I have an extra set of Stock BLF GT35 battery carriers (better fit for protected batteries) if someone in the U.S. wants to trade for their GT70 shorty carriers, they are like newā¦?
@Mark M
Writing the manual and checking if everything is OK would be easier when the writer has a lamp to compare.
But there is never one. Only asking stuff via emails.
Iām fairly sure it will shut down, and I donāt believe youāll be able to push the 30Qās to far, you can run this light on 4 batteries, actually I think it will run on one if I recall. I can assure you that thereās nothing to worry about especially when TA is behind the drivers functions.
Newlumen, are those Astroās on both ends?
If so how are they ? Been looking at those and thinking about getting one but really they look like knockoff GTās, still tempted thoughā¦ ha ha
Iām Addicted to anything that lights up.
I read the user manual and didnāt find mention of auto shut-off when battery voltage is low.
I think that information is worth inclusion in the user manual if Lumintop decided to revise the user manual.
Gives the user more fun in using the flashlight knowing that it will auto shut-off or give some conspicuous signal like flashing of light when the battery voltage reached a certain low-voltage level.
I donāt know what will happen If I let the flashlight drain the batteries down in use. Will it explode in my hands?
Hey Verge on the first page of the user manual titled Safety precautions which was for the GT XHP35 but same thing as the GT70 it says on section 4,
Remove and recharge cells when the low voltage indications is given by the GT (repeated step-downs in light levels and eventual shutdown of the light.)
Direct quote for you friend, so have fun and no worriesā¦
When voltage reaches 3v it will blink 3 times and step down to a lower level. I think it will shut off the light completely at 2.8v. (Donāt qoute me on the exact voltage) So there is no chance of over discharging the cells.
There is a small amount of parasitic drain when off, though. So if you donāt plan to use the light for several months, itās best to turn the tail cap to cut all power.
The emitter is 12v so you have to have at least 4 cells in a carrier. The other carrier can be empty if you want.
Thanks for the info Newlumen, I think Iām going to pass on those as tempted as I am, I am getting way to many huge lights lately but Iām darn happy thatās for sure.
Is purchasing flashlights tax deductible on my income tax, ha ha Mr. JASONā¦ ha ha ha
I remember reading in one of the posts in this forum or at the other forum some years ago about rechargable lithium batteries exploding inside the flashlight.
The explosion caused the flashlightās end cap to shoot out like a bullet and fortunately just hit a wall.
