Recommended batteries for Convoy S2+ C8+ and BLF A6?

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights
1

Hi There,

Looking for some help on battery selections for the following flashlights.

  • BLF A6 XPL 3D
  • Convoy C8+ XPL Hi – V2 1A
  • Convoy S2+ L2 7135×8 XML2 U2-1A
  • Convoy S2+ SST40 (5000k)

I am not sure if these batteries will work well with the above lights, as I have them from a short vaping stint I had awhile back - I currently have the following:

  • 2 x Panasonic 3400mAh 18650 NCR18650B Flat top
  • 2 x Red LG LGDBHE21865 2500mAH 30A 3.7v
  • 2 x Xtar 18650 2100mAh

If those will work, which would be best for each light? If these are no bueno… what would you guys recommend for the flashlights?

Thanks in advance

Panny-Bs are fine for low-stress lights (up to 3A or so), and most of the S2+es should be fine with them.

Not sure how much the C8 draws, but it should be fine with a panny-B, too.

A6? Might be more than that, so you can’t go wrong with 30Qs.

Aha, saw above that you actually have the cells you listed. Still, the panny-Bs would be fine in the S2+es, and any of the others would be fine in the A6.

Awesome, thank you! I guess going forward is it safe to think the Samsung 30q would be good for most 18650s?

Yes, absolutely.

30q in the A6 for sure. Being overly cautious, I use some protected cells that came with other lights in the S2+ since it does not have the protection the A6 has. Others are more responsible than I am and go unprotected keeping an eye on the battery.
