I will not give up encouraging Sofirn and Wurkkos to reach out for better high drain batteries. My guess is they are somehow bound into a long-term liaison with Lishen and DLG but maybe they are willing to rewrap some Molicels or Samsungs for a moderate price.
Did they change the bundled battery with the TS30S yet? I am looking forward to that light. I have a 30Q 18650 which maybe I can use with a sleeve to compare the performance.
Unlikely. They do not have anything better than Lishen LR2170SD or Sanyo/Panasonic NCR21700A. These cells work greatly up to 10A, maybe even 15A. For the TS-series you need something with more juice like Molicel P42A, Samsung 30T/40T/50S if you want to push it to the limit.
I am not sure if that datasheet is allowed to be made public. It is from Lishen and nowhere to find on the internet (at least I did not find it after long searching :-D ).
Any info on that new Sofirn 5000mAh battery? I got one with my SC28 that I have just received from them, and I’m looking for its datasheet in order to program my MC3000 charger to best work with it.
BTW, Sofirn still points to your review (and the one by @HKJ, done at about the same time) on their product page for this battery; as the latest ones are so much better, it should be in their best interest to send you a couple so you can do a new review (tagging @Barry0892 from Sofirn to put him in the loop).
No problem, and thank you for your prompt and sincere response.
OK. Just one more question, if you don’t mind: you mentioned “The one they’re using now seems to much, much better”; was that in your own experience, or something else? Could you offer me any pointers so I can try and hunt this down?
