05:04 <arossdotme> why are li-ion torches discharging batts to 2.8v! are there any that stop at 3.2v? :(

06:04 <DocScrutinizer05> 3V2 down to 2V8 doesn't earn you much, so it's just a consideration how much wear&tear you accept for a 3 minutes longer operation, basically

06:52 <wpwrak> have you ever watched an action movie where the last few _seconds_ of remaining light weren't absolutely decisive ? so these 3 minutes of extra power are crucial. after all, what good does a healthy battery do you if the alien has just eaten you ? :)

13:06 <arossdotme> heh yea but in my case my problem is eating up batterys cus i damaged them, so then they dont last long in the first place! in my dad life i want batterys to have a good life time and not have it reduced from accidentally leaving it or or just not knowing how discharged it was. cus then you need even more batterys cus all there capacity is wrecked so you have to carry more for the same cap. if therse a scarry alien then yes, activate

13:06 <arossdotme> emergency mode! sod it at that point 2.8v it is then :)

13:06 <arossdotme> dad life=day to day

13:07 <arossdotme> dad= typo

13:07 <arossdotme> heck 3.5v for to walking the dog use :)

14:11 <DocScrutinizer05> yes, makes a lot of sense

14:12 <DocScrutinizer05> nothing wrecks Li batteries more than deep discharge
