normal standby current drain of the D3aa? In don’t have a way to measure but I’ve since turned the aux off as I’m noticing I needed to recharge it much sooner than my TS10s.
Another thing is that I use my small lights in candle mode at night at the lowest brightness. My TS10s, I can use for a little over a week before needing a recharge. The same battery in a d3aa needs to be charged on the 3rd day. Was wondering if mine has an abnormally high parasitic drain?
Is there a good way to convert this into a voltage drop along the batt’s life for 104 days? I can only measure batt voltage and was wondering if mine’s within baseline?
What that means is that the voltage drop between 100% and 80% is about the same as the voltage drop from 80% and 45%… except for those batteries where it’s 60-65%. Yes, the relationship between voltage and % charge is not the same for all batteries;
You need to know the characteristics of the battery to get an accurate guess.
That said, given the way voltage drops rapidly from 100%, the fact that the old versions of Anduril only measure with 0.1V resolution, and possible calibration, I am not surprised by a 0.1V drop over two days. In fact, I’d be mildly surprised if it didn’t drop that much.
The issue I think you may be running into is that once you drop below 100 mA output, the D3AA’s driver efficiency plummets;
I believe that the TS10’s FET+1 driver is a lot more efficient below 100 mA than that; someone with more detailed knowledge correct me if I’m wrong. Without knowing a few things like how low the “lowest setting” you’re running at is, I can’t say for sure, but I can take an educated guess.
Regardless, I don’t think it’s abnormal, merely a difference between the two lights.
That’s a question for TK or one of her acolytes. But considering how few calibrate the voltage anyways, I question the relevance unless all parties involved are truly compulsive.
Precision to two or more decimal places requires a certain degree of attentiveness that many lack. Newer versions of Anduril allow resolution down to 0.02 volts and show that second decimal place, but lets be honest; that’s a pretty deep dive for those who are not super-serious about the hobby. I would ask how many people here calibrate the voltage on their Anduril lights, but I know that many of us here are a little more devoted to flashlights than the average person.
I have calibrated the voltage on one of mine, but to be honest I prefer to just set the aux lights to display voltage and consider green to mean it wants charging. If I want to know the actual voltage I’ll test it with a meter.
My thought was that dropping from 4.1 to 4.0 over two days might actually only be a drop from 4.10 to 4.09 depending on how it’s reported, however that would require a multimeter to test and the OP doesn’t have one.
