Haha! Just drop it at Dannie's and soon it'll come out different. Our hands are too itchy anyway. =D


Aww man... That's horrible! Hope you get it soon man. The triple XP-E R2 is just WOW!


Hey porkchop (lol),
You can charge a li-ion batt anytime. There won't be too much bad effects.


Err susuman, actually a full 100%>0%>100% is considered one load-cycle. That means a total discharge and charge. if you use to 80% then use 5 times is considered one load-cycle.

E.g. my laptop battery:
load-cycle = 351 <<(It has been thru 351 full discharges in total)
age = 26 months
current battery capacity = 4533 mAh (90%)

Its depends on the battery sometimes, some battery just perform battery than other.

My old IBM notebook will record anything less than 80% as 1 cycle, your notebook will only record 1 load cycle if its run down to 0%??? What notebook you are using? As far as I know, the Li just don't like full discharge, it will shorten the life of the battery. in your case, your notebook seems to hold charges just even 351 full discharges, I am impressed, You always use it outdoor? Wonder how to manage a 351 cycle, haha then the notebook must worth it lar. Most of the time I just plug my adapter, hardly use the battery, and almost never run down to 0% intentionally.

Oh yeah, some notebook or phone recommend to discharge full (run flat) once every 2 months is to allow the electronic/software in the machine to gauge how much charges it has in it. Not really exercising the battery.

351 cycle and still has 90% capacity, you lucky to have a set of good batteries.
I had a 8 year old notebook has this performance maybe 70-80%, they are also 1 old notebook just has 30-50% after 1-2 years.

Hrm, what I understand from Silverfox is that once a battery is discharged to 80% of its initial capacity (whichever the amp hours), it is considered a cycle, regardless if it's lower.

Although about having more cycles (not because of a mathematical calculation, maybe chemistry), he stated in his comment from a lab test, that you can get more cycles doing partial discharge to 65% then charge again, instead of bring it down to say 0% for example.

According to batteryuniversity, a load-cycle is a full discharge-charge cycle. Which means that if you use to 50% the charge then use to 50% then charge then it's considered 1 load-cycle. Wonder which is right? Mine surely records a full capacity charge and discharge before reading 1 load-cycle.

I dun run it to 0% lol. Since I'm using more than 2 years already, and using everyday, surely it's more than 351 load-cycles if any discharge to 80% is considered 1 load-cycle.

My laptop is a black Apple Macbook. It's lithium polymer. I use it everyday in the office with the batteries cos no plug point at my desk. =(

Ps. I take good care of my batteries. =D

Hi~

This thread might be of interest to anyone.

Especially those who wants to push the LED boundaries. =)

note: this page is where the XP-G and SST-90 testing is. Check out the XR-E too!

Hmm, interesting to find out more info and opinion about discharge cycle. Anyway Walter got a good battery, maybe bcoz it is Li-Polymer?? For normal 18650 liCo, you can expect it to degraded after 300 cycles.

Haha, wei, pull a extension to your desk lar. Though you have a good set of battery, but not good to stress it like that isn't it?

Hey guys, my friend for an M6 guardian for sale!

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry31953644

rm1.2k brand new sealed!

Haha. Li-Po should behave almost exactly like LiCo just a little bit more capacity in a square shape. =D

I dun like to keep the batt 100% charged. It's not good for the batt. =D (I think so la)

Yea the lithium polymer batteries are known to have more life cycles than lithium cobalt. And can be made in different shapes so it seems. But still as sensitive like Li-co to danger and suffer cycle loss from overcharging and overdischaring too.

Hey guys.. Nice gathering man! My internet has been down since saturdy. Now im at a friend's place.

But great gathering. Love my M6+P7 now haha. LOVE FLOOD LIGHTS!

Guess wat, I made my own FO4 diffuser for my E1B. Will post it up whwn my internet at home is up and running

Heh~ Good thing you didn't decide to sell it. See? Give it a chance!

Now you gotta get a SST-90 or 50 in there. Heee!

Hey who was I talking to about the special anodized Nitecore D10 the other day??

There is still the patriot and whetstone editions available (for a very expensive price). Lol.

Ahemm...i think that must be Dannie lolz
Give the link...i wan see.

No la, it's not Dannie. Someone else.

Ohhh that....then it's not Dannie.

Must be rachel
She should create an account and log in here to say hi or something


Btw, about your LD10 UE version, Direct Drive XPG - As I recalled our test comparison at GW2U, the voltage on the 14500 was at around 3.9v? And drawing ~700mA..
I am still very surprised with how efficient the heat management on that mod with AW 14500 (talking about this battery only). Even with lower vf than XRE or XPE. Running DD with 14500 on an XRE can get really hot, but not on the XPG it seems. Is it because the XPG tolerances can take up to 1.5A? Or is it really because of the thermal compound mixture used? I think it's both. But what do you think? It looks like the XPGs can really be driven harder with the proper thermal compound and heatsink designed used.

Reminds me that Lightjunk's tripple XPG DD with 18650 with that awesome customed heatsink design is gonna rock the world!

Hehe, gatherings can help a community grow Eye opener, can learn lots of things or just chill. Right damonlbs?

Btw guys, we are reaching nearer to V4. When we get there, I'll be migrating some of the important sections that matters only. Such as Dealer info, Collections, Battery info, reviews and maybe some other. Not all sections will go.

Newspaper, I'll let you know when I want to create V4, so we'll do it on a day both of us are online at the same time and you can reserve your GB posts.

huuh......?

Mr. President, appreciate if you not make my previous collection as the anchor image in V4. Please give that honour to some of the other guys here. It's has been an honour to have been the anchor image for V3. My collection have shrunk very much due to the recent sale and more stuff will be on the chopping block again soon.

alantch: Dude, u getting a polarion? Saw it in ur sig.

Anyways, seems like a possible good buy guys.

Flashmax G175 5 x Cree XR-E

Only Rm170...crazy...and including 2 18650s and charger.

There's a local guy selling for RM285
