Ps. Sorry about the missing pics in my reviews. My photo host upgraded to new version and the old links don't work for some reason. Please be patient. I'm working on it..
Hi _the_, could you do this test if you have time and want to?
Because visually I don't note difference when using with ONE battery than with four, so I think it would be interesting to know if with lower voltage it stills with same output.
These are flat tops. You need Orbtronic or AW button tops. The best for the King…… Of any light…. I have seen a lot of batteries come and go, damaged, burnt, self destruct, but the Orbtronics keep on ticking and after 10 charges get stronger !
II would recommend flat top AW’s. With any light that requires direct PCB to battery contact, button tops will damage the surface unlike a spring. You can use button top spacers. AW’s are widely known for there 1600mah red label
cells they made a few years ago, discharge 9-10amps. Oh, and Black Label 32650’s and 26500 as well…
Manny - I just purchased a bunch of Panasonic’s. I’ll alternate between them an AW’s.The 18650 cell
in your pic im assuming is yours? Can you tell me if in fact that is is a red ring around the top or positive end?
The ones i have do have a button although it appears to be a bit more recessed than the Panasonic in your pic.
The cells i have are identical to this one
side note, AW purchases highest binned raw cells from Panasonic …
The red ring is on the plastic cover, once removed the red ring is gone. The best are Panasonic cells, Orbtronic are Panasonic cells and they are better built ! Orbtronic cells have a different weld spot on positive to negative protection… They are a hell of a battery !!! They come from Clearwater, Florida and customer service is #1. I have been a flashaholic for almost 10 years on CPF for 4yrs. And new to BLF…. Just read this:
great review, i’ve been running my skyray 40 mins straight temperature seems to be over 65c very hot to touch i recok it’ll cook an egg lol light output is consistently good so i turn it off didnt want to fry it anyone got run times on the new panasonics 3400mahs ? really love this monster its my favourite light apart from the most used tank e09 keychain light. all my p60s collection dust now.
