[♛ FreemeGB-NOV] Haikelite HT70 4*SST70 6500k 17000 lumens 18650 Flashlight - ALIVE!

You have to know your cells.
Sanyo GA are considered raised flat tops, not flat tops. If you look at them you can see they stick up and will make series contact.

Regular flat tops will not work.

Raised flat tops or button top will work.

Appreciate your opinions, but like I said, it is All speculation until someone tries these FT cells in this light.

Knowing cells helps but is not definitive until they are tried in the light! Every light can be different.

Still waiting for someone who actually Has the light! lol!

I hate to say this, but your quite wrong. This particular flashlight is irrelevant. It only depends on the cells. If you have 2 of a particular cell you can see for yourself if they will make contact in series or not. Or better yet, take a single cell and a straight edge and see it the top extends above the wrapper.

Look at this picture, you see there is a black ring around the brass ? disc in the middle. This means the positive battery end needs to stick up a little bit. All button tops will work. All solder blobbed flat top will work. (The black ring is there for reverse polarity protection)

Button top only. I thought i have mentioned before?

Yes you did mention it.

I will disregard the post on Banggood[Where the question was posed and replied FT will work] an one members opinion on here about FT!

Thanks

Are you still expecting December 31st as the “Target” date for NW to come to fruition?

Thanks

The package contains only a HT70.

its one of busiest holidays around corner… expect delays for packages to leave china.

Christmas is around the corner. Chinese New Year is January 25th to February 8th.

BUT his package started moving on November 26th, almost 1 month ago!There is not any progress,very little at most. :person_facepalming:

I am thankful for his post it helped me solidify my decision regarding this light. He may have to wait until late February or March! Totally unacceptable from an American standard and point of view.

I know but still keep in mind that buying stuff from china just is what it is… tons of packages end of year, and also next year when chinese new year starts…

If they were so busy they would not be sending packages between one office to another, they would simply get rid of them sending them to destination…

What is happening is what in my country we call bureaucratic gymnastics.

Thanks for the video! :smiley:

You think they are sending his packages between one office and another? I’ve never seen or heard of this happening. My assumption was the package was returned to the sender for some reason. I see this quite a lot and it’s happened to me a few times.

The tracking info is very confusing, but it looks like the first package was returned due a security concern. Maybe battery related? Hard to say.

So it looks like the package was sent again, but the 3rd party shipper sent it through a different mail hub or whatever hoping it would get through security and customs this time.

I guess we have to wait and see if it gets through.

Hi Freeme

I'm Interested

Okay.

I don’t think there is any battery, at least nowhere says it includes them, if they come… welcome…! eight 18650 would suit me very well.
But… BG sends flashlights that include batteries by SG and not by CN.

Perhaps the “security” problem is that the party has lost some apostate and they suspect that wants to flee hidden inside a Haikelite HT70.

ANY NEWS? No reply on the 18th of December[last post] hoping for one now.

Thanks

Hi Freeme, if it's not too late, I'm interested in the coupon code for the Haikelite HT70. I don't have any Haikelite lights in my current collection.

thanks!!!

Interested :slight_smile:

Suggestions on Best Batteries for this flashlight?

Button top 30Q is what I’d go with.
