I’ll let you know as soon as mine arrives hopefully next week.So far there aren’t any reports regarding failing chargers in the german TLF. Folks say it doesn’t get hot at all.
Maybe it’s really an 110V issue.
Using a different power supply makes sense, but at the same time I also see a possibility that you void warranty if something goes wrong… Has Imalent or the vendor made a statement regarding the use of a different power supply?
Edit:
Silicoon, is that abnormal behaviour you think? The light charges pretty quickly I believe; something like 3+ hours to fully charge or not? So doesn’t it make sense if the light gets a bit warm?
From BG, I wanted to try it with another AC adapter.
However, I think that it is necessary to verify that there is no problem.
In my case two AC adapters can not be used and it is inevitable :cry:
I don’t know if banggood is okaying that I use a different charger… In the manual it specifies an adapter that is 19-24V/2A. And at some point I’m sure i’m going to have to find another one if I want to use the light.
The battery pack inside the light is supposedly 8 Samsung 30Q’s arranged is a 4S2P configuration.
Each 30Q is a 3000mAh cell and at 2P that would be a 6Ah pack.
So the pack is charged at 2A for 3 Hours, 10 minutes, it would fill that 6Ah pack. the extra 10 minutes accounts for losses.
It seems that 3A or more flows in the heat generation of The charger (19 V 3.42 A).
I want to connect the power supply on hand and see the actual amount of current,my own power supply can only limit either voltage or current.
That’s scary
Are you accounting for when the charger shifts from constant amperage to constant voltage as it reaches terminal voltage? That last 10% or so goes much slower.
