Technically lipo means specifically the pouch cells as opposed to cylindrical, I call them all lipos though, the part that maters is the lithium not the shape 
I sure hope it is because of the 18650 and 18350 will live fine as I have a C8 XHP50.2 build as richard posted here (unless he used buck driver) and now it’s a ticking time bomb.
Any reason the articalnumber of xpl v3 HI is xplv2hi?
Both on single led on mcpcb and tripple setups.
XHP50.2 definitely has a lower vF than original XHP50...it seems like with 2x18650 or bigger you have to use caution. My setup with 2x18350 seems to have been working fine. 2x18350 sags voltage pretty hard compared to 2x high drain 18650.
They must also be more fragile than XHP50....I've desoldered XHP50 from so much heat then reflowed them back on and kept going.

For the XHP50.2 and FET...I would try to use some long, thin wires (cheap and effective low value resistors).
Got my qaud board in,i had the leds and wire done by mtn.This board is solid and looks great.Cant wait for the rest of my parts for my qaud m2 build.
Unfortunately I had already used the premium wires that come with your FET drivers. Too late. I also have the same setup with two 18350 and so far so good. But two 18650 and no go. I might add it to the site to add caution. I don’t want others to waste money too.
On that thought, MTN-MAX restock? 
The last batch of 17mm and 20mm MTN-MAX 4-layer boards were botched---same design as before, but every single one has internal shorts that made them useless. I am waiting for more PCBs.

I will add a note to the XHP50.2 listings sometime tomorrow.
Asked via the Contact link also — is there a way to search/sort out only the protected cells?
When I search “protected” the software helpfully retrieves all the unprotected cells also.
Any update on possible a deal with eagle eye for domestic x6 hosts? Hope your having a good holiday weekend
Yes, I think I can do it, but not through the plain text search function. I could either categorize them or add it as an item attribute.
> can do it, but …
I’d find it helpful to have a listing or a category for searching for protected cells.
Don’t know about anyone else, but if you sell a significant number, people are looking for them.
That would be a wonderful thing!! I love X6 hosts. It may be a pia for him though. Everyone that I’ve ever purchased from Gearbest had all of the other parts put in the same bag with the reflector so I’m sure you know how that story ends…luckily I mostly use the hosts for triples. It just makes me wonder if Gearbest does the crappy shipping or if they were shipped to Gearbest from Eagle Eye that way. I see that RMM often has marked down convoy hosts due to scratches and dings, hopefully he’s not having the same issue with any of the Jaxman hosts since he took them on. If he asks, Eagle Eye may ship them a specified way so not to damage anything.
Is there any way to define a word-boundary? Eg,
-
\bprotected\b
-
“protected”
-
+protected
etc.?
I tried that and it didn’t work.
Searching for “protection circuit” (without quotes) and checking the “search description” box finds most of the protected cells but misses one or two
Aaaaaand, the 14500 windyfires are out of stock already. :zipper_mouth_face: I wasn’t fast enough.
Sorry about that. Windyfire did not have sufficient stock to fill my order, so they sent what they had in stock with the remainder to ship soon.
No worries, I took too long to order. I’m just thankful that you carry them!
Any chance you might offer different FW for eswitch drivers?
Hoping to buy 8 button top non protected 18650GA’s; are they hard to get right now?
We can get them but unfortunately someone bought all of our stock, so we have to wait a few weeks until the next shipment comes.
Richard, my last XHP50.2 build was a FET +6 +1 and I set a PWM of 210 on my FET for turbo and that works great! Might be able to go 220 and get just a little more.
