Just blob a nice silver solder on the top, the cheapest and the best way to do so: it never fails you know
And yes, Gearbest batteries dont contact properly when in series, the first ones that i bought from Ali do…it seems that we do have a different China revisions of those:)
I am juts hoping that they wont nuke the battery quality some time later
As I have said previously I have 6 cells, 2 from Aliexpress & 4 from Gearbest & they all work in series (which TBH surprised me) in both my S70 & Z1 XHP 50 :+1:
Yeh, a round 4x1mm magnet superglued does it. Center magnet and apply glue ONLY to perimiter of magnet NOT under it. Glue does not conduct.
I have had magnets superglued to flat top pulls for 5 years now and no problems whatsoever.
“Sir headlight”…… all 6 of your LittoKala 26650’s work in series??? I have 4 with 4 more on the way. None of the first 4 work in series at all. :person_facepalming:
I wonder what the differences are??? ( besides the obvious of course )
Hmmmmm… ??
Ordered yesterday from GB. Showing already shipped via Netherlands Post. I expect receipt in about 6 weeks
I plan to use them in my L6 that should arrive any day now.
No idea what if any difference there is teacher but they definitely all work in both my S70 & Z1 XHP 50 (the only 2 x 26650 lights I have).
To look at the cells you wouldn”t think that they would work in series without a magnet or such like as the tops are very flat & I am surprised myself that they do.
That is certainly interesting. I look forward to seeing if my next 4, that are in transit now; will work in series.
Thanks for the info & ‘consumer report’ bella-headlight………… :+1: …
On the +ve side or -ve? Tradition would say on the +ve to make them feels like “button top” but I see advantages of placing them on the -ve to protect the bottom plate from sharp tail springs of certain flashlights.
So, wait a minute… Are there two versions of this battery? On Ali they are listed as 50A batteries and gearbest states they are 20A. Has this been discussed already? Sorry if so…
I am waiting on these batteries, but from the photographs they look like these would not be a good candidate for using in series. I plan on using mine in my single cell lights.
I am waiting too on the Convoy L6 but plan on using Shockli 4200mAh batteries; they are flat-top batteries with the positive terminal high enough for good contact. Not all flat top batteries can be used in series because of a shallow positive terminal.
