Why LR is harder on batteries.

No problem Mike, glad I could help! You make some great PV's, I thought an on/off was the only thing missing, not a deal breaker for me, but I think it is a good added safety feature. I am always happy to help out someone like you, who truly cares about his products and his customers. I am confident you will have great success with the launch of the new Pro-line!

Again thanks for the idea G$ . That really was one of the last things we needed .

FYI regular lead based solder will NOT solder Stainless steel or nickel ! only silver solder with a acid based flux will solder that .

That is a darn good point. I don't know what the final outcome was. When I quit reading the thread they were testing it with tester kits and it was coming up pos. for lead but that was on old used ones.

I am not sure what accuracy those test strips have or if they react with other metals ? I think a better test is in order .

Or just ask the MFG and tell them that this is happening they MIGHT actually test them or NOT >

We have an old house (aprox. 200 yrs old) and we have lead in some of the original pipes. I haven't died yet from drinking tap water (nor my dogs) so I'd imagine if there is lead in the solder on CE2's (which I doubt) it wouldn't be that much of an issue.
