16340 real run times

Hi all

I have 12 16340 TF grey protected and 4 AW Blue protected.

When I run them on my Trustfire F21(XR-E) I get run times of 28 to 35 minutes, Batteries charged to 4.20v and the light driving at 1.2Amps.

When I run it on my other modded light running XP-G at 1.8amps to 1.9amps I get run times between 10 to 15mins. Sometimes it runs for 2-3 mins and then shuts off.

I know that it's pushing 3C and it's not good for the battery and there maybe a lot of Battery sag.

Can 16340 batteries really pull over 1amp with decent run times?

What real run times are you getting and how many amps it is pulling?

My Trustfire Mini-01 pulls 2.2-2.4A from a Yezl 16340, and 2.8-3A from an AW IMR 16340. I haven’t measured total run times, but output gradually dims through the duration of the cell.

My Olight S10 pulls 1A from a Yezl, or AW IMR.
I measured 1hr 11min with the Yezl, and 47 minutes with the AW IMR.

Check my comparator and reviews, there is 2A and sometimes 3A traces.
