Thrunite TN12

Hi guys
i wanna buy Thrunite TN12

but… I need to know if it’s possible to charge the battery?
or i have to buy more batteries?
are these batteries hard to find?
where to get them?
are these batteries made only for that certain flashlight or it’s possible to buy them at the store?

to be short:
i DON’T wanna buy the flashlight and then use it for several hours and after the battery dies throw it in a trash can…
i need some insurance that i can use this flashlight for years.

thanks

Hi. TN12 Doesn’t come with a battery. It uses a rechargeable 18650. They are easy to find. So you need to buy an 18650 battery and separate charger.

Thrunite TC12 is a very similar light. But has built in charger that you use the included USB charger to charge. It also comes with an 18650.

I have a TN12. I reckon it’s a great beginners light.

Hey how are you doing man. If you’re not too familiar with these batteries, then I recommend getting the TN12 bundle, where you have the right battery and charger. It is a so called 18650 lithium ion battery, but mind you there are many variants of this type. It’s a rechargeable battery, so unless something fails, you should be fine for many years.

Thrunite also has the TC12, which is pretty much the same as the TN12, but it has a built in micro USB charger.

I would always advise to get a Neutral White flashlight

For many of them you find coupons up to 40% in this forum

i was watching youtube videos and it looks like that this charger is charging only cell phones by using the battery… it can’t charge the battery

LOL you were more detailed and I didn’t know about the TN12 bundle :+1:

Can you give me a link so i can buy exactly what you bought?

It’s supposed to be a charger/powerbank. I briefly checked out this video where it is explained at around 6 minutes and 10 seconds: [video:]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT6XZOvExjs[/video]

TN12 then add the charger and battery at the bottom

Works out cheaper to buy TC12 with included battery and built in charger.

I like neutral white. Looks more like sunlight. But cool white is brighter and looks more blue.

Shop around and look for the best price.

which charger should i choose? one for 17.95$ or 29.99$ ?

Go for the Thrunute C2 and 3400mah battery for 17.95

is this website safe to buy from?
it ships to all countries, right?
where i can check when will shipment arrive?

Yes it’s safe to buy from. They are a member/seller on this forum. You could message then and ask for a discount if you want. You could ask them about shipment time.

This is one of their sale threads.

Can you explain how this charger works?

PS will its strobe save me from wild hogs if they start charging at me?

Since you’re new and full of doubts and intending to buy a lithium-ion fashlight, it’s imperative that you read this.

The charger works like this: set the battery in the charger cradle then connect it with a micro-USB cable just like you would recharge your phone. When the LED is green, it’s fully charged and you can put it back in.

I don’t think it will, at least not for long. Your torch is a light source, not a proper weapon. Better find other means of protection.

Now, welcome to BLF! ^:-) And yes, the TN12 is a good torch, in fact the 2014 edition was my first 18650 torch. I know better alternatives for my uses now (Convoy with Biscotti), but it’s still got a nice spot in my collection as my only forward clicky with dual switch.

TC12 has build in charging, besides that almost the same as TN12.
No brainer, get the TC12 it charges good and safe and yo dont need to take out the cell for a long time

Onee more question.
This website hkequipment ships to all countries?
What have I enter in “county” section? I don’t live in the US.

The “county” thing is only if the country chosen is the US. Pick your own and there’ll be no option for that. At least it was when I first made a purchase, almost 2 years ago.

Also, fitting that this thread comes up not even an hour after I break the lens of my Convoy M1 and am now forced to return to my TN12 :frowning: Luckily I already had spare lenses in the mail, now they just have to arrive.

If you’re sticking with Thrunite get the Neutron 2C V3. Basically the same light but a little cheaper.

I entered my city name in the “county” and in the “city”.
I hope that’ll be ok. i ordered
btw when will shipment arrive? and how i can contact owners of that website if something goes wrong?
