Leave a comment

⭐ 2/5 Stars – Too Weak for the CRF300L ⭐ Pricing info here. Performance & Reliability 🚲🔋 This lithium-iron battery had promise, but it just didn’t deliver for my Honda CRF300L.

For a small displacement dual-sport, I expected better, but this battery

I do love a good flashlight/torch and I use them regularly for work and around the farm. I also enjoy many of Dewalt’s 20V and 60V tools so I thought I would give this flashlight a try when it was on sale at woot.com (for ~$39). Here are my impressions
