I’m thinking your flickering problem might be the included battery. I’m running a test on mine at the moment, and the resistance is off the chart on these, in the 285 to 300 range. Try another 16340 unprotected cell and see if it still flickers.
You are correct, after I charged the included battery the light works fine. It was less than half charged when the light flickered. I also tried with a fully charged Olight 650mah and Eagtac 750mah but the light would just turn off after a few seconds. Seems like this light needs a good high drain capable battery to work good.
Mine will only charge up to 3.84v, and has a capacity of 350mAh. Removing the charging circuit reveals that it’s not a 16340 battery. It’s a 16300 with a usb cap on top. There goes Klarus’s “Rechargeable Mi1C” claim… lol
The light is still a really nice light, but even with the usb cap off, it still measures 300ohm resistance. Junk battery
The Olight S1 Mini’s micro-USB battery is the same thing - a 16300 battery with the recharging/protection circuit that brings the length to 34mm. In fact, they might be the exact same battery, just rewrapped.
But yours sounds defective. Mine charges to 4.20V just fine, and has a capacity somewhere north of 600 mAh (didn’t have the patience to do a full test cycle).
Still not received mine - which is a bit worrying, since it was supposed to have shipped over a month ago, and deliveries from China usually take 2 weeks to get here.
Cu came in the mail 1-24 Ti came 1-25. both ordered on 1-1.
Nice little lights. They are smaller than I was expecting, about the same size as well used ITP A1 EOS. The UI is good to.
The Cu version is a lot heavier than the Ti version. Decent beam pattern to.
Be warned, the battery goes in + down, I think it’s the first light I every owned that the battery goes in upside down.
Thanks for the deal Freeme. :+1:
