Eneloop rechargeables

Eneloops are where its at. Definitely recommend the ones I linked instead of the higher-capacity ones which squeeze out a little more juice per charge, but has far less charge cycles (500 vs 2100). This version includes a charger, if you're in need of one.

Also note that each Touch controller only uses a single AA battery.

Panasonic Eneloop rechargeables are supposedly the best rechargeable AAs and AAAs, plus they have adapters so you could have C or D batteries if you needed them without purchasing those as separate batteries.

I bought a couple packs of AAs and AAAs with a few of the C adapters and I basically haven't bought regular batteries for years. Performance is probably similar to Duracell but they definitely last longer than the Energizers I've used before.

They have been great for me. I have the Mamut grips which make it stand out vividly in my mind when I do change batteries since I have to go through the process of removing them to replace the batteries.

I play about 6-10 sessions a week. Been playing a lot of Rec Room paintball and draining the headset battery every two sessions. My batteries are currently at 70% and 65% left/right respectively after two weeks.

My controller battery life has greatly increased since I got the Panasonic BK-3MCCA4BA eneloop AA... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JHKSN76) rechargeable batteries and Panasonic BQ-CC55SBA "Advanced"... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G4T230U charger.

The play and charge kit is fantastic WHEN it actually works. Unfortunately every couple of weeks it acts up telling me the controller is charged when it’s really not. I always have to deplete it completely and then fully charge it.

You’re better off buying 4 Eneloops with the charger for $18 from Amazon. They will last forever (a decade) and they’re much cheaper than paying $2.50 for a couple of Duracell’s every two weeks. Once you have the charger you can order extra Amazon Basics batteries for your other devices/remotes for super cheap.

Oh yeah, the Eneloops come fully charged ready to go. Once they’re done, use the other 2 from the pack and charge the used ones right away so they’re ready for next time.

>Basically I'm looking for one that runs on AA batteries, is relatively easy to pocket or doesn't take up too much space on my duty belt; something decently bright to cut through foliage and search for objects/people.

>I've been looking at the Nitecore EA41/21 and MT2A.

"Cut through foliage". So you're looking for something with good throw/tight hotspot? Just remember, the larger the reflector, the more throw. The EA21/MT2A isn't going to have the throw that the EA41 has due to the smaller reflector on them. There's really no good throwers in those smaller sizes but for the EA41 size, I'd suggest getting the Thrunite TN41 XP-L HI instead which puts the EA41 to shame. This guy is 5mm shorter but 5mm wider but the thing that excels in this guy is the XP-L HI emitter which is designed for even more improved throw over other emitters on the market.

As many suggest, rechargeable are the way to go which I'll show you. I've actually borrowed the EA41 from my buddy to test which here is the runtime on High output. As you can see the NiMH rechargeable Eneloop batteries put both Energizer and Rayovac to shame. Yes Eneloop may be more expensive up front but they can be recharged up to 2000 times. So even though we know in the graph that 4 Eneloop batteries out-perform 4 Alkaline batteries, lets just pretend that they were equal. So you can get a 4 pack with a charger for $18 which would replace at least 8000 Alkaline batteries (4 rechargeable AA x 2000 recharge cycles). Can you get that many Alkalines for that price? Buy a backup 4 pack and you just replace another 8000 batteries along with having a backup of your own set so you'll always have a fresh set of batteries waiting on the charger.

One note, if you ever do think you'll get into Lithium-Ion batteries, I'd suggest getting a different charger like the Nitecore D4. I have this guy which can charge both Li-ion & NiMH batteries of many many sizes.

As for Lithium-Ion flashlight suggestions (just to throw them out there), the Armytek Predator XP-L HI is nearly best in class which it should have the same throw as the Thrunite mentioned above. It has a 5mm smaller head, obviously the body is thinner, but it's 40mm longer due to the tail-switch. Also check out the Nitecore MH27 which is nearly similar but has a little better user interface. An added note for the Predator that uses an 18650 Li-ion battery, a single high capacity 18650 battery out-performs over 6 AA Alkaline batteries, even though it's not much bigger than one. This means you can get more power and runtime in smaller applications. Plus these can be recharged as well for 500 cycles so they replace over 2500 AA batteries.

Get eneloops imo. They hold harge well, and last 2.1k cycles till 80% capacity iirc.

I don't trust those Abosi batteries. 20k cycles? 15 minute charge? Doubt it.

Well, since the Apple Batteries are basically just rebranded Eneloops, yes, its overpriced.
Get yourself this and this. You'll pay a little bit less, have two more batteries and a nice charger for charging up to 4 batteries at a time.

I would probably stick to that light and just buy some Eneloops. CR123s aren't rechargeable, and cost way more than alkalines. The size might be convenient, but you'll end up spending more on batteries than you will on the light.

They make rechargeable AAs.

Nitecore EA41

The included batteries are garbage. You can include some nice Eneloops in your gift with the money you saved.

Probably my craziest item are these Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries. I say this is crazy because everyone always asks why I have batteries on my wish list. Who doesn't need batteries?

They aren't lipos, but I have heard good things about enloop batteries. I plan to get some for my flysky transmitter.

https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-BK-3MCCA4BA-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00JHKSN76

First things first, pick up the Titanfall Season Pass. It's free, and even if you don't plan on playing it, it's always good to have the option.

External storage isn't a necessity, but highly recommended. There's a very high chance you buy a few games digitally in sales or whatever, and the 500GB (less than 400GB free) fills up quickly. If you see any good deals on one, I'd say get it.

Personally, I love really like my Kinect, but others may have some valid points against it. If money is tight, maybe give it a skip, but if you can, I think it adds to the overall Xbox One experience.

I have the official Xbox One Stereo Headset and it works very well for me. Perfect for my use, but if you get the headset adapter, you can plug in any 3.5mm headphones.

I also have a Play & Charge Kit. Rechargeable batteries work too, but when this battery pack runs out, you can just plug it in using the generously long USB cable supplied (or any micro USB cable) and keep playing. If you want batteries, I've heard great things about these: Panasonic Eneloop

Edit: The links for the headset/adapter go to the official Microsoft page. That's for info only. I highly recommend shopping around for the best deal on say Amazon or Best Buy if you're in the US, or searching on www.hotukdeals.com if you're in the UK.

Get an eneloop 2000 mAh AA

I have one in mine, battery charge lasts about a week or so, 8-10 hours usage per day. You can charge while the mouse is in use with a micro USB cable connected to your pc.

Panasonic eneloop batteries, the same kind that are in the firewood. No, you don't take the batteries in the firewood out. Sorry if I worded it confusingly. I meant that you can buy extra eneloop batteries, and put them in the charging pack mentioned above. You can 't charge the firewood with the power pack, but you can run it as a parallel power source to avoid draining the batteries inside the firewood. You have to buy an external charger for the batteries used in the power pack.

I've been using a set of these Eneloop AA 2100 Cycle Ni-MH in my headset for well over a year. Depending on your headset and usage (I tend to use BT in my zulu.2) they'll easily last 2-3 days of heavy flying. I keep the spare set in my kneeboard, charge them as needed. Cheap enough to cycle through them as needed.

You can however buy a USB controller for even less than a wireless one. Lighter too.

Or buy a pack of these and never worry again.

Just for fun, I'll plug the retroflag gpi case build

>I wonder if I should bother with getting rechargable AA batteries.

Yes. They're a tremendous long-term cost savings, plus normal alkaline batteries have a nasty habit of leaking and ruining devices, which rechargeables do not do.

>I heard they only run at 1.2v not 1.5v of single use. And flashlights are one of the cases where this matters.

Also yes, except there's a catch. The voltage of any battery sags under a heavy load (which flashlight are), and different types of battery sag different amounts. A fresh "1.5v" alkaline sags to about 1.2 volts under a heavy load and continues decreasing until it dies at around 0.8 volts, whereas a 1.2v NiMH barely sags at all until the instant it's empty. A flashlight will actually be brighter, and stay brighter, on a rechargeable NiMH than on a normal battery. We prefer Panasonic Eneloop.

> However, I would recommend you to get NIMH eneloops for the manker e11.

Like these?

So, going with the option of using the Eneloops or NiMH AA cells, so you have any specific ones you'd recommend? I've also been wanting to mod my Stampede, but I don't have the time or resources to have to do a whole rewire and anything too fancy to the internals. I found these [options] (https://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Recharge-Power-Rechargable-Batteries/dp/B0002DUQCM) through a quick search on Amazon, if they're what you had in mind.

Also, which spring would you recommend to use with these batteries in an otherwise stock blaster? I was thinking of getting a 6 KG or possibly leaving it with a stock spring as well.

You can use any batteries, just the included ones aren't rechargeable

Try Eneloop rechargeable batteries

If you have a multimeter, I would check the voltage on those batteries. It's possible that the g602 is draining them way past their rated minimum voltage since it is intended to work with 1.5 v batteries.

By it telling you that the battery is low, it means that it has dropped below a specified voltage (probably around 1.3 volts as this is around when AA batteries will die) The absolute minimum you can discharge a lithium battery to is around 3v before the chemical makeup of the battery starts to become altered. I would not continue using those batteries or honestly even the ones I linked. A standard rechargeable NiMH battery is what I would go for in this application.

You got me really curious on the matter lol. I went on a binge of scouring spec sheets for various batteries. The panasonic eneloop NiMH batteries are perfect for this situation as they do not suffer from the same self-discharge problems of many other NiMH batteries (which lose 1-2% of their battery life per day while under no load)

If weight is your biggest concern, they also make them in AAA and even those will last longer than the 14500s you linked.

For the safety of your mouse and right hand, please don't continue using those batteries. Lithium batteries aren't to be toyed with.

It's not good. If it's from an alkaline battery, here are some tips for cleaning it up. To avoid leakage in the future consider changing your alkaline batteries for low self discharge rechargeable Ni-Mh batteries like these Eneloops or primary lithium batteries like these Energizer Ultimate Lithiums

>That's what you pay for when you pay extra money for Eneloop.

Eneloop is cheaper than Eneloop Pro and has lower performance.

I would go with a bar mounted light if you can only afford or only want to get one light.

As far as actual recommendations, I can't help you there. Unless you're a hack like I am. All I did was buy a couple low end "tactical" flash lights, for like weapon mounting or what ever. A good one will run you 40 or 50 bucks U.S., will be water proof, shock proof, drop proof, dust proof, what ever, and will be PLENTY bright. Any ways, I bought two of these, a pack of these, and a couple pipe clamps I had laying around, and made myself a really decent lamp setup. I run one in the flood configuration so that I can see things from right at my front wheel, to about 2 meters in front of me, and then one in the spot configuration for objects from about 3 meters to 10 or so meters out.

I think you would be blown away at what an 18650 light would do for you performance-wise, but it might not be the most practical choice if you need to hold it in your mouth for long periods of time. Coupled with the fact it is infinitely easier to find an AA battery if you really need it for something mission critical. (Alkalines are not recommended for performance, cost and possibility of leakage.) They will work just fine in a pinch though.

The Thrunite T10 that /u/parametrek recommended will work with Alkalines, NiMH, or Li-ion. You could use the 14500 Li-ion to get almost double the output on high if that appeals to you (around 500 lumens), or use Eneloops as the preferred NiMH solution. A charger like this Nitecore D2 would charge both types and more.

Personally, I think you need both the Thrunite T10 and the Armytek Prime that /u/Zak recommended. Keep the T10 in your pocket for everyday even if not at work, and have the Armytek on your belt for on the job. Of course this is coming from an admitted Flashaholic.

^ Basically came to post this. LEDs have mostly swept away the other lighting methods- with the possible exception of oil lanterns, which can sit for decades and be ready for use.

You can cobble together an entire solar + battery + charger + flashlight system for $100-150 USD, if you shop around online (which isn't bad, if you buy an item or two here and there). I will also vouch for Anker, they make really good charging gear.

• Solar panel
  
• USB battery pack
  
• USB AA/AAA charger
  
• eneloops
  
• Flashlights: good n' cheap | better | hardcore
  
• Headlamps: simple | fancier

What kind of batteries are you using? I've had the same batteries since I got my XB1 in 2014 and they still last about a day and a half to 2 days worth of play for me. I leave my controller on a lot of the day since I use my Xbox just to talk to friends a lot without actually playing anything, so my controller is on at least like 5+ hours a day usually.

I just bought a couple sets and I rotate between them. I use Eneloops. More specifically, I have this. I've read that the charger can make a difference sometimes. I went with the official one and have had no issues. It charges them at the right rate and it stops charging completely when they're done so they don't over charge.
