Can i add three more extension tubes to the Trustfire 3T6 so it would run of 6 3,7V batteries for a double runtime? (i know, it would be like walking with a telephonepole in you hands, but hypotehtically)
hehe, i guess But if im going to my cabin in the woods… Is it ok for the batteries to stay empty for a couple of days? Just heard that they could get defects or something if they stay drained too long…
Not to mention that you could run 10 x 18650 @ 42v in a light IF it was designed to handle 42v. The TR-3T6 is made for 3 cells max. Comparing it to another light that can use more is just silly.
Aha So the the 3T6 is wired in series? What is the different with parallel and series wiring when we’re talking about flashlights? With parallell the flashlight just take as much Volt and Current it needs to run in the different modes decided by the driver, while in series the flashlight gets as much Volt as the batteries give together?
I’m kind of a noob, but i want to learn
you can have 100 of battaries im paralel, and they will still give 4,2V max all together, you just get more capacity.
if you put them in series capacity is the same as of one battery, just gives more voltage and current P=U*I
correct me if i’m wrong
I’ve ordered the 3000mAh (2500/2600mAh) batteries. The best for its price. The runtime on High wont be much more than 1,5 hours with the best batteries i think, but if i could make the torch run parallel, i could add like 3 more batteries and make the torch go for 3 hours on high Just hypothetically speaking though…
Why don't you look into a different light designed for long runtime? Does it have to be a triple XM-L? How about this one at FastTech with 3 18650's in parallel? Get some good high capacity Panasonic 3400mAh cells (or back down to 3100mAh for cost savings) and you've got some serious runtime! You also have the added benefit of using it as a USB charger and being able to charge cells in the light. A much safer alternative to a TR-3T6. Mini-review found here.
Trustfire flames yes. I dont mean those batteries are the best, but at that price they were the best i could find.
Of course, if want even better batteries i have to double my costs
