    Panasonic 3400mah 18650 Cell Now Available!

    I have your four cells ready to ship, but I was unsure as to the correct address. Do you want them shipped to the 2nd address (Basalt) ? Thanks; LarryDFW

    Quality #18650 Batteries & Charger

    For applications where the high capacity is important, the 3400 mah Panasonic cells are back in stock. With all the shipments being returned, cells are in short supply still. LarryDFW P.S. Also have some 2900 mah hi-current cells available.

    Panasonic 3400mah 18650 Cell Now Available!

    Matt; That setup is fine. Just make sure the holes on the metal can don't short out the wires going to the cell, or it will be glowing RED HOT. LarryDFW

    Panasonic 3400mah 18650 Cell Now Available!

    Matt; If you have checked the charger AND the cells come out @ 4.1 VDC, then the charger should be fine to charge the 18650 cells. On a 1st charge, I would charge 3-4 hours and check the voltage. It should be 4.2 VDC for full charge. 4.25 VDC is the MAX fior this cell. Everybody working...

    LK-PD2 Laser Projector Review (picture heavy)

    Slyoung is correct. This is the basic pattern that you will normally use to align all three laser beams. Anybody who uses the projector frequently should be familiar with this screen, and adjusting the mirror mounts with hex keys to adjust the beam. LarryDFW

    Best way of cleaning G1 lens

    I agree. I have sold hundreds of aspheric lenses in the past. I used an ultrasonic cleaner with acetone, and finished with a microfiber cloth. The AR coating on a good lens is durable. LarryDFW

    Low-dropout driver for reds

    Grant; I have used the the LM1117 regulator for Reds with no problem (Dropout ~1.1 VDC). Just use a quality name-brand 18650 cell & you will be fine. LarryDFW

    LK-PD2 Laser Projector Review (picture heavy)

    Well, I hate to rain on this parade . . . but my LK-PD2 was not functioning when I received it. The Green beam was not even visible. After sending email to Linna, she asked me to send photos of the missing green in patterns. I sent the requested photos, and all I got back was requests for...

    Deal Extreme Shipping?

    The original problem with lithium cells in a cargo aircraft, was due to improper packaging of loose cells. The Chinese disguised cell shipments for a while, but now they have to sign off that lithium ion cells ARE NOT in their shipments or they can face jail time. Shipments are also X-Rayed...

    Do magnets interfere with drivers?

    We use a soldered button on our cells. It is shorter in overall length . . . and has lower resistance for better power. LarryDFW

    Battery question

    I also like the Panasonic cells. ;) Sanyo is another good brand. Stick to the name-brands. LarryDFW

    Panasonic 3400mah 18650 Cell Now Available!

    I don't buy cells from CN Quality. The shipping charges are too high. Since you adapted the existing 18650 cell you had to fit your laser . . . I refunded your order. I hope it IS a name-brand cell ! Larry

    Panasonic 3400mah 18650 Cell Now Available!

    Lithium Cell Update The shipping problems from China have created a big shortage of cells here in the U.S. I sold the last of the NCR18650B cells today (Nov.21st) I sold the last of the newer design NCR18650P series cells Nov.23rd. I have another shipment of Panasonic cells on the way...

    Panasonic 3400mah 18650 Cell Now Available!

    If the cell is a real Sanyo 2600mah, it will work OK in your laser. Voltage is the same on all lithium cobalt cells @4.2 VDC (full charge). The 3400mah Panasonic I sell will give you longer run times between charging. It has ~ 31% more capacity. They are available with Flat or Button-Top...

    Which batterie to use for best laser output

    Dr. Mario; Changing the driver board is a good idea, but with 9 posts, I am not sure lasermanXYZ is quite ready for the modifications involved. For hobbiests who are up to it; a pen driver with a switch has become available from lazeerer ...

    Which batterie to use for best laser output

    lasermanXYZ; Green pen-style lasers need 3 VDC @ up to 1/2 amp. My advice is to buy a larger pen that takes a single #18650 cell. They cost slightly more, but you will save far more than the difference in price, by using a quality rechargeable cell. With larger and longer lasting 18650...

    Panasonic 3400mah 18650 Cell Now Available!

    I agree with BShanahan . . . The low IR power cells should be cooler than regular cells. They might be charging faster with a given constant voltage being applied. That is one advantage of the NCR18650PF cells. How many amps are you charging at ? LarryDFW
