Is it safe to use 4.35V cells?

4x4.35 = 17.4V.

I am just now getting a chance to see the fins update on this. I am on the list, and still interested.

Remember UTorch. The more/deeper the fins, the better. People (We:) will want to run this awhile on turbo 1 ~3300Lm you know, and would also like as much time as possible on Turbo 2. Fins will add time. I would like to see them as large as the bezel.

We don’t want a 1200lm flashlight. :sunglasses:

We don’t need a cooking appliance. :person_facepalming:

Bring those fins out some. This is not an Art project. :wink:

I would like a tripod mount, and I would be interested in an OP reflector. Flood it Baby! Do you think it will be offered in both reflector types, or tested in both?

Here is a picture of one of my very favorite flashlights ever (MK35). This thing is spectacular!

add me for 1 :slight_smile:

Add me, thanks.

Interested depending on price

Interested depending on price.

Just to check how many people would be interested in unprotected button top GA?

interest sanyo 18650ga or 30q button top
but is seller can ship to any country?

Interested depending on wholesale​ price please

What is the acceptable price for 4pcs set?

Interested

I guess 18$ per set for button tops would be great …

interested

GA’s already have raised tops as shown in your picture above on the right. They’re not flat like some other cells. They need a button to work in the UT03? The raised top ones won’t work?

Freeme, I’m just trying to think with you. The guys of the Q8 project had the actual light to know what batteries fit, and as a result of that decided to go with the button top 30Q for max performance: they have good control over the actual product.
Is this also the case with the UT03? GearBest gets feedback, but I can imagine the manufacturer has the freedom to change little details without GearBest (or you) knowing them. I can imagine a theoretical possibility that the actual production UT03 is not going to like button top GAs, but prefer flattop GAs; maybe button top GAs will be uncomfortably tight. It would be horrible if button top GAs are shipped (and financial aspects taken care of) before finding out they don’t fit well… Just a thought. :laughing:

Performance wise , since the light uses 4s battery setup , GA or 30Q or VTC5A won’t make any difference .
Using a better battery (lower resistance) may increase efficiency , or a higher capacity cell will increase runtimes .

Of course we don’t know every detail factory is planning …

I think regular GA’s will work perfect , but we will have to test it , probably on the final product :wink:

Yes I understand this part. I’m thinking more about lights like Niwalker BK FA09S that simply cannot accept button tops. I think this was the case with the first batch of Haikelites where flattop GAs were a much better fit than the button tops as well.

I think it’s way too early to look for batteries for this light.

In this stage of design I think the factory should make sure short, 65mm cells, have at least a few mm of compression to account for sagging. Then fit a maximum of maybe 70 to 71mm cells. No need for longer.

Due to the single springs we may not be able to fit both protected and unprotected cells. It will be tricky to get both to fit well.

Since this light uses brass buttons on the positive end, regular old flat tops will make contact just fine. The battery tube does not screw on like the Q8 where the positive terminal needs to be higher than the rest of the cell.

interested. depending on price
