Thats because of the voltage curve of a LithiuhmIon/Lithium Polymer Cell. I cell will typically produce a peak voltage of 3.6 volts, but not be considered discharged till around 1.6 volts. Most devices will NEVER drain a lithiumXXX rechargable cell unless they are designed specifically for them, OR, there is a DC-DC converter inside the battery pack. LithiumX rechargables just are not a suitable drop in replacment. FYI.. u mm, 2 cr-v3 Lithium batteries are not rechargable. I'm not sure where you are getting that lithium batteries are rechargable. :/ I suspect you mean lithium ion, and yea, a drop in system would not work out very well. -- rebirth of the kool one roman.blakout.net http://roman.blakout.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Ben 'Polyhead' Smith KE7GAL -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Christmas Spirit
Although I'm usually a Scotch drinker, I opted for a bottle of Labrot Graham Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select Kentucky Bourbon this year. Very nice sipping whiskey. Somehow, rich bourbon says holidays to my palate. I also allow my wife a thimbleful in her eggnog along with a bit of cognac:-).

Re: Rechargeable batteries and chargers
I never had much luck with Nimh batteries in my D or my flashes until Rob mentioned the La Crosse charger. It charges each cell individually, so each reaches peak voltage. It also can be used to discharge and to cycle/refresh the batteries. I use it with 1200 Sony batteries for my flashes, and they perform beautifully. In my D, which is rarely in service, I use the long shelf life lithiums. No hassle. Here''s the charger. It's on sale at Amazon: http:// www.amazon.com/Crosse-Technology-BC-900-AlphaPower-Battery/dp/ B00077AA5Q/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8s=home-gardenqid=1198691173sr=8-3 On Dec 26, 2007, at 10:22 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: Scott Loveless escribió: Who's using rechargeable AA or AAA batteries, and which batteries are you using?

I use them in my flash unit and in my wireless keyboard and mouse now. They have always worked flawlessly. In the DS bodies, they regularly turned 600-700 exposures per charge. I have yet to exhaust a set from a fresh charge in the flash unit, but I only rarely use the flash unit for more than a couple dozen exposures at a session.

OT: Spirit Snobs
Well, Tom has a point in that our discussions of booze sometimes border on the pretentious. But it is fun to discuss spirits we've tried and enjoyed. There have been times when I've been able to afford them and times when I haven't. But even in tough times, I enjoy hearing what others enjoy. These times are tough times in Michigan. While I still make exceptions for the holidays, my scotch whiskey of preference for ordinary occasions is usually Lauders. It's the best scotch that comes in a plastic bottle. Twenty dollars and twenty-one cents for a half gallon at most outlets in Michigan. A bit less pricey than Lagavulin, which rings in at about seventy bucks a fifth, and it has the same mellowing effect. It also tastes a lot like some of the best blends. I'd say it's a cross between Johnny Walker Red and Dewars. Not as peaty as Dewars, which is my favorite blend, but quite palatable. Not a bad whiskey by any measure. No big sacrifice on my part. And should I drop it, the plastic bottle doesn't break.:-) Paul -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: OT: Spirit Snobs
Sipping an eggnog spiced with a bit of Lauders as I write this... I actually prefer Lauders to Chivas Regal. I have bought a few bottles of single malt in my day, usually in airport Duty Free shops. But I have never bought any of the really high dollar Scotch. My experience there comes courtesy of a friend who has a magnificent collection of Single Malts. When I visit, he turns me loose on that corner of the house. (He has eight drinking stations around the house, two for rums which is his drink of choice). McCallan 25 year is to die for. But it would be a lottery- winning day or a retirement celebration before I would buy a bottle... stan (aka cheap drunk) On Dec 26, 2007, at 9:58 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Well, Tom has a point in that our discussions of booze sometimes border on the pretentious. But it is fun to discuss spirits we've tried and enjoyed. There have been times when I've been able to afford them and times when I haven't. But even in tough times, I enjoy hearing what others enjoy. These times are tough times in Michigan. While I still make exceptions for the holidays, my scotch whiskey of preference for ordinary occasions is usually Lauders. It's the best scotch that comes in a plastic bottle. Twenty dollars and twenty-one cents for a half gallon at most outlets in Michigan. A bit less pricey than Lagavulin, which rings in at about seventy bucks a fifth, and it has the same mellowing effect. It also tastes a lot like some of the best blends. I'd say it's a cross between Johnny Walker Red and Dewars. Not as peaty as Dewars, which is my favorite blend, but quite palatable. Not a bad whiskey by any measure. No big sacrifice on my part. And should I drop it, the plastic bottle doesn't break.:-) Paul -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

There's a BIG difference between the Glenlivet Nadurra and the Glenfiddich Ancient Reserve vs. their undistinguished 12 year old cousins that you find in the supermarket. Greater age can bring an incredible complexity and refinement to a great single malt. At our house we celebrated with some 18 year old Highland Park and 12 year old Balvenie Doublewood, followed by a wonderful Deerfield Ranch 2001 Super T-Rex red with the roast lamb...

We're not buying any more Scotch, though, until we've finished off a few of the bottles on the shelves; over the years we seem to have built up quite a respectable collection. That includes Laphroig, Highland Park, Tallisker, Lagavulin, Islay, Bowmore, seven different variants on the Glenmorangie theme, etc. - over two dozen examples to choose from.

Re: OT: Spirit Snobs
Last spring I bought a set of eight tasting sized samples of single malt scotch, very small bottles sufficient for a 5-8 person tasting, some of which were of 18 and 25 year olds that I knew were quite good but a fifth bottle of which ran $100-260, the others ran in the $30-70 range. I invited friends to a tasting and we went through them. To my delight, Glen Rothes Select Reserve, about $45 or so per fifth, was one of my favorites. I roll in the gutter with the rest of the plebs, I guess. ]'-) Since a fifth bottle lasts me typically 3 months, the way I pay myself back for the luxury is go out for two fewer espresso coffee drinks per week.
