Get some replacement insulators when you buy at IMR while you're there.
They have the correct size for the main 3 battery widths.
Here's 18650 - Wraps - 18650 Wraps - IMRbatteries.com

IMR have good wraps but I prefer the FDV wraps and they're much cheaper.

I don't know if he'll stock other sizes so back to IMR wraps for yer bigger ones
I'm stocked for 99 years or so

Okay so job market loosening up got real interview sort of settled where I want to work. The commute, not so hot, although I WILL admit that there are many times, where like, being alone in the car (preferably cellphone contact not enabled) is like my favorite thing. Etc. Also negotiated 4 day a week schedule, also the woman running it was insanely sane, until she revealed (well my searching down extension revealed) that she is like, a sane black lady from the east coast. Those are my favorite kind, and our phone interview went awesome.
Also 2 nanny interviews scheduled and etc.
Also, being recruited into an admin position rather reluctantly.

I think I can/should stop now. You know, applying to stuff at least. I was like, "Imma gonna be anxious until that lady calls," so I was like, "F the victim mentality" and called HER. She was fine with it, indicated she "had my folder" and that "My recruiter can be a bit douch-y" not those exact words. I think if anything it just sped up the process. LOL. Fine by me.

Site visit sometime next week.

GAH.

Pick up a few magnets at the hardware/dollar store for the batteries it won't detect. Just make sure your positive end wraps are in good shape. Just put them on when charging.

That’s exactly what they look like :(

I have an xtar charger and have no problems charging either the 26650 or the 21700 batteries. Maybe your charger just does not charge them?
No, I bought it because it’s supposed to do all battery sizes. They charge fine in my efest 6 bay, but in looking at it, it has a larger contact for the positive. I tried a small battery on the 21700 and the luc 2 worked fine. Only mildly irritating, as I bought it for travel

I have an SV2 and never have a problem detecting or charging any cell I put in it (18650, 26650, 20700 or 21700). All cells fit and it will charge both cells at the same time with your choice of 0.5A, 1A or 2A (defaults to 1A on powerup).

Comes with a car cord too. :D

I have that at the lakehouse. It does work great. Should have gone with another

My nemesis, shrink tubes! I’ve always wondered why you get a billion when you buy :lol:. I had ones for 18650’s, ordered packs for the new sizes when I bought the batteries. I long ago learned the hard way, when you need one, you need it asap. Nothing like isolating a battery and waiting for wraps to push your patience

LOL, this makes me laugh ONLY because my darling daughter was giving me this lecture last night. I, somehow, have a tendency to look back to times and think "gosh I sure was happier then." As in now, in California, my home town, somewhere I have always wanted to come home too. All I can do is remember how happy I was in Georgia. If I move back to Georgia, I will be lamenting about how my time in California was wonderful. Why is it, it only feels great when you look back to it? Am I going to spend my whole life this way? I have done this with husbands and haircuts too. Hated it at the time and then looked back and wondered why I did not know how happy I was until later. My hair in pictures from 20 years ago looks FAB but I remember at the time hating it. Just how I feel today and I think the only way to feel better is to buy a Juggernaut...........

We have a new kitten that we rescued from the street (neighbors cat had kittens and we were afraid the kitten would end up hit by a car as the neighbor was just letting it run free) So we brought it inside, and it has been "attacking" me since I got home from work (playing actually) but I am bleeding in about five spots right now!!!

It tries to jump in my lap as I am sitting at the computer and my legs are all cut up from it's sharp claws (wearing shorts). I feel like I've been in a knife fight with a midget (little person to be politically correct) :D:D:D:D:D:D

Rudy’s appointment went well. His blood work came back well enough, a little off, but not alarmingly so, considering his age and all. As I figured, he will need to stay on the meds, $45 a month, not a problem. Total vet bills about $500. Worth every penny. Just relieved my boy is still with me.

    Nah, got an innokin t22 which I'll probably use with it or a doggystyle. Unless by some miracle the zenith fits in there ;) - I'll post pics of the tanks when it turns up
