This was from the L6 thread. As always, just because a manufacturer says it’s battery can do 15A or 20A doesn’t necessarily make it true. I would do a search to see if they have been tested before I bought them.
Appearantly. Keep in mind that the Acebeam 5100mah 21700 is a high capacity cell, not a high drain. I’m not sure what it’s base cell is, but it’s safe to say it’s not rated for over 10A continous (it might be a Samsung INR21700-50E). The EC65 light it’s used in draws about 15A, but only for a minute or less at a time. The protection circuitry still adds a bit of extra resistance so the voltage sag is greater compared to an unprotected cell. Both of these reviews have interesting battery tests. Maukka’s EC65 review. Toobadorz EC65 review.
Note that the EC65 has single springs on each end while drawing 15A. This light could definitely use these Beryllium Copper springs!
BlueSwordM, I need a clarification of how will the GB go.
First you order a batch of big.
If it’s good, you order small ones too. Otherwise the GB ends without making small ones at all, right?
What will be the delay from one batch to another?
Can you just wait with sending big ones until the small arrive to ship them together for those of us who ordered both?
Good idea, that would sure suit me if it is OK with BSM. It would not only save on shipping cost, it would save BSM a lot of time only having to just do one mailing to each person.
You see, I said that the max shipping price INTERNATIONALLY for less than 110 springs would be 5$US.
So, for most people, I was going to wait until I received the big springs first, test them, and if they are good, I would then request the batch for small springs to be made.
That last part however, would need to be payed for by you guys and gals, since my hobby funds are almost empty by that last purchase.
However, for some people who ordered A LOT of springs, which are:
- MRsDNF at 120 total springs
- teacher at 160 total springs
- ASF at 200 total springs
- Texas Ace at 140 total springs
DB Custom at 150 total springs
For these guys, it would actually be CHEAPER to send the big springs and small springs separately due to weight reasons.
TLDR: For most people, I am going to send in big and large springs together.
For the people mentioned above, it would be less expensive to send the big springs and small springs together.
- If you have a total of less than 110 springs, it is cheaper to ship small and big springs together.
- If you have a total of more than 110 springs, it is more expensive to ship big and small springs together. Therefore, I will ship the big springs separately for these guys:
