Sorry Matey, i'll get it sent back as soon as I have an opportunity. I got a job (finally) the day after I got back from SA and have been busy ever since. i'll have a day-off soon and send it then, along with your SA-souvenirNope.

They should be every bit as good as his 2900mAh cells, with just a tiny bit more capacity. personally, i don't feel that they're better than the 2900's by enough to justify the price difference.Has anyone tried the new 3100mAh AW batteries? I lost my old batteries after my cycling accident and I'm about to order some.
I'm going to get my dad a good torch for xmas.
It has to be AA batteries and no more than about £60 or £70
I have a quark AA 2 turbo myself which has been great so am thinking of getting the Fenix LD20 R5 or Quark AA 2 Tactical. (he would benefit from flood rather than throw)
Are there any other torches that AA powered and would be better than either of these?
edit - how about the led lenser P14. 4AA but sound squite good. what are 'alkaline Mignon batteries' ??
edit 2 - LD20 and Eneloop batteries ordered. Dont want it not to turn up before xmas![]()
Good choice on the LD20 and Eneloops! That should be him sorted a treat. just make sure he recharges those 'loops and doesn't throw 'em away when they're flat
btw, "Mignon" is the French/European term for AA sized cells.![]()
Will the Eneloops charge ok even on an old crappy charger that he uses for his current rechargables? I didnt want to spend another £30 odd on a new charger aswell

Apparently the Panasonic 3100 cells will drop to 2900mAh after ten or so charge cycles anyway...
So using the same supplier as you would you recommend this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UltraFire...ing_LightsLanternsTorches&hash=item35b705c4c7

Just charge it normally, you don't need to let it run down or constantly keep it charged either, it's Li-On. Just keep an eye on what it charges to with a multimeter. Ideally you want it charging to 4.20v or a little bit less.
Just need to try and find a UK plug adpater for it now![]()
cheers mrk, do you know how long will it take roughly?
This foxed me for a couple of minutes - it's a normal shaver plug.
depends on the charger you have and at what current it charges at.
My charger that came, has x2 flat prongs to it. Found an adapter for it now
Just got the stock charger mate, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UltraFire...ing_LightsLanternsTorches&hash=item35b705c4c7
on the rear it has 18650 smart charger
model: MTLC-04200-0650
INPUT:100-240VAC 50/60Hz
OUTPUT:4.2VDC 650mA
about five to six hours depending on the capacity of your cells![]()
