Sticking to lowest ramp floor, with multimeter I get current draw:
3.5 mA with 1.2V cell
3 mA with 1.5V cell
1.3 mA with 3.7V cell
So in any case it would take few hundreds of hours do drain the cell. IMO still not long enough for always-on indicator light, but ocassionally I wouldnn’t hesitate to leave it on as a night light, as it won’t impact whole runtime too much.
Only the one that adds four more zeroes. It’s the top secret one that the military doesn’t want you to know about. You’ve probably heard about it on youtube….
I cannot find if this was mentioned, but the vapcell H10 flattop does not seem to work with my Sofirn SP10Pro. I just got one from Amazon. Maybe only button style 14500 work? there seems to be three gold conductors on the battery post of the positive terminal and they are close together. I may be missing something.
The outer two contacts are not connected electrically. They are a mechanical reverse voltage protection. A flat-top battery won’t make contact with the center contact, only the button of a button-top.
The hardware is supposed to be the same, except the microcontroller was swapped for an Anduril-compatible model, so the efficiency at a given output level should be the same.
The max brightness is the same, but gchart figured out tweaks to make in Anduril to allow the the minimum brightness to be much lower.
Thank you. So the sp10pro seems to be the better choice for me. I already got an sp10pro. Thinking of getting v3.0 bit sp10pro can be simplified enough using the simple mode.
how does the LVP looks like? From my testing, it is just stepping down quite fast and that's it, you can still force it to go up for short time. Is that it?
LVP will turn the light off completely, after repeated step downs.
chart from page 1:
.
however, batteries will rebound and the light can be turned on again, not for long though, it will turn off again more and more quickly, the more you try to drain the already empty battery.
I just took out a 2.5V 14500, because I thought I just had not calibrate the thermal sensor, and that's why it was stepping down. And I was just forcing it to go up...
When I did 3C it just blinked 7 time, and that was not what I was expecting, so took out the battery to see the voltage...
I thought It would just turn off, and then not turn on under 2.75V or so.
I know the 1.5V Ni-MH don't have the LVP, but the Li-ion mode should have one, right?
Do I just need to buy a protected 14500 cell?
