Thanks Krono. What did the internal charger charge the battery to and what happens to the voltage if the battery is left in the light for an extended period with the charger lead connected? I dont use the two I have. Why do I think I need another?
Yes…one screw. Didn’t seem to be any kind of problem. Emitter is held down sufficiently by the pressure of the reflector against the insulation disc. One screw does the job of preventing MCPCB from rotating.
Not sure about the IPX8 waterproof rating. I’ll try to test it if I ever get my hydrostatic test chamber finished.
As far as depleted cells, I will have to test. I did run the light off an on for several days, on walks, testing, beamshots, looking for spider eyes…etc. Should have taken a voltage reading before I used the internal charger…bud didn’t. Light charged fully at about 2.5-3 hours. But again…didn’t test voltage to see what it terminated at
I’ll try to do some charging tests and update when complete.
Good question which I should have addressed in the review.
I tried to wedge the driver out after I removed the brass retainer ring, but was unsuccessful. It rocked back and forth, but felt like I might destroy it if I pulled too hard. With the button electronics on one side, and the USB charge port on the other, it makes for a VERY tight fit in there…and I just didn’t feel confident enough to force it out. If I get brave I might re-visit it, though.
EagleEye seems to be a great manufacturer. The X6-se edition is great.
I’m on the waiting list for the A6 groupbuy, and it looks even without special mods their stock lights are very nice already!
Thanks for the great review. I noticed this on BG and was wondering about it.
A few dumb questions I’m sure: (I have no experience with charging lights and haven’t really researched any with USB port)
Is the charging cord micro USB, the same as used for charging an android phone / tablet?
What kind of charger did you use to recharge in 2.5 - 3 hrs.? Wall charger? 1A or 2A? Or plugged into a PC USB port?
