What cells have you tried? Any fitment issues? Can you measure the tube ID?
.
That would be unfortunate, but cells can vary slightly as can tubes, letās see what D_Pierre says. I wouldnāt have a problem doing a slight reaming of the tube if necessary. My LK Lii-50A meausre 26.7mm at their widest point.
That green one sure looks great. Love the shape and size of this flashlight.
Got me thinking on how to mod this oneā¦.
I would replace the driver for sure but also want to keep charging possibility. Is there a way to keep this driver only as a charging board and piggyback another driver on top? Which components should I remove (those which power the Led) and which to leave (to keep the charger function)?
Spent sometime with the light. Ramping time will take you 1s-1.5s to reach "High" (~70%) from lowest (visa- versa). However, if you ramp up to Turbo, it will take you rough 6s to ramp down.
I think the āTurbo Momentaryā is like the āTacticalā setting on the Q4 where the light remains on as long as you hold the button down. Press the button and itās on turbo. Release it and itās off. I guess you can signal that way.
Any cell with a protection circuit is going to add to the length. Hereās an unprotected flat top in the Maeerxu. Iād be worried about crushing the springs with anything longer. I think it was made this way to keep the light as short as possible, and has low voltage protection so you donāt need protected cells. Just like the Emisar lights.
Robert, exactly what unprotected flat top cell is that? Apparently thereās an issue with diameter, as the unprotected flat-top Littokalaās wonāt fit (too wide).
This is an iJoy 26650 purchased at Liionwholesale in Phoenixville, PA
This Aspire 26650 would work fine too. I think both the iJoy and the Aspire are made in the same factory.
I canāt imagine Littokala puts a wrapper on the cell that thick. Even a protected cell is going to be wider because of the copper connection strip and kapton tape running up the side of the cell under the wrapper.
My M8 measures 26.79mm ID.
And you can see how much longer a protected cell is. This is an Acebeam 5000mAh protected 26650
Itās splitting hairs but apparently your tube is .29mm wider than Dirty Pierreās. If I get one like yours it should fit the Lii-50A just barely. Or even close to that ID will be easier to ream it out.
The Lii-50Aās measure 26.6mm most of the length, but there is a wider band about 3mm in height at the very top thatās 26.77
I-joyās look pretty good but out of stock currently, but those and the Aspire are kind of expensive compared to what I paid for the Lii-50Aās
Well the iJoy and aspire batteries are true 30 amp batteries, and would get to you the day after you ordered it being that youāre in Pennsylvania as well. Personally I donāt buy batteries from China we have them all here in the US.
