What did you mod today?

That Christmas tree is adorable ! :partying_face:

For you modders, a battery test… I used the 458 Ham’r with it’s 17 emitters and 5 MOSFET’s to just find out what cell gives what… :smiley: This is a single cell powering the Ham’r, 10 top cells, couple of surprises…

1. Samsung 21700 30T ————- 30.3A
2. Samsung 18650 25S ————- 28.0A
3. Golisi 26650 Gold ————— 27.0A
4. Sony 18650 C5A ——————- 26.2A
5. Samsung 18650 30Q ————- 24.9A
6. Sanyo 20700A Red —————- 24.5A
7. Efest 20700 3000mAh ———- 23.4A
8. iJoy 21700 3750mAh ———— 20.4A
9. LiitoKala 5000mAh (Black) - 19.5A
10. LG 18650 HG2 ——————— 16.7A

Dale Where can I get Samsung 25S that will ship to Europe? I need some for a very high power build :smiley:

E.g. Here https://www.akkushop.de/de/samsung-inr18650-25s-2500mah-max.–35a-36v-37v-li-ion-akku/?gclid=CjwKCAiA9efgBRAYEiwAUT-jtPpZO-ADExdhY11vqhRnQcTA3kD5eKKL61FEserbL8z5EVKJ_2NiCBoC4SAQAvD_BwE
But I didn’t found the country “soldering iron” in the list of countrys they ship the items.

That’s very bad for HG2! Were the cells old, abused or something?

He’s a hungry person.

OK, I knew somwhere in east europe.
Shipping is expensive, but possible: Ungarn:14,90 €

Ungerne, aber doch :wink:

Yes! Hungary. Thank you!

A friend of mine that uses the HG2 also thought that read was low, he expected it to be as good or better than the 30Q. I have two of these, neither are very used cells, but not new either. The 30Q in this test was brand new, first time charged. I’ll recharge both HG2’s I have and test them both again to see if I just got something wrong…

Wieselflinkpro, I think SolderingIron is still a subsidiary Country located in the great Sahara, as a high desert country it’s population is low so shipping quotes may be difficult to find. Nice try though! :wink:

:smiley:

A recap on the LG cells…With both of my LG HG2 cells fresh off the charger I see 16.7A and 17.0A from the two cells as tested before on the 458 Ham’r.

I got delivery with some drivers from @Lexel today.

I modded the following flashlights:

- Astrolux MF04S with 8A Narsil Buck-Driver and Mod of battery-carryer. For the battery-carryer I used copper foil instead of a wire to make the new connection.

- Sklilhunt H03 with 3 channel FET + 7 + 1 Narsil

  • Haikelite MT09R XHP35HI Sand/Tan with 7,5A Narsil Buck-Driver (for sale in TLF in the next days)

Better he is hungry as he is thirsty. Without food you can survive more days as without something to drink.

:person_facepalming:

Language barriers, Aaaaagghh!

My favorite flashlight of all time. The Streamlight SL20X.

I think I finally did it right. Direct drive. XHP50.2 5700K

Raw aluminum version

Original Incandescent vs LED Drop In. Camera on full manual, same settings.

For 18650, VTC5D and 25S... The Best!

I got 30T's and 40T's - need to compare head to head.

You milled the adaptor?

Yes. On my new-to-me 1996 Milltronics Vertical Machining Center (which is really pis*ing me off) . Anyone here know Java Script? I need a translator. This old dog only has a couple of tricks left to learn and Java Script is NOT one of them.
