Hello. Isn’t possible to buy the LD-B4 but without the CPU? I’m thinking about modding one of my FL, but I would like to use my own MCU (because of other stuffs) so I just need to “convert” PWM to analogue FET drive. If I got it right, this is what the SOT-23-5 IC on your driver do. Or if isn’t possible to buy just these ICs (because I would like also my own PCB with the MCU because of the space so I would use only the IC anyway). Thank you
In theory it's possible,you need PWM signal from your CPU/MCU, driver will provide constant current,but everything else (modes,LVP,OTP protections,UI...) must be done by your MCU.

No the tailcap on the Manta Ray is not compatible with Convoy threads, since the it’s sized for 26650 batteries. It’s only the bezels that are interchangeable. The MR is pretty hefty and has a lot of meat on it to help with heat sinking as well. When I was drilling the center hole on the shelf I was pleasantly surprised at how long it took me to drill through, the shelf is very thick. I’m a big fan of the host.
I meant switch PCB size and switch hole threads, could you check?

Nope, you got it wrong. I want the driver without MCU (PIC). The IC is the SOT-23-5 chip which “convert” PWM to linear drive.

Yes, that’s exactly what I want

Did you maybe check it? I just bought one MR C8.2 host,looks interesting enough for extreme power.
What is currently the best 26650 cell for high discharge (25-40A)?

I wasn’t able to check last night, but I will definitely check today when I get home. As for batteries, I use Liitokala and Shockli. Here are tests of the cells:
LiitoKala INR26650-50A 5000mAh (Black)

Official specifications:
Nominal voltage: 3.7V
Nominal capacity: 5500mAh
Charge voltage: 4.20V +/-0.5V
Standard charge current: 0.5A
Maximum Charge current: 2A
Maximum continuous discharge: 20A
Maximum pulse discharge: 30A

The two cells are very well matched and as…
I assume the PLB 55A cell, e.g. Keeppower 6.000mAh or Shockli 5.500mAh should be the best high drain cell for 26650 size.

I thought KP wasn’t a high drain cell.

That table is great,only internal resistance is missing for complete information.
What is best reliable source (China or EU) for Vapcell/Aspire/iJoy/Golisi 4200-4300?

I think both Banggood and Gearbest sell Golisi though I have never ordered a 26650 from either site, only US vendors.

I saw that lion wholesale is having a clearance sale on the Aspire 26650 for $6.99 per cell for those of you who are in the US.
This one is the best 26650 for basically every application.
For maximum current the Samsung 30T (21700) might be a little bit better, but is has a much lower capacity.

Ok, I misunderstood I was thinking of the older KP batteries. So the KP 6,000 mah is the same as the Shockli 5,500 mah cells.

Ok, I checked the switch board and here are the measurements: thickness = 1.3mm, diameter 20.2mm . They are the same ones that Simon used to carry on his Convoy store with HGJ stamped on it. The host comes with the high amp forward switch that Simon sells on his store as well:
I don’t have any tools to measure the switch hole threads but I posted pics below. I’m not sure if that even helps. Let me know if you have any other questions about the tailswitch.
