Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Interesting, a XHP70.3…
Still for $10.50, I may have to give it a try…

I bought a couple of these shops lights —Last night I decided to try one out in the driveway —- I blinded myself from the reflection off of my white van —- I kept seeing the image of all those LEDs — this thing is stupid bright

I’m afraid of it. Also their math about 10000 mah is wrong.

It’s 2x5000mAh, as 2x26650 cells. Just over $10 is terribly inexpensive… which speaks volumes about the flashlight. I wouldn’t trust those 26650 cells, as they must be some sort of $1 cheapie in there. Not going to trust that built-in charger either!

ok.
it is Target.
$8, usually $42.
abundant parts bins.

Ie, nuttin’.

What’s their deal?

They’re claiming 10000 mah but 2 series cells don’t double the capacity, only the voltage. Not a big misstatement but I still wouldn’t trust them.

The quotes below are from two of the Amazon reviews for this light and imply the cells are in parallel which would double the mAh capacity:

I am not purchasing this light, but reading the reviews was interesting.

The pictures show them in series.

Yea it comes with a big double length battery that’s supposedly two cells in parallel. But it also will work with two bare cells in series. I guess it can handle both voltages then? Decoding crappy product listings is a fun part of this hobby.

The flashlight bodies are plastic, and the lithium ion battery is not removable, but these might be appeal to someone.

At least the price is right.

Hi folks,

I don’t know if its necessary to post these photos, but just in case there were others in our forum that did purchase
this PowerExtra 300 power bank, I thought you might want to see the primary electronic boards inside it as seen below.
I didn’t remove the bottom portion, but there may be thirty (30) 18650 cells that power it. If correct, it’s a lot of cells, but
I wish they had used less cells and 26650’s. All has been perfect with this unit, and I’m very pleased with it. The original
Amazon seller has sold out of them and I didn’t include other Amazon dealers that sell it under a different name. But if anyone
is interested, a quick Amazon search should lead you to other dealers.

I was happy to see a very neat assembly job, nothing loose and very secure.

since i am not a Sofirn fan,
i am unsure if this is a deal:

“What’s their deal?”

well, that is the last time i post anything from Target.
it sold out everywhere (?) in minutes or seconds.

Appreciate all the deals you post!

This is not a deal. You can get it routinely on AliX for no more than $28.69. And with the 11/11 deal upcoming in just 2 days it will drop in price to $23.79 and this is for the full kit including battery.

Last month i ordered two of this same kit for $25.54 but they've artificially jacked the price up to make the upcoming sale look even better.

Here's the link to their store on AliX:

My Avast antivirus won’t let me open myvipon.com now. Says the site is infected with URL:Scam.
Avast has been a bit overzealous at blocking websites before (it hated the original Sofirn.com site), so I don’t know if this is a valid issue.
