Thrunite Catapult V6 (mini thrower) // Full reveiw

Correct. Not available in NW. I had an order in for one and a few weeks later they told me it wasn’t going to be produced and refunded the money.

hkequipment.net have five Thrunite Catapult V6 it in stock ATM

EDIT :

05/30/2018 0500 Out of stock

Did you check how high the voltage need for activating turbo mode?

No I didn’t even think about that to be honest. I did the run time test listed in the charts in OP , starting in Turbo and just let the light run from there until it shut down.

Can you check it roughly? Base on Thrunite’s name, It’s acceptable for me if the minimum voltage is not higher than 3.7V.

It may take a while to get the result , but I can discharge the cell on my Opus charger to around 3.7 and then start checking Turbo mode from there I guess.

Thank a lot. Since you’re going to discharge your cell, I think you should test from higher voltage, like from 4.0, 3.9, 3.8….until you can’t activate turbo mode. :slight_smile:

OK I have the results from my testing of the voltage needed for Turbo mode to activate. I turned the light on in Turbo mode each time I checked the voltage and lumens , let it stay on for 30 seconds , turned the light off and then discharged the cell a little more to do the next step.

I made a simple chart as to what the cell voltage was and also noted the lumens at each voltage or step of the testing.
Of course as would be expected , the lumens are much lower than what you will get from a fully charged cell.

Here is the chart with those results and I am also editing the OP and the chart will be there as well.

Good result. Thanks, I really appreciate your help
:wink:

No problems…… As I have always said , I am glad to do the reviews and answer any questions about those lights that I can.

Got mine today, very nice little flashlight. Only thing I don’t like so much is the cool white tint so I put in a XHP35 HI C4 40E 4000K CRI80+ :

Got mine today too. :smiley:

I hope you guys enjoy the lights as much as I have been liking mine.

I love mine.

Yes sir. I love mine catapult v6 too… built in charging is a great feature…

Yep, the V6 is a very neat little light, it freaks people out (hidden in one hand) when I turn it on in Turbo! :smiley:

Thank you for the great review. Very informative and thorough. :+1:

I see that you got 8.98 Amps at the tail with the provided cell.

1.What Do you think my Ijoy or Golisi [which respectively can provide 30A and 31A continuous ] numbers might be?

2.Do you know what the continuous amp draw for the provided Thrunite battery is? It is not listed on the battery and I can not find any info. on it.

I am guessing 10A, maybe 15A at the most since it appears to have enough juice for the Cat V6

I do not have the equipment to do these tests even though they are probably simple!

,Thanks again!

Thanks Wolfdog………

All the testing I did with the Cat V6 is what I listed in the charts in the OP.

I can say the driver is regulated and pretty much any cell I have put in the light , whether protected or unprotected (Efest High drain , Basen , EVVA Protected , Voidhawk Protected and the Thrunite cell) have all given me close to the same amps at the tail.

I don’t know what that equates to in continuous amps , but as it seems the regulation will only allow so much.

Hope this can at least help a little with your question.

Thanks for the information. :slight_smile:

oh,I never heard of Voidhawk so looked them up. They are located in Port St. Lucie, FLA. That is where my Dad lives!

Glad to answer any questions I might know or be able to answer for you Wolfdog.

Yea the Voidhawk Flashlight is the first brand I ever did a review on when I first got into making reviews. They have decent lights and the cells are good , if the Protected is what you are looking for , they are a little pricy though.

As far as far as the lights themselves…….they are decent quality but nothing that really stands out from most zoomies to be honest. I mean the build quality is better than some of the cheap ones I have and they DO have a solid shelf for the emitter rather than a hollow pill…………that is a whole other subject though.

The lights are also priced about 2 times as much as they should be , but at least not total junk I guess.
