Ok so long story short, i went to the local forrest preserve with my MFLB for the first time with a couple of buddies. I entered with 2 batteries, but 6 trenches and 3 hours later, i somehow left with 1. So basically i am in need of some new batteries because simply 1 is not nearly enough for me. What type of battery is the best replacement for the standard MFLB batteries? I was looking at Walmart.com and came upon these Walmart.com: Energizer AA NiMH 2500MA Rechargeable Battery: Batteries Would those work fine if i peeled the label and used goo gone for the glue? Also any other suggestions on batteries would be awesome. Thanks GC
I got these batteries and charger, and they work better than the stock ones. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Rechargeable-15-Minute-Charger/dp/B000GF2L7E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296057765&sr=8-1]Amazon.com: Energizer Rechargeable 15 Minute Charger: Health & Personal Care[/ame]
Powerex 2700 http://www.vaporpedia.com/wiki/Magic-Flight_Launch_Box#Batteries The one thing I do disagree with in the link above is the suggestion to use a 15 min. charger. While it's ok to do this in emergencies, using a 15min charger all the time WILL decrease their life and your batts will wear out prematurely and this is true regardless of which type of battery you use. It's best to charge your batts at a rate that takes from one to four hours. Of course, if you don't mind buying batteries all the time, have at it.
So if i buy these from amazon [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Powerex-2700mAh-Rechargeable-Batteries-holder/dp/B0009H5VVM]Amazon.com: Powerex AA 2700mAh NiMH Rechargeable Batteries w/holder- 4 Batteries Per Pack: Electronics[/ame] Would i still be able to charge them in the charger that came with the MFLB? I've tried to look this up, but typical internet found hundreds of different answers. Thanks for that link lwien, i thought i knew everything about my MFLB untill i read that. Edit: Nevermind, re-read that link and found out my answer haha.
i didn't feel like creating a whole thread for this, could you guys tell me what type of grinder I need to use the MFLB at its best? i'm in the market for a new grinder, the old one I used with it didn't grind it fine enough.
Turn your grinder upside down to grind finer.....as fine as you want, the longer your grind upside down the finer the grind.
Turning a 4 piece grinder upside down is inefficient, so at the very least, get a good quality, small metal grinder(Space Case is the best). But like Lwien said, LB owners have found the most success from coffee grinders that can get your herb very fine, almost powder like.
Get an Energizer 15-minute charger, and go to your local BattieriesPlus and pick up some Powerex 2700 MaH batteries. They come with a free plastic case (I'm sure you already know this, but when you are carrying NiMh batteries in your pocket, you absolutely need them in a case.)
Like I said previously, if you want to prematurely wear out your batteries, than use that 15 minute charger every day.
MFLB reccommended that set up themselves. The Powerex 2700s are a type of battery that's made to be charged in 15 minutes. It's High Self Discharge.
WRONG !! Even Maha themselves recommend that their batteries be charged at between .5C to 1C which equates to a one to two hour charge. Check out the following forum for the most comprehensive information regarding batteries and chargers. The site is composed of people that are both police and firemen that depend on the batteries in their flashlights to save lives. The site also has various manufacturers and electrical engineers that are active there including those from MAHA.......the manufacturers of the Powerex 2700's Flashlight Electronics - Batteries Included Can you use 15 minute chargers? Sure you can, but you WILL wear them down prematurely regardless if they are LSD or HSD batts.
