could someone help me.
I have the astrolux ft03, I’m using a sofirn 26650 mah, 25a, discharge battery. My question is, this battery can use all the power of the flashlight?
You can probably squeeze a little more with 30-35 amps.
There’s not just a single FT03 model, which LED is installed?
You don’t need more than 15 amps discharge for battery
With SFT40 max amps are 10.
But with SBT I don’t know
I asked this in another thread, but no answer so far.
Figured I could ask it here as well.
I’m very interested in the FT03s with SFH55.
Unfortunately it does not come with a battery.

Can anyone tell me if these are good quality cells?
I have no experience with Astrolux or buying any bare cells online.
All my flashlights have come with the appropriate cell included.
Thanks.
I don’t think anyone can tell you that since no one has reviewed them. Why not just grab a Samsung 40T?
that should be enough no matter what emitter u have.
You’re wrong though. 25A rating doesn’t mean it’ll hold a high voltage on a high amp load. You’d need to see a graph to know that. I have a Sofirn 26650 and it’s no where near as good as a high drain 21700, especially for the new FT03 at 9300 lumens. Even the XHP50.2 version performs 500 lumens higher with a 40T than Sofirn’s 26650
if its a good battery there will be no issues. but yeah 21700 holds better. but there exists good 26650.
To the OP, I unfortunately do not know where you are able to find authentic quality cells in Brazil (or a retailer that ships to Brazil), but I only use molicel p42a 21700 or Samsung 40t batteries in my high output/ high amperage lights. I have not seen any reviews of the Astrolux batteries you referenced but my assumption is that of course Astrolux is not making their own batteries, and they may be rewrapping a Lishen or possibly lesser quality cell. Given the price I doubt it is higher quality. But Lishen is good, and I believe sofirn uses Lishen batteries too.
but my point is that you would serve yourself much better using a Samsung, molicel, Or Murata (Sony) 21700 instead of a rewrapped "lower power" cell with a light like the ft03 or especially ft03s. Now, if you have the sft40 version, then the Astrolux cell will be fine, because even if it can hold 10-12amps CDR, you will have all the power you need.
for my sft40 ft03 I ran a 10amp 5000mah Lishen 21700 and it was great.
40T is very good battery. One in sofirn q8 pro give 29 amps. Kaboom
Astrolux doesn’t make cells, so who knows what they’re using?
Chris
agreed. I was merely guessing, but they could be using any cell under that wrapping. And that could be a bad thing. I would buy Samsung, molicel, Panasonic, Sony murata, or even Vapcell if you can.
I dont have the money to waste, but I almost want to just grab some (of the Astrolux cells) and cut the wrapper off to see what they really are. And then we can all know.
Yea, I don't know if it's a guarantee you will see the original mfg wrapper underneath though. Usually they probably do leave it though. Maybe I will haha
There should be some sort of indentifing printing on the bare metal can though shouldnt there?
yes correct, there should be you are right. I forgot about that !
Id like to see a thread started called “Whats under the wrap?”
Where someone, or anyone posts pics of unwrapped re-wraps.
I can contribute this so far.
Its the cell from an Olight S2R Baton II
Edit: In fact, I may just try and start that and see if it takes off.
Hi there, I just wanted to know if I can use the shockli 26650 battery on astrolux ft03 if not please suggest a better battery that I can use. Thanks
Just to add my two cents; I have the FT03 with SFT-40 and I can see a difference when using the Samsung 30T instead of the 40T.
Since it’s a thrower I guess there’s a higher benefit than when using some other LED with more flood.
