Dear all,

I wanted to buy Fenix PD31 R5 for my dad. My prob is the battery, I will prefer rechargeable, I tried to read about batteries but really confuse. So can someone point out to me:
1. it's best to use rechargeable 2xCR123 or 1x18650?
2. i read if mishandling of such battery will cause burn/explosion?
3. what's the thing i need to take in consideration when charging battery, ie after full charge must off switch immediately or can leave it there for few hours extra?

I come across battery in ebay such as this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...T#ht_3026wt_905
is it save to use?

Thanks in advance!

I guess if you use Paypal, Zebralight will eat the cc charges, haha, but dealer have to buy the charges. Anyway, Zebralight is well know to slow response in query and shipment.

I see, sigh. Slow eh? I seen their shipment status 2 - 6 weeks. Kinda slow. Any other alternative?

I assume your Lithium is Energizer AA Lithium , right? which will measure about 1.7-1.8V, while Alkaline AA is 1.5V++, but all LED needs around 3.5V-3.7V Vf to fire it up, so both Lithium 1.8x2=3.6V and AA 1.5x2=3.0V need to boost up to meet the minimum Vf of the LED, so if the LD20 is a boost only light, they will be not much different for both batteries in terms of brightness, but Lithium run time should be longer.

Do not use 2 14500 Lithium ion in the LD20, it will fried unless it has buck driver too.

trying to utilize a star mounted sst50 led on my p7 mag. is it safe to just place the star on top of the p7(no star board) heatsink? or is there a way to take the sst50 out from the board?

I am not 100% what is the P7 you mean, the SSC P7 LED mounted on "no star board"??
If you can remove the P7, then u can mount the Star-SST50 into it, if cannot, maybe this is what you mean, the star too big? If that is the case , you need to desolder the SST50 from the Star... I wonder how you desolder the P7 from the mag?

It is easy if you know the way to desolder, but definitely not the usual way, because the LED was solder underneath the SST50, so you can't access using soldering iron. More info please, or you can catch me in the DIY section in http://thebrightsideforums.com
