hmmmm that would make one serious brake light on a motorbike :?:

were did you purchase them from? more than likely dodgy branded cells. If you look on the DX site they have high capacity cells and then small print underneath to say they are only rated at 1800mAh.
see here 2500mAh batteries – overview they are only 1800mAh !! how do they get away with it?

Hi Phut,

I can build you a Li-Ion battery and also charger no problems. Please email me direct as I'm pretty busy at the minute. smudgemtbukataoldotcom

Yeah, but great to see Kim back, even if it is for a few episodes

Well done Vortex 8) job well done

Hi Takisawa2
Not worth it as I would have to prize open the case to get the old cells out and getting it to fit back together again and also fit back into youre laptop is too much hassle. Sorry

That will make his day the perp has left a note though.

I'm writing this note and people are walking past are thinking i'm leaving my insurance details. But in reality i'm just saying you a great Uncle **** leaving you're car here, what did you expect 8)

Hi Devs,
The standard male/female ones. But they are moulded both ends if that helps at all. I could supply with a length of sleeving that may help in keeping the cr4p out

*edit*
2.1mm lead with male/female 1.5M long
£2.75 inc p&p

Smudge

Hi Jordie,
It's a 2.1mm lead you need. I now stock them. (male/female extension lead)
£3.50 inc postage.
Please email me for more info

Email me Goan, (Addy in profile) I have a few compatible chargers and batteries built up.

Sorry for a mini rant, but I would never build/sell or use a Li-Ion battery with protection. The Circuit protects against under discharge, over charge, over current and also short-circuit. They are there for a reason.
What if the charger develops a fault and continues to charge the cells above their end of charge?

Just be very careful

From experience, I send most first class recorded. one guy after 12 days still hadnt received his battery and without hesitation (ok I did give it 12 days) I built up and posted a replacement. He was more than happy and spread my word further :wink: good karma is priceless

Yes,
plastic bag time or email me in a few weeks time :lol:

Thanks for the replies guys, plenty to go on there

I really cant believe how bad these are when they get even the slightest bit wet.
I would suggest anyone just bought one to pop it into a plastic bag before using it on their first ride.

Also its not the norm to ship Li-ion fully charged, only at 30-50% max.

As for the green light showing straight away, twist the connectors round whilst connected to see if the led changes to red. the connectors may not be 100% round.

I have ready made 4.4Ah and 5.2Ah batteries and chargers if anyone has grief from DX or wants to upgrade

Hip/Gizman. if you want to send me the problem battery and charger I can check it over for you and resleeve the battery if its repairable.

I built an external Li-Ion Battery for my E-trex Legend that lasted for days! but I drilled a small hole into the empty battery case and just soldered wires onto the pos and neg battery terminals inside. This also resolved it occasionally switching off mid ride.

To do your's & others i'd need to know the wiring configuration of the connector first.

find this though replacing garmin battery[/url] so you could possibly fit a bigger capacity battery inside

what about this on ebay mp4 player with AV in

Well done guys, This is what forums are all about.

You want to organize a singletrack 'homebrew light' nightride 8)

I still a few 4.4Ah batteries made up for DX lights. More 5.2Ah due in next week.
Please enail me for more details.
All batteries are double sleeved and silicone used around the cable exit from the battery.

As gingerflash, popped in as I saw a helmet I wanted £20 cheaper on the web. What I didnt realise at the time it was an online price only.
Picked helmet up took to till and I questioned the price.
"Sorry online price only".
I'm here now and didnt realise, can i still have at it the online price?"
"No, its on line price only"
Yes, youve just told me, this doesnt help me as i'm here with cash and helmet in hand and would have to then pay postage"

wait for it……….

"You can go home order online and arrange to pick up in the shop"

"So you now want me to go home, order online and came back to pick this helmet up that I have in my hand?"

"Yes, sir"

Even the guy behind me chuckled.

Amazing

What do you think of the battery bag that holds these batteries?

I have an opportunity to buy quite a few for my own stock/use but if their naff I wont pursue it.

I'm waiting for the memorymap adventure 2800 to come out. Looks like it might be the answer to the maps

its like garlic bread… it's the future, ive tasted it along with 70+ other troutlighters 8)

I really did not need to click this link 8) trying to convince mrs smudge into a van, would have to be the cabin type with seats behind.. "just think of all that extra shopping you can get into the back" :wink: :lol: keep em coming 8)

Here you go the DX Compatible Li-Ion Battery that a few have already bought from me. Built from high quality 2.6AH cells,the lead is approx 1 metre long, this can be shortened or lengthened on ordering.

Please email me for more details if you are interested as they are built to order.

Like I said My batteries are as waterproof as I can make them and those bags look ideal. BUT I would still suggest putting the batteries in a re-sealable sandwich bag first.

Off to clear out declathlon in the morning :-)

thanks Rob
