:person_facepalming: . I hate to reveal my ignorance by asking this, but what does ’TLDR’ mean??

’SOC’ = “State of Charge” = ?

contactcr · September 28, 2018, 9:06pm

TLDR = Too Long Didn’t Read (a summary)

BlueSwordM · September 28, 2018, 11:04pm

@teacher, always reveal your ignorance. It’s better to be seen ignorant for a second rather than staying ignorant forever :+1:

TLDR: Too Long Didn’t Read
TLDW: Too long Didn’t Watch
SOC: State of Charge
DOD: Depth of discharge

Newlumen, tap the bottom of the e04 with your hand a little firm. Does it blink?

Newlumen · September 29, 2018, 12:23am

No. It doesn’t blink.

teacher · September 29, 2018, 12:45am

Good point Blue…… :+1: … . Thank you.

trailhunter · September 29, 2018, 12:52am

Newlumen · September 29, 2018, 12:56am

I will see you on the e04vn forum.

I got my order of Sofirn Q8. It came with NarsilM v1.0. Flashed it to NarsilM v1.2, which works better.
Then also tried flashing it to Anduril (latest 09-07-2018), so far it seems to work properly too.
I didn’t encounter the “no switch light” issue that DB Custom mentioned… could it be related to the Aux-LED configuration? (which can be adjusted in Lockout mode: ie. 4 clicks to lock-out, then click-click-hold, then select the mode)

What is the Constant Output of Amps needed from the batterys to run this Sofirn Q8 does anyone know ??

JasonWW · September 29, 2018, 10:16am

It does not work like that.

Any unprotected 18650 should be fine.

Are you asking what battery gives the highest output?

How many batteries do you plan to use?

The usual suggestion is 4 x 30Q button top. High drains give the best output.

If you don’t care about highest output, you can run high capacity like 3500mah as well as protected cells.

Brett · September 29, 2018, 10:38am

@ JasonWW, My self, im fine as i have a couple hundred 18650s to choose from VTC6,30Qs even some that put out a constant 35amps continuous unprotected, protected etc "but" my brother in Western Australia only has 18650s that he has taken out of old laptop battery packs & there flat tops,so he will have to solder blobs on the + end, Thats why i was wundering (to get full output) does he need 20 amp continuous from 30Qs or will protected 10 amps continuous do the job ? or would he be still getting full output with the old laptop batteries he takes out of laptop battery packs ??

Thanks...
