The anodisation is quite hard it has Mohs hardness of 9, 10 would be diamond. And you can have different thicknesses of it
With lube it should last therefore years.
Hi all new guy here and my stupid question is what does 2SPS mean/stand for?
“Hi all new guy here and my stupid question is what does 2SPS mean/stand for?”
2S2P means 2 serial, 2 parallel, like this:
4S1P is 4 serial, 1 parallel, like this:
2SPS isn’t a thing in battery circuitry.
Thank you
Thanks joechina.
Are illuminated tail caps always ON?
Will a light with a twisting tailcap lockout turn the tail led on/off?
Thanks
A lighted tailcap is on when the flashlight is off. As soon as you turn the flashlight on, the LEDs in the tailcap turn off. When you twist the flashlight tail out, the lighted tailcap turns off, and accordingly the flashlight can no longer turn on. The lighted tailcap is on the same circuit as the flashlight.

That’s what I thought/figured.
Thanks for answering.
If I want to eliminate a thermistor, can I just connect the wires going to each end and bypass it with no resistance? I’m switching leds in my TM16GT from XPL HI to XHP35 HI. Not sure if eliminating the thermistor is such a good idea, but want to keep my options open. Since I’m going from a quad MCPCB to 4 individuals, I’d have to find a way to mount the thermistor. I could probably file down an old XPE star and mount it on there, then glue it down.
Does the protection circuit of a low voltage protected cell add resistance?
I have a protected 3000mah Thorfire 18650. If I use it in a light with a MOSFET driver am I limiting the potential output?
These protection circuits are pretty easy to remove, correct? (I’ve salvage lots of cells from power tool and laptop packs)
Thanks

I would say yes they do. You’ll get more from a non-protected cell. I’ve never had this happen myself, but I believe you can also trip the protection circuit with a FET or direct drive light. You can remove the circuit, but just be careful…all that stuff is connected really close, so it’s easy to short out with wire cutters or whatever tools you are using. You’ll most likely need to rewrap the cell when done.
Thanks WillyD
What robust tool(s) are experienced modders using to loosen sometimes very tight/chemically locked retaining rings?

I got a set of Tekton snap-ring pliers for that. Pretty good quality (I haven’t snapped the pins off yet ), excellent customer service.
Thanks lightbringer.

So you don’t choke on the bones, of course.

As a relative newcomer to this forum this has been a valuable thread for me. Both reading past posts and getting answers to questions I’ve posted. A lot of good information.
Thing is I think it would be a lot better if people stopped making jokes. It dilutes the information. If someone wanted to read past posts to see if their question has already been answered they’d have to sift through a bunch of blah blah blah.
I wasn’t going to say anything but maybe I’m not alone in this sentiment.
Anyways. Feel free to call me lame and a party pooper (or worse I don’t care). I’m a big boy. I can take it.
Thanks guys
