    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    I've found another surprise 10-hr battery!!! and very SOON I'll be posting another updated spreadsheet so keep a look out for that! Also, the test are winding down now, I've only got a couple more to test to conclude the test, and I think its safe to say at this point that the only TOTAL...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Okay, lets take a look at what would be considered a HIGH DRAIN device for a single aa battery to operate. I've go this little pocket single cell (aa) flashlight compliments of my other older brother LoL! (its really nice to have to old brothers to help you along in life) Anyway, this light has...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Well, I've gotten several new battery results added to the spreadsheet and as promised here is a screenshot of the latest findings. and I'm not at all impressed with the high dollar Bunny Industrial's, I mean they didn't flop, but they didn't impress either!! One new battery in the list did...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Okay, let me see if I can illustrate what the difference is when a battery's voltage is tested without being under a load, and then what the reading is once the same battery is placed under a load. In this picture I'm holding a Tenergy new aa battery in my hand holding the meter leads to the...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Low Drain, High Drain, and My Drain!! How this breaks down and how does what I'm doing compare to real world devices? To a power source (battery) an electrical device even a flashlight is a "Load" and current going through the load of course can be measured, and the 4.7ohm resistors I'm using in...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Thanks for dropping by, but give me some time to adjust to this forum's new format, this is the very first time I've seen it, so, I'm in a foreign land???? Okay, my test is testing single battery in groups of four for an average of them. Each battery has its own 4.7ohm resistor wired into the...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Here is the deal. The other day I started what I would call a real world aa Alkaline Only battery drain test. The goal was to use a FIXED known load wired into a 1 slot aa battery holder with leads. I used a 10watt 4.7ohm resistor for the load for each. I checked the voltages out of the pack...

    F70 users! My Brother Gave me A Homework Assignment

    First! I spent an evening doing air test, in the house! and everybody knows that air test depth measurements DO NOT CARRY OVER TO REAL IN THE EARTH DEPTH!! and were not trying to say it does. But! for silver coins there isn't anything about DIRT that would make the detector have greater depth...

    WV62 Ask; Is My Tejon Okay?

    Big brother, on both the Tejon's I had and even on the Vaquero I calibrated the disc control knobs so that both disc one and disc two scales matched (this sounds a little like your problem). I removed both discrimination control knobs and got a nickel and I set the disc controls at the point...

    This Should Be Good News For Us Treasure Hunters!

    From the information I got from the weatherchannel dot com the sun is in what they call a "Solar Minimum" which is a solar cycle where the sun has no solar spots, nor solar flares. Its the solar flares that disrupt electronic communications and messes with other types of electronics. They claim...

    Ground Balance question for ALL F70 users?

    This seemed like a good idea to me, but now I'm having second thoughts about it because I'm not sure if the ground balance setting will carry over from program 2 to program 1. Let me explain! I thought it a good idea to use the program 2 to store a group of settings in the Auto Tune mode to use...

    First Test Run With My F70 :wiggle:

    Well this evening I was able to get out with my F70 for its first trial run. I only had a couple of hours before dark so I picked a local ball field where I had recently found a lot of clad for the size of the area. The F70 really surprised me with its ability to ping nickels, in fact I was...

    Anybody tried sealing the heel caps on the early version F75 coils

    I bought a used one and knew that the early versions of the coil were known to leak water into them, so in the revised addition they added external sealant to the seams. So I got up the nerve to seal this one, it came out really nice. I used the slow set 90 minute epoxy and a wooden match stick...

    Its all Mud's fault! he made me do It.

    Well, "firefitr227" has to wear his part of the blame too! I've sold two detectors and now I'm getting an F70. Its a used one but I had the seller send it to First Texas for a little cosmetic details and a checkup first (he included my contact information), so, I'll be getting it direct from...
