Oh and de-dome it, or get me to, when you can.

Hi, where’s a good place to source these batteries? I have four of the black ones (forget the name) and they’re seriously ten times better than the shit ones I’ve thrown away.
I need some more.

These are the ones you want. I think they are rebranded Panasonics

You will be able to find some cheaper elsewhere on Aliexpress but it will be lucky dip if they are genuine ones. Panasonic 3400 or 3500mAhr are what you want to drive the big Maxtoch torches

Eldarado, this is the de domed ass kicker ( until the uber thrower is finished

O have both, sadly the maxtorch is a couple of mm to wide in the head to fit in the pocket of my pack so the nitecore us been coming for walks lately ...

I'd avoid the Maxtoch charger and get a Nitecore.

Thanks for the help guys

I have Nitecore 3200 and 3500 in stock as well as D2, D4 and I2, I4 chargers.

Energizer

Here is a link to my favorite brand. I have been using some of their lights for over 4 years without any problems:

Here is my newest favorite from them:

This is a tiny light but at maximum it puts out 400 Lumens. It also has a green and red map light.

I like this one for hunting: https://www.nebotools.com/p/NIGHT-CO...od-Tracker/611

This is my bright one: https://www.nebotools.com/p/REDLINE-BLAST-RC/594

Best of all they use ordinary batteries, except the tiny one and I charge it from my laptop.

I see the Maxtoch prices have gone up about $50 USD for the 2x on AliExpress.... I waited too long

Just wait a bit longer again I'd say..

The way most sellers work on Aliex is to have a nominal 'full price' that is virtually never the actual price. The listing will nearly always be showing a 25-35% 'discount'. However they still need to very occasionally have it listed for the 'full price', maybe under aliex rules, just so they can say it's actually been sold for that. Consider it like an un-sale, where a couple times a year they raise the prices for a while rather than lower them.

Can anybody recommend a good torch that I could use for rabbits that doesnt have the ‘mode’ feature,ie IT JUST FUCKING TURNS ON AND OFF please.
Ahem.

marky123...my older ledlenser turns on full....next is reduced then off...... so good for spot lighting etc and only two clicks to off,the dimmer mode ok for walking.

Marky - I have a little Maxtoch that might suit. New model called the called the M1 Archer. Very small at 135gms but big power - max 575 meters - and just one mode.
