Just tested between my blue and black LiitoKala 26650’s in a modified Convoy L6 (FET driver, XHP-70.2)….
Blue showed me 16.48A and did 9,108 in the light box
Black showed me 18.16A and did 9,280.5 in the light box.
192 lumens more at the sacrifice of 1.68A more draw, seems odd, but I’ve seen it where it flips, the one that has highest current doesn’t necessarily produce the most lumens.
shadockan, I never said I was into assembling packs profesionally. Doing it with this solder and technique can be relatively fast, yet I believe this is more adequate for custom builds and high current, as I can use and solder very big wires with ease.
I’ll just stick with the LiitoKala’s then… much cheaper & real good.
I tried my best to send you some of those connectors so you would have them when you needed them. :person_facepalming:
But no ship to address was I given.
Good day BLFers. Currently I have 2 26650 protected cells for my stock L6. I need 2 more. Can I use non protected 26650 cells? The black Liitokala seems good price, but not protected. Will my stock L6 circuitry can function as protector? Noob question. Thanks :innocent:
I think it’s best to add the solder blob just to increase their total length. With my solder blobbed Liitokalas the springs on each end only compress a little. If I give the light a small bump on the front bezel (making the batteries slide forward) it will cut power for a second. I’m talking about a very slight bump.
So I may make the blobs a big taller or else make a spacer. I need a flat plastic disc (about the size of a poker chip) and maybe a copper or brass cylinder about 10mm diameter and maybe 5mm thick. I’d cut a hole in the plastic disc and press the metal piece inside. The plastic piece will hold the metal center in place and prevent it from touching the walls. It seems pretty easy, but I haven’t done it yet.
The extra tension might even boost the power just a little. Who knows? Lol
