I have high standby drain in my Manker T01 - it’s about 3,5mA on NiMh and about 6mA on 14500. Since it has electronic switch - is it basically certain that it’s driver fault? I’m asking because mabye supplier could send me just the driver, but not sure if it would solve the issue.
You should add the light model in the title…
Some switch lights have horrible standby currents so someone else should measure their current to judge if yours is faulty…but it seems your driver is defect(this review says only some uA)…
How did you measure? Have you double checked the settings on the DMM? And have you measured other switch lights so that you are certain your measurement is fine?
OK, I’ve edited and added model in the title, thanks for pointing that.
I’ve also read that it should be uA. My multimeter can detect only mA. I think that method I used is fine, checked on my second T01 and U11 and could not detect any drain (as those are uA).
I’ve checked it on the tail - I was not able to disassemble the light. Also don’t know how to measure switch drain alone. I could only compare it to other lights and my observation that battery power was disappearing surprisingly fast, even thou I didn’t use the light.
6mA will darin a 14500 in a Couple of days.
If your Confident with your Findings you shoukd conatct the Sellers Customer service…
Yes, I’m confident. I already asked seller and because there were also other issues with the light - he sent me another one. However - new one has broken driver (corrupted blinky modes and goes totally crazy on 14500 - can’t even turn it off). Now I’m thinking what to do with those lights.
Hi Woytas.
Where did you purchase your T01? Which version, black or aluminium version?
Thanks.
Aluminium version (both). Purchased on banggood. They promised to send new driver, just hope it will really work this time.
