Well shoot. I know 2x 18350 will work (or in my case 2x 16340 because that’s what I have), I was hoping to increase battery capacity though, since 2x 18350 is less than even 1x 18650. I wonder if I can open up the driver opening for one of the H1-A 20mm boost drivers.
Hahaha cunning you
Don’t like gifting li ion lights without good internal charging
A clear S2+ with the mangled driver (desoldered some chips) and wide tir optics would be something she’d like for sure, hmmm
Speaking of built in charging, I have a prototype BD02 running Biscotti and man is that one sweet light! Didn’t expect to like it so much. Throwy little sucker! Like a C8 but with built in charging and a little more aesthetically pleasing and of course the oh-so-elegant stainless side switch. :money_mouth_face:
Just got my C8 from Gearbest. The 12 modes works fine and I can select any of them with ease. I just cannot disable or turn off memory. After 10+ taps then 1 blink then 1 buzz then 2 blinks then 1 buzz—- I click and nothing happens (memory still on). If I repeat the procedure then tap (instead of click)— same result (memory still on).
One thing to check is whether it still behaves that way without the tailcap on. Like, if you put a wire or something between the rear end of the battery and a non-anodized* part of the host (rear edge of the tube), is it able to forget the mode? If you leave it alone for a full minute, can it forget? In either case, it may be that the driver is discharging too slowly.
Also, you probably know this, but tap during the “buzz”.
Maybe I can get this 8x7135 driver tested today. It has two capacitors for some reason, and I suspect it might discharge slowly, which would make the button press window longer and make no-mem mode take longer to “forget”. (would be nice if the driver hardware would stop changing in unexpected ways)
* The “clear” hosts are actually anodized; they just have silver dye to make them look bare.
