ThruNite TC20 (Compact XHP 70.2) / Full review

Actually JJ approved……he is the yellow one that is always out there with me when I go to test the lights.

Cleaning the cell ends is a very valuable bit of information - it something that never occurred to me.

Just another reason I love BLF! :+1:

Thanks! I cleaned my TC20 and battery contacts. Made a noticeable difference.

For me the difference from high to turbo isn’t huge. Noticeable yes but hasn’t really been a “wow” moment.

Will do some cleaning and try again tonight. Also will try with an Lii-50A

Light is a cruel mistress.

To double the length of throw takes 4 times the amount of light, it’s an exponential investment that is ever elusive.

And this is, of course, the challenge.

I have been using my tc20 everyday with the shockli unprotected… oem 26650 is in my other flashlight that need protected… ( to be excat, manker u21 oslon black)…

Anyhow, i like this light… red indictator finally came on tonight… so thats mean its time to recharge… 3.25 v .

Glad you are liking this light. There is only one thing I see wrong in what you mentioned ………

“Anyhow, i like this light… red indictator finally came on tonight… so thats mean its time to recharge… 3.25 v ”

It sounds like you need to use it even more and get the new worn off , at least a charge every other day for the first week?……….LOL

I read a review of the Thrunite TC20 in the German amazon site in which the reviewer indicated he was using a Keeppower 27700
5700MAH battery and he posted a picture of it .Its 3.7V 21.09 WH

Does anyone know where I can get it in USA .anyone have experience with this battery?I imagine this would greatly increase the light life b4 charging.

Here is link to review and the link to the actual battery

Rambo007, why not just get the Shockli 26650? I tested the ones I have to be 5,800-5,900mah. They are known to be the best 26650 you can get as of now.

What about 26650 Orbtronic 5750 MAH unprotected?

First time recharging my 26650 shockli., it take forever at 1 amp.

These kinds of cells are the reason I got the MiBoxer C4-12, it charges 4 bays at up to 3A each. :wink: (Yes, that’s 12A total charging power!)

If I’m not mistaken the Thrunite built in charger can do up to 2A, so that would be quicker by a considerable margin than a 1A external charger.

Does anyone have a comparison shot with a D4? I’m looking for a light with similar throw/spill but more sustained output and I think this could be the ticket. 3000+ lumens from a big emitter and a tiny reflector though, it might be too spilly…

I have no problem charge T20 up to 2A, even my power bank can charge T20 up tp 1.6A. Average charge time is about 2 hours, not bad for charging 26650 size battery with build-in charger!

“The charts on the Lumens and amperage testing I did with the TC20…………….”

Were these deleted? I’m not seeing them.

I don’t see them either , but don’t have a clue what may have happened. Have you tried reposting?

Re post them? No I was referring to your charts…

I see how my post could be confusing, but this was your quote in the OP:

“The charts on the Lumens and amperage testing I did with the TC20…………….”

So it’s your charts I’m not seeing.

Sorry , my bad……….I did get the charts back up , but the rest of the pictures will not show no matter what I try. Something going on with the server maybe?

Thanks! Totally forgot there were photos too, hope you can get the problem resolved.

I think the charts are missing also in the Neutron 2C V3 review (I posted a comment about it there too)

No photos there either.

Photo / GIF and chart problem now resolved in 85% or so of my review threads. At least in the OP or the main review part of it so far. FINALLY !!!..….LOL
