Epic salvage from a dead Ryobi pack
Pack would not take a charge. 2 cells were dead, the rest are perfectly fine. I got this pack for free from someone.

Not sure if I am excited or dissapointed. I just opened this a few minutes ago and I was rather unimpressed. First, the anodizing is much smoother and glossy than most of the reviews. Second the beam was absolutely atrocious. The hotspot was a complete square and the corona was lopsided and very ugly. I tried installing a convoy butterfly gasket which was a little thicker and it made the issue worse so I decided that the only other option was to remove the gasket entirely. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting but boy was it better! Absolutely zero artifacts and no corona!!!! The hotspot is a bit wider and will likely throw less but it's a fair trade off.
I will post a 1 month update/review once the time comes.
Thanks for reading!
