Just got kind in last week, love it but notice 30q’s I have won’t hold turbo once they get to about 3.5v each, or so. I may have a bad 30q unnoticed when charging, but that’s a different problem.
Question to anyone who knows-
Can you use flat tops in this MF02s V2? It looks like you can with the brass tabs in the battery tube, it I just wanted to see if anyone has been successfully doing this before I order some Molicel P26a flat tops.
oh man, thank you Funtastic! that is great information and i really appreciate the quick response to this, very helpful! Looks like P26’s or VTC5a’s are what i need then.
Also, i really enjoy the YT channel, i think it is you that has been posting great thrower reviews lately, convoys, etc? If not sorry, but if it is you, keep them coming they’ve been helping me a lot!
I believe the earlier MF0x models use this kind of battery carrier (with a plastic washer which prevented most flat-tops from making contact — an added protection in case battery is inserted incorrectly)
Newer MF0x series likely use this kind of battery carrier, so flat-tops work now (but be careful not to insert battery upside down, which will create a short and will just burn out the springs, assuming not-so-worse case scenario)
That is a good comment DTA made and reminded me that there’s a long version that uses 8x 18650’s. Do you have the short or long version? The short version can use flat tops no problem, but no idea on the long version.
I haven’t for a little while, but have got a few on there of the Convoy’s. I have another on the way of the Convoy Z1 with Osram CSLPM1 vs SST40 since I can’t find a video of it.
DTA - the short version doesn’t have a battery carrier, only the long version
I don’t have an MF02S v2 at this time… the pictures were from an MF02 battery carrier and MF04 battery carrier — I thought the MF02S v2 used the same battery carrier as the MF02 and MF04, but it looks like they don’t.
I have the short version and it does not have a battery carrier, it is “built in” with the tailcap having buttons and springs and a mcpcb screwed in at the head side of the battery tube.
But to agree with Zoulas, I have always wondered how people insert the batteries in the wrong way (i just read a comment a week or two ago about someone ruining a $300 light that didn’t have RPP because the battery went in the wrong way). I guess if you just aren’t paying attention because putting batteries in seems like such a menial task that would make sense. i hope it never happens to me!
