I think so, but the manufacturer make the driver it is.

I think it need yours to give suggestions

2 series batteries, but use only un-protected batteries!

Why cannot use only 1 battery? Can’t the extension tube taken out?

MTG2 needs 2 cells, XML2 only 1.

Marc.

only a rule of thumb…

there are also boost driver (mtg 1 cell)
and buck with 2 ( or more) for xml

I guess BG wants us to order to find out! Personally I don’t think it would work with a single cell even if it should being an “updated version”, I don’t see shadow developing such boost/buck driver for a $39 light.

But then what’s attractive about this version? It’s the ability to power a 6V Led from a single cell that made it interesting in the first place.

Banggood can you just simply put some batteries and try it? Thanks.

This model light (Shadow JM35) has always worked in the SINGLE CELL configuration. It was first launched without any extension tube option as a Single cell ONLY version for both MTG2, then XHP-50 , options. It uses a boost driver and has been reviewed and discussed extensively here on BLF. (see M4D M4X's review).

I see no reason why the new revision of the same model (just now has dual-switch and extension tube) should be any different...

why do you say this new offering has an ‘extension’ tube? Maybe it is only 1 piece and thus has to run on (2) cells. The specs don’t list an extension tube?

EDIT: Bizarrely the listing does state "Note: Please do not use protective 26650 battery for this flashlight.Can not use 1x 26650 battery."

So I don't know if they're mistaken or this is now a just badly designed light compared to the previous JM35 version!

Hirsh

works for me :wink:

EDIT: Bizarrely, despite the photos (and logic!), the listing does state "Note: Please do not use protective 26650 battery for this flashlight. Can not use 1x 26650 battery."

So I don't know if they're mistaken or this is now a just badly designed light compared to the previous JM35 version!

Suppose we just need to get one to be sure...

Bangood have you tried this with only one cell?

Has anyone got this “new version” 2-cell JM35 in MTG-2?

I would like to know if it really only runs on 2 cells or will it also run on one?

Trying to decide which version to get

Koyotee, would you PM me the link?

Is it just an issue on my computer or did li-ion batteries suddenly become unavailable on Banggood? Every single one I clicked shows as sold out…
EDIT: It’s a battery shipping issue - as I suspected.

Can you update your profile (My account —-> Edit) and add your location so we know which countries are having shipping problems?

I just checked the Banggood site and had no problems ordering any batteries for delivery to Hilo, Hawaii, USA.

Sorry, I forgot to specify my location. It seems to be affecting some EU countries.

Just Seen this:

Could be an easy 3.7$ DMM current measuring setup. AWG 16, just cut the connector and make a probe with a bit solder on the wire and voila.
