Yep, all the charging circuit was in the carrier itself, and it had some seriously bad parasitic drain and balance charging flaws they could not fix. Never bought another Acebeam since.
I love acebam brands… i got 14 of them, including x60, x65, t30… i dont like the battery pack on t30, and x65… battery pack are not modders friendly…
Acebeam should atleast offer without the battery pack.
Reason why I joined budget light forum was trying to get budget lights that can perform as good or better than big name brands. $750 definitely isn’t a budget light in my book…
Not saying I can’t afford it, it’s just not worth it.
If I spent $100 to mod a $120 light to preform better than a $400 light, that’s a win for me.
who said the x70 is a budget light? it was never intended as one either… but yes u can get less lumens for far less money then that for sure. This light is hard tho to get something similar for budget price since it has so crazy amount of lumens even the imalent dx80 doesnt stand a chance and + active cooling bumps up the price, i think acebeam went in hard on this one to show that such light can be made and it sets a bar for next one to dare reach 40k+ lumens…
I’m just stating my reason of skipping this one. I’m here for budget lights.
I like big lumens and cooling features, but not with this price.
I’m sure there will people calling $750 is a budget light or a steal for this light tho…
What’s the word on the streets regarding a release day? How pricey are we taking?
Well, MSRP is $750. It will probably sell for a bit less than that as per usual with Acebeam .
I have no idea when it will be released.
I wonder if there will be a group buy?
I am just guessing if they ever had a x70 group buy, it would be around $521.
Price on site is reduced to $649.90. :sunglasses:
Wow, that’s great news! I ordered three of them right away. 
Sorry to rain on your parade but I already bought the last 6 pieces on stock right before you. Ms. Newman from the Acebeam sales dept. made me such a good price…I couldn‘t resist.
sounds like they wanna compete with the x9 soon to be released with that price reduce… any idea when this is gonna get out?
I hope they use better cells in this battery pack, unlike the X65 which comes with NCRB, ridiculous for a $550 light
what does this mean for a newbie ?
I thinks he’s wondering why it doesn’t come with the higher capacity NCRGA, rated at 3500mah. I agree, a light at that price should use the best possible cell, considering it’s probably less than a $1 more per cell for them.
It’s definitely not going to use high capacity cells like 3500mah. This light needs high drain cells. Expect nothing higher than 3000mah.
thats a bummer, same as olights x9 but this has way more lumens so the actual runtimes will not be so great 
It would be great if there was 3500mah with 15-20A but u can always dream….
Gotcha! I thought maybe with 8 cells the 3500mah GAs might work, but ya… 40,000 lumens is a lot.
I really do wonder since the light is gonna hit 40k lumens why the hell not use 26650 batteries instead? I mean whats the point using 18650 if the highest capacity on each cell is 3000mah? thats way too low yes, even for the olight x9 which is rated for 25k lumens is low, i dont get it the lights are big as a house yet they use tiny 18650 packed together producing a meh runtime at best…
@JasonWW u that know so much can u chip in and help me out understand their logic doing this ??
