As a material, PVC is certainly oil resistant. A cable jacket, though, can
be PVC-based and still have fillers or plasticizers that are oil-intolerant.
You need to find a manufacturer's data sheet to be sure.

I noticed no-one in what remains of the thread picked up on the 'diodes drop 0.6v' error. They do at one very low current, above that Vf goes up plenty.

They lie. The very best 26650 Li-Ion are the Panasonic NCR cells, which
are about 5000mAH. The Ultrafire cells would be typically 1/3 of that,
or 1600mAH. Likewise all the other *fire Chinese brands (TrustFire,

Chinese mAH are about as well defined as the currency.

It seems that even the better ones quote figures which should be mWH,
not mAH. At 3.7 volts, it makes a difference of a factor 3.7, which
seems about right.

Seriously to the OP, avoid *fire brands like the plague, apart from the

I have two identical flashlights.
One has a *fire battery, the other has a cell retrieved from a
very old and very dead
laptop battery pack. The *fire light is dimmer from the outset.
I only use the *fire light when I can't find the other one
and it still gets charged about twice as often.

I bought two brand new, still in the shrink wrap, 4000maH Ultrafires
and a charger for 25-cents at a garage sale.
After using them, I want my quarter back.
And the charger charges two in parallel. If you insert cells with very
different state of charge, sparks ensue. I never left it in that condition,
so I don't know how warm things would get.

Well I really do not know,
2 years ago I posted this here
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/sci.electronics.design/Re$3A$209V$20Battery$20or$202$20x$20AAA$20with$209V$20Converter|sort:relevance/sci.electronics.design/DbgPnYXfGcY/KndUBmUUj7AJ
(scroll down, it says:
"
here one of my flashlights, with battery out:
http://panteltje.com/pub/Cree_rechargable_flashlight_IMG_4478.JPG
Li-ion, rechargeable, 3.7V 3.2Ah, LED, has several brightness stages,
flashing mode too, came with charger.
I have several smaller Cree ones, those all have Eneloop AAA those,
and will still work a year after charging.
All ebay stuff.
The big Cree has as defect that it melted the plastic around the LED
when I left it on to test how long the battery lasted.
Now the beam looks a bit different...
"
So it delivered a real amount of power for a long time, the flashlight melted,
the batteries are still OK.
Fixed the flashlight, it was not properly assembled....
So far I have no complaints.
Since I took out the spare utra-fire battery just now,
I am recharging it in all by itself in that 2 x charger you mention
and that is still on.
No smoke from that area yet..
It was at 3.85 V, but OK..

Yes, sure I read those stories in the news of people getting burned to death or something using Li-ion or whatever...
There is one in every laptop?
Batteries is a consumable, I have plenty more problems with lead acid, be it sealed or
just normal car batteries, than with these Li-ions or lipos.

It is important that the flashlight works for a reasonable amount of time if you have not used it.

Since I DO use it more often .. I dunno, but this spare battery I am charging now
was still near almost? full, and that was a bad one.

I have eneloops in a smaller LED flashlight, those work OK too,
and are used several times a day, for example for inspection of stuff.

If yer life depends on it, then you need to keep several flashlights maybe with several battery technologies,
a fire maker, drinking water, gun to shoot deer, and of course your cellphone
to call for help.. ;-)

I do not normally buy at flee markets....
ebay is much better.

And that is my experience.

Maybe somebody should measure discharge times....
Maybe somebody has.

Still it may be different for different batches / sources.

You need to exercise extreme discretion. Think "brand-name" and

Well, do you actually have one?

Here is mine, now in use for almost 2 years:

And watch how well protected these are:
http://panteltje.com/pub/utra_fire_protected_against_almost_everything_IMG_5162.JPG

The flashlight melted at some point, but the batteries are still going strong.

I have not checked the capacity, but it sure did not go out prematurely,
One of these batteries that came with that flashlight has a bit more self-discharge, so I kept the good one in the flashlight,
and the bad one as spare, check the charge every now and then, came with charger too that actually works.

And I have no fear keeping this in my pocket.

And I'm sure it came by plane, how long does a steam boat from China take?
