Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I hear ya. Product description states: “Integrated 3-in-1 safety chip: Extra charge, discharge and short circuit protection, no over-charge, damage to lithium core or extreme temperature,” but how that works in practice is anyone’s guess.

What do you guys think is the source of power in this rechargeable one? Two 18650 cells? Three 18650 cells? Something else?

If the ad is to be believed, its 6000mah. Its likely a pouch pack. if we are lucky its 2x18650. Given the thickness, I’m inclined to think its a pouch.

Anyone got a code their willing to share for this COB work light?
You can PM me if you prefer. I could really use one of these, thanks.

Thanks.

I got the rechargeable version shipped to the UK delivery and taxes and import duty for $11 equivalent.

Its showing like $11 for me.

You have to use the vipon code at amazon and put it in the promotional code box at checkout to get the discount.
Unfortunately the code want be available again for about 13 hours.

Thanks for the tear down and shot of the pill. the shelf looks like it wasn’t a solid piece but tacked on afterwards.

Snagged one. Many Thanks … :wink:

I stand corrected. The light has a 3x18650 wrapped pack in it. It is indeed 6000mah 3.7v.

You opened yours up? :slight_smile:

I’m going to run a discharge capacity test when I get mine.

Wait… what?

The vipon code for the moobibear(!) is 11.27, but it’s listed on amazon at 10.99, straight-up.

What’m I missing, and how youse get ’em for 5-6bux?

vipon code brings it down to 20, 5% coupon knocks it down a bit more. Got mine for <20bux out the door.

Ah, here we are…

Go crazy…

Ignore the displayed pricing and apply Vipon code anyway. :slight_smile:

Of course I opened it. It had screws. Isnt that what you are supposed to do with something you just purchase? Open it up and see whats inside/how it works? Thats how I grew up at least. :slight_smile:

Ran out for the day, so I gots ta wait.

Right on. :+1:

BTW, mine was completely dead when it arrived. The light wouldn’t turn on. Charging it now. It was initially only pulling about 0.1A from my USB wall plug, but after a while it went up to 1A.

Same here.

I’ve seen that with a lot of lithium batteries from overseas. It charged fine.

FYI, when pulling 0.5A current from the USB port, I got 13,650 mWh out of it. This translates to 3,689 mAh capacity @ 3.7V. Alas, even though the port would no longer supply current at this point, the light would still turn on.

I wanted to initially measure capacity using 1A current, but the USB can’t deliver it reliably. If you try to go higher than about 0.9A, voltage starts dropping notably. Anyway, not a big deal. I didn’t really buy it for the power bank function.

As a portable work light, it works fine, other than the blue/red strobe/disco mode. Wonder if Police would take an issue with it if they saw you running it on the side of the road at night.

Welp, I grabbed one up in muh cart. Shud be kinda overkill with all da juice, but price and reviews look good. Thanks! :+1:
