What’s the max amps the E70 can draw? Trying to figure out which battery would be best.
I don't know about the max amps, but this is the cell that I use:
Just browsing reviews and it seems that nobody measured current, but Zeroair used a Moli P42 cell for his tests, which is up on top with the best cells for delivering whatever the driver will allow. Didn’t find pics or info about the driver, if that might help decide what’s going on. I think the Moli or 40T or 50G would probably be about the same…all able to deliver quite a bit without too much sag.
What’s the constant current for the P42A? I’ll look for a 5000mah cell. It seems the Acebeam E70 is regulated so I was curious how much the driver can pull constantly
Basically whatever the driver is allowing. Here’s HJK’s fantastic comparator for cells and currents. It’s only got cells that he has tested but he’s covered a lot of them. Select the Moli from one of the two dropdown menus and you can check or uncheck all of the amperage boxes above the graph to see its performance at those currents. You can compare by selecting another cell in the second dropdown box. Wonderful tool. I think you’ll see that the Moli is up there with the best. Since it’s a bit cheaper than Samsung or most rewraps, if they’re available to you there’s no huge reason to pick another cell right now. The 50G would be a good alternative for more capacity but the 50E has more sag at higher currents (so look at the curves but probably shorter turbo run time and perhaps shorter run time despite the capacity if it’s not able to keep up the voltage at some light settings).

It would help to know actual amps, maybe, but seeing what the Moli can deliver is a good baseline…the question being whether a “lesser” cell like the 50E may give the same performance while offering some more run time, which is possible, just depends on what the driver allows.
Max measured discharge for the Moli seems to be 25-30 amps…more than most any flashlight will pull from a single cell. Advertised as 45A I think but that’s why we value the tests from HJK and Mooch. The things like IR and voltage sag are what matter.
Thanks. I had forgotten about that site and didn’t think to use it since it says 18650 in the url
It is a well regulated light and can’t measure any significant difference in brightness performance between a 40T and 50E.
I doubt this light on turbo pushes more then 7-8Amps so ucan use a 50E samsung for good capacity and be good. So u dont really need a highdrain battery really. I would go for a protected keeppower maybe.
