1. Is this a compatible charger for these high drain 30Qs?
(I already own a Liitokala but my buddy has the Nitecore charger and needs to know if he needs a new charger for his new 30Q batteries)
2. What mm bit do I need to fit into the threaded tripod hole on the side of the Q8? And with the newer/corrected version of the Q8 will I still need to hack off part of the bit in order to make it fit into the hole?
3.4V is at about the 2.1 Ah mark, so 2.1 Ah out of 2.86 Ah capacity is about 73.4%, so 26.6% capacity remaining. This is directly off a Samsung 30Q flat top test, so not sure if this is all apples to apples, but this is how I've thought it could be calculated.
Those measurements are under load, wheras the 3.4v in question wasn’t measured inside the running Q8, it was the state of charge of the cells as per the poster, so likely measured after taking them out.
Ahh, ok. Anyway in HKJ's reviews to find out the "not under load" levels? These things will vary from cell to cell it seems like. I've seen discharge curves vary nearing the end.
I think it is awesome, had to do work the other day
blink blink blink lower
blink blink blink lower
blink blink blink lower
blink blink blink lower
I ramped it up a little and had light more then enough to see for the duration of the work at least half an hour
It is so good to be able to put lumens out at steady rate sometimes, I hate lights that keep on blinking and detest my Olights that just go off and won’t turn on.
I had a Gearbest package go from China to LA to NY, then it took a tour of Europe and ended up in Istanbul. Then back to NY, then to me in Michigan. I wish I’d done a screen shot of the tracking. If it hadn’t been so funny, I would have been pissed. It took around 7 weeks to finally arrive.
Not yet. Last night I tried pulling out the driver but the wires that go up to the LED MCPCB were too short to allow it to come out very far, so I stopped there. Thinking I may need to Disassemble the top end of the light in order to free up enough slack to get a good look at the driver.
I get it. But does not this have thermal protection? To reach 3.4v level I set max brightness and waited.
After it reached 3.4volt the surface became too hot to even touch for 1 second. But it did not throttle.
I like it this way but maybe this is harmful. So is not there any kind of protection? Like thermal or timer?
