U can replace the battery pack on x9 unlike the x7r…, there are videos of it nothing strange, and they will sell battery tubes as extras too they said.
I assume Newlumen prefers charging his cells individually like with the GT as opposed to an 8 cell, wrapped and spot welded pack that you can only get from Olight.
What is this about the X7R? I thought it had four individual 18650 cells.
EDIT: I see they changed a lot on the R model. I thought it was mainly just a boost in output, but it looks like it’s a completely different light. It really sucks that you can’t even take the batteries out of it, but then again they might have been able to do balanced charging on each of the four cells. I’d have to do some more research to find out for sure.
Yea i think the x7r has 4 x samsung 30q 3000mah or something, really stupid u cant even take it out to buy extras if u need that, for the x9 u will able take it out which is good. thats why i didnt buy the x7r for the sealed battery because overtime u gonna need replace those and then u need send in the whole light to olight which is a hazzle…
Save $150 if you purchase June 8th! The X9R flashlight is equipped with six Cree XHP70.2 LED and is powered by a rechargeable battery pack combining eight high discharge rate 18650 batteries. https://www.olightstore.com/led-flashlights/olight-x9r-marauder
This is probably the most high tech flashlight out there and definitely premium quality. But given the X70 has 15k lumens more and active cooling, I would still prefer the X70 at maybe $200 more. 25k lumens is just not all that amazing anymore.
Sale is now ” live “. The problem will be battery pack. Also there will be step downs in output. No way you can run that for 3-5 plus without burning your hands, etc….
hm i would perhaps but that discount is only for the USA so nope way to treat customers who been looking forward this and they just do a discount for US people… how fair is that? not everyone lives in USA…. without worldwide audience they wouldnt be where they are today.
Of course Olight quality is top,but I see that my DX80 with 32K is perfect, if you understand that I payed only €194.00 for it.Not any problem with it.
