FREEME ✌ ASTROLUX 26800 Battery Tube for FT / EA Series Group Buy - ENDED

Sounds like a good idea. My only concern is the battery. Is there only one source and how has it been testing? I wouldn't want to a battery that isn't going to be around for long. What is it being used in?

Depending on the price (and whether they will be able to ship to my country), I’ll try to get 2pcs of each body tube type (2x FT03, 2x FT02S, 2x EA) and 6pcs QB26800.

(I’ll only order the 26800 tubes, IF the 26800 battery can be included in shipping to my country… otherwise, I won’t be able to use the 26800 tube as QueenBattery doesn’t ship to my country normally).

Depending on price, interested in one green tube for FT03, one green for FT02S, one grey tube for EA01 and three 26800 batteries.

What are the 26800 battery specs? It says 6800mAh what is the constant discharge current? I have 6400mAh 26650’s so just weighing up whether it’s worth it. Also is there only one source for this battery?

No shipping method for Philippines.

Max Continuous Discharging Current: 3C (~20A)

Vapcell INR26650 K64 is rated 15A.

MF01 Mini, EA and FT02S Tubes and end caps are fully compatible with each other. I would like to order 8 of these Tubes. 1 silver the rest black if possible.

That 6800 mah number was confirmed by Mooch at a 10 amp draw. Entry #14 by Freeme is a good set of test to look into for those wanting more information.

Cool. :slight_smile:

Interested in 2 26800 batteries and 1 gray EA 01 tube

Thanks freeme!

To begin, please put me down for 4 x FT03 tubes.

Its also great to see other manufacturers coming on board with 26800 compatible lights.

Ooops, on the list I was down for 2 batteries (gone now) -- please make it 3. Thanks!

I’m interested in blue EA01, too. Thanks!

Freeme you have me down for 4 tubes. I’m wanting 8 of the EA/ FT02S Tubes. They are identical.

2 tubes (1 EA01, 1 FT02S), and 2 cells.

Interested tubes for FT03 - 2 pcs, FT02S - 2 pcs, EA - 2 pcs

Interested in FT03 x1, EA x 2 tubes

Really sad to hear that… there is a rapidly-growing flashlight enthusiast user base here in our country. Hope they’ll be able to find some way. I’ve really been itching to try the 26800 battery form factor every since they appeared on the Nightwatch NSX4 (which I had not tried ordering from Neal, and Neal doesn’t seem to have stock of it nowadays).

As I haven’t personally tested the 26800 battery form factor yet, I’m currently unable to convince fellow local flashlight enthusiasts about this battery type since I could not have it shipped here…

BG said they will be able to ship to more countries if bundle batteries with lights. Will see how it goes.

Why is everyone so interested in a battery that is barely available with virtually no way to charge it?

Charge with Astrolux 2A built-in USB.
