We can't really tell for sure if it's 4S1P or 2S2P can we? DX specs says 8.4v, but you can't trust that.

I’ve been waiting for this! Now how lift the current flashlight embargo……
if 4p, would need to mod battery config or find a 3A+ boost driver. Aside from big money for a taskled driver, there is not such beast afaik.
From aliexpress I can see it is parallel battery config. 4P1S.

That was my hunch.
EDIT - this must be the photo you saw:

Yessir! Just couldn't get the dang photo link to work and lost my patience :-)
That (4p) with an electronic switch on the side… I’d buy it instantly and swap the driver.

I know what you mean, some of these sites make it darn difficult to figure out their photo links! I've learned a few tricks recently.

You sure must have. Thank you by the way. It was kind of you to do that :-)
I think you guys are right… that’s probably a normal clicky switch, which is reasonable since listed current rating is only 1.8A.
Unmodded, this will be a spectacularly underperforming light for the price. But of course - it’s the modding potential that hooks. Wonder who’ll cave in first.
You can probably count on it being the normal 5 mode driver with pseudo-direct drive on high, somewhere around 2.5A
4.5a xp-g2 on sinkpad, awesome thrower. 8)
Good for folks that need the extra run time, I guess...

dedomed of course!

with 4x 3400s you would get around 3 hours on high!
If it was an electronic side switch, I’d buy it in an instant. I bet you could put the battery tube from a SRK on it and have a 4P twistie
It’s just a few cuts, wires, and solder blobs away from a 2S2P battery config.
I’m on the edge with this.
Two options for me:
- XM-L2 (possibly dedomed) on copper at 5A+ (no battery tube mod for this)
Group buy. $30.00?

Id be in this! Make it happen.
Since Sanyo ZT’s and FM’s stay above 3.5V during most of their discharge cycle, I wonder how well they would drive a +5A 7135 based driver with MTG2? Only 1.25A per cell…
