Review: Trustfire Mini-01

[MattSPL]

My Mini-01 arrived the other day. I ordered one after reading about them here
They are a great little light.

I’m using LifeP04’s in mine.
I noticed the maximum rated voltage is 3.6volts. Is it safe to run 3.7v(4.2v) 16340’s or IMR’s in this light?

Cheers
Matt

I’ve just ordered a couple of Yezl 16340’s to try. They are rated at 3.2A max discharge, so should do the trick.

Hmm… I think those batts are high end? Any budget options? UF protected? (grey ones)?
I like Trustfire flames but I think its too big for this baby. Thx

I’m getting good results with Ultracell 16340 LifeP04’s off ebay. £1.56 for 1 including free postage.
The have an unrealistic 1200MAh printed on them, but i’m getting the same performance as AW’s 500mAh lifeP04’s.
Only thing is with them not being protected, there is the danger of running them too low in the little Mini-01.

Dunno what’s up, but someone said the magical words “TEN DOLLAR” so I’m in, too.

Same here! But make it 2…one for me and one for my son.

Good stuff
What charger are you using?
I’m using an Xtar mp2 on the 3v setting. Seems to be a nice charger.
I had an Ultrafire WF138A, but it was faulty.
