jdecker asked me a direct question in regards to what i had advised him do for his own Safety and that of His Father. You took it upon yourself to answer that question for me. You told him i sell those Chargers you’ll be fine, no other advice on his own Safety, despite what i had recommended he do . Yet according to the statement above, you monitor your own Batteries and had your Father check them by feeling them with his hand. Why did he need to do this ??? According to your own advice and the advice you gave jdecker, none of this is nessessary, He’ll be fine. In fact if you had imparted any of the advice to jdecker from above it would have been at least helpful.
There is no Short Answer when it comes to giving someone advice about their Safety, there are however Bad Answers, if you don’t have the time then don’t Answer. But the least you can do is point them in the direction of some helpful advice along the lines of what you gave your own Father, or point him to the relevant Topics on this Forum he should read to become informed about his own safety.
Hi jdecker, please use this link for a current Topic on this Forum so you have an idea why you need to seek better advice, Got some new 14500 batteries in, one of them measures ~.64 volts - is it safe to charge? this should explain to you why you need to do a bit more Reading for your own Safety.
There has been alot of good advice on various different lights given, and i’m sure as you are new to them, any one of them will impress you, and soon your Bookshelf will be covered with them. But do yourself a favour, read the link above and don’t stop there, first. Welcome and Enjoy
