[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Nice!! Glad I was wrong about this. :wink:
Looking forward to seeing it. I am interested too…… :slight_smile:

I know you’re supposed to use new batteries of the same brand, capacity and charge/discharge cycles for giggles. I have 8 sanyo 18650ga flat tops with 3500mah and they are both around the same amount of discharge/charge cycles. Does it have to be exact, or if it’s a couple off is that ok? Thanks all!

One of my GT's I bought specifically to get modded.

I'll go all out once someone figures out what all out is.

And hopefully someone out there would MOD my GT for me :D

Thanks once more to everyone on the team!
Brother in law cant wait for his!

Hello, what is the bin of utorch ut02 nw? could it be replaced by this in gt? regards

You could, if you reflow it yourself at this point

The low voltage protection is set high enough that they would have to be really out of balance for them to be damaged.

If they are around the same age, it should be ok.

Ideally though, each set of 4 cells in each carrier should match.

They just don’t understand the danger in it .

not sure if it was just because of my acct, but i just got the nitecore i8 8bay charger for $29 on amazon—for those of you looking for a 8 slot charger for this set of batteries

Oh, so the main thing is that each set of four have to match, but each set of four doesn’t have to match with each other?

Just to clear things up Cutter do not have any E2 3C XHP35 leds left in stock.

Rcvd the light today……holy hell is it big hahahaha still feels good in the hand tho. only one coating blemish in a heat ring that can be covered easily. Everything else appeared intact and without flaws. Battery tube was dirty but not an issue. Overall 110% satisfied with purchase!!! Thanks everyone for the great light.

One question though - Are the battery springs on the carries supposed to be so light pressure?

I thought that was the case when we checked in November.

The springs are a bit light when used with unprotected cells but are nice and tight with protected cells. Lumintop focuses on protected cells for their lights, so it kind of figured they would follow this design.

Personally I wish they were a bit longer to hold the unprotected cells a bit better but they are good enough. I have not had any issues with them.

It is best for all 8 to match but yes, as long as the 4 in each carrier match, you will be ok. I have been using both of my GT’s with 30q/HE4’s in 1 carrier and laptop cells in the other. Not officially recommended but it works fine.

Thanks guys! The BLF GT is incredible!!!

Received with cells.

Are these batteries supposed to be flat top, button top or doesn’t it matter?

They need to be button top or solder blobed. Or you could remove the protection PCB, although I would prefer to solder blob them.

Any information when registered 2 boxes with cells will be shipped to EU?
