Well, I haven’t received mine yet; but it sure sounds like BangGood have made a real mess of this.
The only way I can think of to solve the problem, that all customers can apply without help, is if BangGood distributed new battery tubes of a dimension that works with the other components to all customers (without us having to go through the third degree with customer service).
That output seems ok , it seems good for really close range flood …but that’s if you can get it to turbo … I should of spent more time reading the manual or watch a YouTube video… because it’s like a puzzle trying to get it on then to turbo …I’m probably missing something but it’s so weird…If there’s a way to make it off and on only turbo I would do it
I’ve tested the USB charging on the S42. It was able to charge the 18350 battery in it, but when it’s fully changed, the battery level indicator shows 4 blinks, not a full battery 5 blinks. The battery is a new KeepPower IMR battery. I am not home so I didn’t have a chance to test the battery with a multimeter. But it seems that either the battery isn’t fully charged by the flashlight, or the battery level indicator function on the flashlight isn’t accurate.
In 7 mode set, click to moon then press&hold - turbo comes on. It's right there in the manual. Some funky stuff - dbl-click toggles between 7 modes and 4 modes, press&hold when OFF goes into lockout and turns off the dragon's breath. Didn't check parasitic drain, but interesting what it is with the dragon's breath running.
Could they possibly include one with what ever fix they come up with for the battery tube? Thats the big issue for me, I dont want to have to tear into this light and mod it right out of the box
Edit: I didnt notice the “for free” after “AND it can be ordered” lol
1: the springs are too long/stiff, even with one spring removed
2: the threads on the head end of the tube are too short to contact the driver. I think this ones a random flaw though?
The perfect mia, the 18350 soshine batteries come in, and the 30q with teton 18650,the micro usb cover, looks flimsy, but it has not been released, I like it a lot, and it gives a lot of light, the interface is horrible, Of something is an XP-G3, and in the box it puts TEST … sorry for the translator
At least if the driver was easy to remove, it could probably be reflashed. It looks like the Manker version used a BLF-derived driver so this one might have also. But it’s press-fit so it probably requires taking the front off and popping it out from inside.
I don’t think anyone has posted any pictures of the inside of the light yet, so it’s a mystery.
