Turbo is not a distinct setting, it is just the top of the ramp where the leds run direct drive on the batteries. So the current is determined by the type of led and the current/voltage characteristics of the batteries.
I think you should stop worrying, just get the SP36 and find out how it works with your batteries (just checked again:protected cells fit fine).
Hehe. I already bought it. Now waiting from AliExpress . Anyways. How do I know if im on the turbo? Just making sure so I know how to see if my battery is capable enough haha
Also . I’ve done some reading and I can see that the internal resistance is about 0.11ohm. is it good enough for the turbo? I’m new to the flashlight game so I’m kinda still confused
Very dependent on the batts - one # for amps doesn't apply to a light like this. NarsilM v1.2 has the ability to be configured to have a max ramp less than dbl click turbo, but dbl click turbo should be max amps/turbo.
With those cells (protected Pana B's) more likely to be about 4-5 amps per cell, 12-15 amps total - maybe that 11 amps they quoted is close because I'm thinking closer to 4 amps/cell.
Ahh I see. But yeah upon researching it’s about 6.7A per battery. The cut out limit. It should be fine yeah? I mean I hope I’m not losing much lumens because of it haha. I mean is 0.11ohm good enough haha
Again, there's no right or wrong or good or no good. If you get 4-5 amps per cell as we are guessing, and 6.7A is the trip point, you are good to go. The rest is up to you.
0.11 ohm resistance is pretty high, but the light has a lot of power. It should not be less than 1/2 the max, probably 3000-4000 lumens instead of 6000? Maybe? About? Roughly?
Thanks so much for the answer. Anyways last questions…
Do I need to make sure I have the same exact charge between those 3 batteries before putting it and using/charging it? As far as I understand, it should be fine right? It’ll automatically balance itself ye?
Do you have a PDF for the how to use it? Like it’s so much different than my old flashlight so I’m kinda confused haha. Thanks eh
Whoa da. As far as I know, you should/better use the same cells, preferably bought the same time, charged to the same level. You do not want one cell at 3.6V and another at 4.2V because the two will try to level each other quickly, and that's not healthy...
Close is ok, like 0.02V or so.
The light didn't come with a manual? If not, it's the same as the Q8 - there lots of info around on usage, maybe the best is the videos.
Yes I bought it at the same time so it’s as close as possible. Also my flashlight is still shipping. So idk I think it should have a manual. But yeah I thought since it’s kinda complicated, I’ll learn how to use it from now haha. Thanks for the link!!
You can download the NarsilM 1.2 manual from my ► sharepoint ◄ (in English or German language). I'm in touch with Sofirn if they agree to let me publish the entire manual (i.e. with the first page about the SP36) as it is now available on Amazon as well.
All three batteries work in parallel. Make sure that these are charged to the same level before you put them into the light. Otherwise the springs are at risk to melt due to immediate leveling of voltage between the cells, just as Tom E already explained.
Hey guys. It’s me again. I have other questions. So . I’ve done more research and it seems like Anduril is a newer different firmware? Or more updated firmware? And im new to all this so I want to know if it’s better with more features or no?. Also how do I flash it if I want to flash it to my still shipping SP36? Thank you.
You are a parallel thinker, are you? Everything sorted out before the flashlight even has arrived!
The advantage of that is that everything is ready steady go beforehand, the disadvantage is that some of your questions never needed asking and answered once you have the actual light in your hands, or that you at that point may even choose a completely direction than what you figured out before.
Hehe. Sorry if it seems like I ask a LOT of questions. But I like changing firmware etc. And why not if it’s much better than the stock firmware? . Thats why I rooted my phone and changed the ROM etc . Anyways. Back to the questions. Can you or anyone explain/answer these questions for me? Hehe. It made me so excited when I know I can change the firmware hahaha
If you scroll through this thread you will find that many people think that the glued driver is too much of a problem to handle. Every mod with the SP36 starts with getting the driver out. I managed to do that and so did Anthon, so it is doable.
