The Efest dark purple 3000mAh cell is also on par with the Sony VTC6 and LG HE-2. There is also a dark purple 3500mAh cell in the Efest line that would work well for only slightly less output with more run time.
Fritz, am I right to assume that the anodize layer inside the battery tube will insulate the thin inner tube carrying negative current? Seems simple enough. I suppose the thin tube could also be anodized then have the ends cleared for contact, this might or should double the effective insulation against a short on negative. Just thinking out loud.
Also noticed the rib on the pcb end that will keep the slim tube from falling out when making cell changes, neat touch.
Folks, let’s make it a little easier for the organizer (The Miller in this case), whenever you’re putting yourself on any interest list, please be concise and unambiguous. Over the past year I’ve been on BLF, I keep seeing people use words like “at least”, “maybe”, etc.
How is the organizer supposed to know what you really mean? If you are undecided, come back and post after you make up your mind.
Indeed when it is not clear I either add a question mark or in case of “I want one with Nichia LEDs” or something I don’t add for it is specified as having something else then Nichias
Dale indeed the small inner tube needs anodization and you are right, it is not discussed but the outer tube will get ano inside and out making a nice double layer of insulation.
No plans for 18350/16340/14500/AA
The FW3A is so small yet has a 18650 for max runtimes
This is not a light for the faint of heart or people not aware of li ion safety. For us flashoholics without a lathe it is a real treat and sure the turbo will probably make those around us not understanding what we keep on talking about more understanding what we talk about
