✌ FREEME- ASTROLUX MF01 Mini 7*SST20 CRI95 26650 ANDÚRIL Flashlight Group Buy - $45.99

Im impressed with the battery they shipped, i got over 5500mah when i charged the battery from around 3V… not bad.

What battery is it?

Any suggestions on where to get a new glass lens for it? I love the light, but dropped it and glass cracked. It is measuring 40mm diameter and 2mm thickness. I can’t find any of that size anywhere.

I’ve never ordered from them before, but it seems like https://www.flashlightlens.com/ is a popular option (especially the UCLp) with lots of sizes

Thanks for the suggestion. Ordered one from them, the prices are good as well.

Purchased, Thank

its a wrapped green cell, not much info but

About 26650 Battery:
Name: HLY 26650 Power Battery
Capacity: 5000mAh
Material: 3C

wonder which OEM …

I think they are cheap generic cells. You’d need to measure the amps it pulls in your mini to get an idea how powerful it actually is. I believe that’s the cell that came with my Cometa. High capacity, but weak. I’m thinking of a different cell.

Your colors look strange.

It is included in a lot of Banggood lights.

I dont know if anyone has officially tested it.

Might be new wrap.

I doubt they switch to a different cell based on where it’s being shipped to.

These are add-on batteries that Banggood are using on a lot of lights. I’m guessing they bought them based on a low price.

I dug up the green cell that came with my Cometa that I bought at Banggood. It’s the same exact color, but Vapcell Vappower brand 5200mah. That’s the weak one.

I really dont know much about the green HLY cell other than they are inexpensive. Hopefully someone can do some amp draw tests and see how it compares to known, tested cells.

Yeah its the same as mine but green… i know its not the best cell but it works ok.

The 26650 that comes with Cometa is Vappower (not Vapcell… lest they get angry…), I also have it, and appears to be a weaker cell (higher IR).

The HLY seems to compare similarly to the Liitokala Lii-50A (black) — at lower current drain (ie. when doing a discharge test @ 1A discharge current of a fully-charged Lii-50A alongside a fully-charged HLY 26650, they seem to track close to each other, at least at 1A).

Tried using the HLY and Lii-50A on MF01-Mini, seems to yield almost similar Turbo brightness (ceiling bounce, and with lux meter to compare).

The HLY 26650 comes in 2 types: beige and light green. I “guess” the beige one has a slightly newer date code than the ‘light green’ HLY (I’m just guessing the date code markings). I measure AC IR (using YR1030 resistance tester) of ~17mOhms for the HLY 26650. (for Lii-50A, I get different AC IR for different batch, but most are around 17-18mOhms AC IR when measured using the YR1030).

*re “date code” of HLY, only my “guess”, the last 2 digits of the 1st group of 8 alphanumeric characters is probably the year of manufacture (the ‘light green’ has “18” for 2018 and the ‘beige’ HLY has ‘19’ which probably means 2019 year of manufacture.

Geez, I keep getting the name wrong. :person_facepalming:

Too many battery brands.

How does this compare to the Fireflies E07?

a little bigger and more bulky… if u want something smaller get the e07… both heats up quite fast on turbo though.

Fireflies doesn’t have USB charging, Astrolux Mini does. But thermal dissipation not well implemented, to say the least. :frowning:
