It would be pointless use protected batteries as no u wont be able to use the turbo mode as the protection will kick in pretty fast, these lights need use unprotected high drain batteries only. most flat tops would fit but not all protected but like i said its pointless. IF u have fear in using unprotected then perhaps this light is not for you - with great power comes great responsibility.
ssschen if u want as bright as possible get the xp g3 version, if u dont like cool white and want better tint and slightly lower lumens, then nichia version is better but everyone likes different.
i am new user. i have very little experience with led flashlight and lithium batteries…
for many time (buy in 2014) i have used the FENIX TK45 that i consider a very good light with AA cells, i am very very happy with this light…
now, after 4 years, i see many many many flashlight with an impressive power of lumen… i am very very curious and i decide to buy a NEW led light: the ASTROLUX MF-01
but… probably i have purchased the light too fast, because lithium cells seems very difficult to manage… i am NOVICE for these type of batteries…
i read that i need a good charger: OPUS, Xtar VC4 (or Dragon)
the big problem are the CELLS… for the MF-01 i need UNPROTECTED batteries… can some one suggest me how i have to prepare my self with these batteries? there is a serious risk of EXPLOSION???
if i forgot to remove the cells from charger, there is some danger???
and again, for this MF-01 i can only use the SAMSUNG Q30? or there is a new (and better) batteries?
about the light, i buy it from BANGGOOD and i need to test it (but need the cells before)
the light is perfect, there is ONLY ONE DOUBT… inside the glass protection of the led there is a very little point of dirty filament… just to the center… how it’s possible? i can remove it? or it’s insignificant? i have to tell to Banggood for this particular?
about the LED INDICATOR on the light, when it’s RED i have to charge the batteries?
last, my model of MF-01 have the bottom ON-OFF little different from the other… it’s normal?
if there is other suggestion that i have to follow i am here to hear.
