Great test. I’m definitely interested in this light. One concern however… The test show that at 3.8v the turbo drops out of regulation. What is the resting voltage of the cell once turbo cannot be engaged anymore? The 3.8v you measured was obviously tested under load, thus voltage sag conditions, right?
So how many turbo runs can one expect from a fully charged cell?
Hello KevinZA1988,
I finally got some time and took a few measurements on 5 Turbo runs.
The measurements were taken with the included 26650 Cell.
After each Turbo run, I gave the flashlight a few minutes in order to cool-down, which also allowed the battery's Voltage to rebound.
Judging by my results, I believe 5-6 is the maximum amount of full-power Turbo runs that one can squeeze out of the cell.
Thank you so much for the tests! This seems to be a decent boost driver in this light. I am waiting to see how the Astrolux MF01 Mini turns out, then I’ll decide. This looks like a good light for extended walks at night.
This might relate to the last few posts, but I noticed that after using this flashlight for a bit anytime I try to use turbo it immediately steps down…is this because the battery is below 3.8 volts?
Hi all. I have a simple question. If with Mhvast ts70 let’s say from MID i double click and go to turbo if i click once will it go back to MID or turn of the light. And if i longpress from turbo will it go low mid high or do something else.
1. Mid > Double Tap > Turbo > Tap Mid > Tap > Off
2. Mid > Double Tap > Turbo > Long Press > Mid > Continue Pressing (button isn't held off) > High > Ultra High > Low > (Mode cycling)
