Review: Small Sun ZY-T08 2 x 18650 (Parallel)

H) :beer:

Plastic. Any button top cells will run this, but the smaller the button the better.

Don’t worry about the plastic reflector, it works, be happy.

now im really confusing about what battery to buy, not the very expensive one i think

what about this http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/efest-sanyo-protected-18650-37v-2600mah-rechargeable-battery-pairset-p-11591
or

The above mentioned ebay pot looks good. 360° full turn -> 0.7-0.8ohm, minimal resistance ~0.03ohm, max ~19.3ohm,

Thanks viffer, I’ll go find the link again and order a few for stock.

Edit :- just ordered 8, £2.54 8)

Can’t wait for them to arrive now, give this light the current it deserves. J)

Mine arrived last week but I haven’t had a chance to install any of them in any lights yet.

There is an ultrafire version which is the same as the small sun at Banggood for $24.99

Is that yours or a stock photo? If it's yours, any report on tailcap current, build quality, etc . . . ?

It's mine, same as the Small Sun 2.02amps on with one battery.

Hmm, slightly better price, about $1, but will wait for further report on the quality.

Well, not like MF ones are consistently good anyway :bigsmile:

I’ve submitted product request at fasttech for T08 and T13 before this, hope it gets through.

so, where to by a small sun-t08 best price?

manafont

thanks :slight_smile:

just ordered it, and 2xncr18650a 3100 from fasttech :slight_smile:

so i received the batteries, will they fit into the small sun?

Yes, no problem. As long as their button tops.

I would be Very Carefull with Wide + Button Batteries. If they Span over 26mm they may Short to - GRD.

I can say my protected KeepPower Panasonic 3100's from KumaBear fit in my ZY-T08 just fine. I expect yours will be ok too.

It’s my 1-st post on BLF so hello everyone flashoholics :slight_smile:
I decided to buy this flashlight for example there: CLICK Anyone has Small Sun ZY-T08 from this site?
I have a lot of cells 18650 but all are unprotected so could someone confirm built in voltage protection? If not, which flashlight will you suggest? My aim:

- throw

- 1 (or 2) unprotected 18650

  • budget under $30
    I read that Small Sun ZY-T13 and Romisen RC-T602 are also good choice. How about built in voltage protection? Any other suggestion?

hi, welcome to blf!

i just recieved mine from manafont today, but hadn’t time to test it out… anyway fasttech is a popular site among blf members and i highly recommend it, bought 2xncr 18650a there.

i also recieved a xintd c8 v3 with u3 from intl-outdoor, and this one is a “must have” for all the forum members, hope u got enough spare $$$ :smiley:
