The problem with ebay is you never really know what your going to get. Could be legit cells or could be fakes. That’s why no one buys from ebay. Have you checked if Banggood, Gearbest or Fastech can ship cells to Sweden?
No, this is a common problem with these new Cree “.2” LEDs. Your’s might be a defective one. A few people had problems with the XHP50.2 when it came it.
I have not seen this happen as like the 50.2, yet? I would try to re-flow it with a bit more solder paste, I had one 70.2 do the same thing, well almost, flickering , low out put, testing on the rock, re-flowing it took care of it. The other thing was too much heat during the re-flow the solder mask turn color ever so slightly and the 70.2 ended up dying. I re-flowed another keeping better attention during the process, all went well!
I know they are, I recently bought some batteries from them, and NKON and the batteries are reliable!
Took some days (a week, maybe) to arrive but were tracked and came well packed. The shipment is a bit pricy, though…
yes that is the question, does anyone here using those type of flat batteries without having to add this solder? im looking at nkons batteries keeppower but says they are not for flashlights so im not sure… come on simon make a new version of the l6 that takes either flat or not its too confusing what batteries will work or not. u guys must think i am an total idiot lol.
I use the flat top Liitokala 26650s the “naughty” way with a button magnet and nylon washer between the batteries.
Unless the drivers don’t have a spring anymore (too lazy to look back through the thread to look) the flat top has no problem connecting at the top to the driver.
It’s not Simon’s fault. Cree made the xhp70 only run at 6 or 12 volts, not 3 because it would pull too many amps at 3. Then a single lithium battery doesn’t have enough voltage. You have to use 2 in series to get the voltage up high enough.
I think what you really need to ask for is some type of standards in batteries. It’s like the wild wild west with lithium batteries. No standard sizes or shapes like D cell or AA. So we just have to do our best to find cells that fit our needs.
Don’t forget, there is also this little Jaxman series adaptor you can use.
