    Cheapest place for aw bats?

    The amount of sites that carry the AW batts pales compared to the Ultrafire/Trustfire batts. I mean you can't even find them on Amazon or Ebay. I wish more places carried them so there would be more price competition.

    Cheapest place for aw bats?

    You'll notice I specified in my last post about the regulated 5v models. The 'harder hit' issue is moot on a regulated drain device. The atty is going tho draw the exact same amount of power throughout the curve because the ohm load is fixed and so is the voltage. Once the batteries can no...

    Cheapest place for aw bats?

    The IMR "Hi-Drain" red series are only 550mah compared to the 'silver/black' AW li-ion 750mah. Most people are probably looking at the longevity factor between battery swaps. At least in the regulated 5v devices the "Hi-Drain" feature is less important than the time between charges.

    FDA at it again...tell your Representative

    I got one response out of the 3 letters I sent. Here is the response I received: I'd have to say either they have gotten a lot of these letters so they have a canned response, or someone actually has researched my complaint.

    Would these batts work?

    the only thing you have to worry about is length. I bought a set of Ultrafires and each battery is about 2mm longer than the black/silver AW's. When I put them in my GLV2 they almost totally compress the spring and its very stiff getting the cap on. They do work, but I think I might try the AW...

    My new glv 5v

    I buy Boge 510 SR cartos as well. Jay is sending me a couple atty's to try out. I also bought some Boge 808 cartos, but I'm waiting on a 510 to 808 stealth adapter from AvipVaper.

    Have You Seen This?

    Yeah I actually saw 'the billet' in Grimm's review and then found the GLV from Jay's comments, about how his 'friend' ripped off his design. Besides the fact Grimm said they didn't machine some of the edges and he felt like he'd cut himself on it someday, it just doesn't compare in looks to...

    My new glv 5v

    At what voltage? At 3.7v most people seem to get close to all day. The regulated 5v and unregulated 6v GLV2's would be somewhat less due to the higher current draw. A charge cycle for 16340 batteries is about 2 hours.

    GLV2 Battery Questions

    Unfortunately AFAIK all the rechargeable 16340/RCR123a's are made by the same 2 or 3 Chinese companies. Even if you order from the USA it's going to be a made in China battery. I wish Energizer or Duracell made rechargeable batteries in the 'specialty' sizes we use.

    FDA at it again...tell your Representative

    Sent to my 3 scheming miscreants. It's bad enough, but I also live in an area where they have applied the same rules to public use of analogs to PV's.

    My new glv 5v

    Yeah I'm a smidge under 6'5" and I can palm a basketball. If you compare how large it looks in the OP's pic to mine you can see how much smaller mine looks. If I close my fist around mine only half the carto is visible.

    My new glv 5v

    Everyone else's GLV2 looks HUGE compared to mine. I guess the rest of the world has tiny hands.

    GLV2 Battery Questions

    The high drain AW 'reds' are only 550mah compared to the 750mah silver & black AW's that Jay sells. My silver/reds are perfectly round. Most of the time any distortion in the batteries case is either a bulge from an overcharge or a mfg defect. Maybe you got some knock off's or maybe just a...

    Just placed my order. Oh em gee the wait begins!!

    No its a metallic 'black raspberry' type color. The cam built into my netbook needs a lot of light and I was using a bare incandescent bulb for some fill lighting. it's just the combo of glare lighting and a so-so webcam.
