Small Battery Life

Check out a 5 to 6 cell Mag light and replace the bulb with an LED equivalent. They can be had on Amazon or eBay for the battery capacity. Not only are the LED bulb replacements cheaper on amp consumption, but are brighter and will last a loooong time before having to be replaced.

Also, Mag light makes an LED version. But it may be cheaper just to buy the Mag light on eBay and the bulb.

led bulbs have been a bit of a game changer. I've noticed with my Milwaukee that a battery will be too dead to run a power toll but will run a led light for a few hours.

 

Good morning F22,

Yes, indeed, many societies worldwide used the original version of what we call the "swastika".

The symbol originate with basket weaving societies.

It's still a Buddhist symbol but the symbol uses vertical/horizontal bars; NOT the diagonal like the Third Reich used.

A few years ago when Dept of Veterans Affairs was adding grave headstone authorized symbols ... Wicca and some related belief systems started this ... the swastika was completely prohibited. The substitute was the Buddhist Wheel of Life symbol.

At one time I thought all symbols would be eliminated from new grave headstones. Now, my view is that new VA graves will be eliminated. (Arlington National Cemetery is not VA; the showcase is run by Dept of Army). The small burial stipend was eliminated ~ 5 years ago. It's getting expensive to die now.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL: Above background NOT taught in US public schools. Use sound descretion and prudence when in public with ANY symbol.

 

Very interesting. Thanks.

 

Our dependency on the aggressive nation of China for manufacturing materials must end. When it comes to materials for battery-manufacturing, something IS being done.

China needs a good kick in the teeth with a steel-toed boot. Hopefully efforts such as the one described in this article will be one of many that will help defund the People's Prison of China. Maybe Vietnam will fight to protect its ocean trade routes from being raped by China. Anything that injures China is a freedom victory for the people of our planet.
