Acebeam X75 Extended Battery Pack

Arrived yesterday. It includes a slip-on aluminum cover for the front of the pack when not installed and a screw on rear cover for the USB port that is identical to the one on the stock battery pack. The back end of the pack also includes a rotating sling or lanyard attachment ring. Combine this with a screw-in carabiner clip D ring for the tripod socket and you have a convenient carrying strap/sling two point attachment for the light as with the extended battery pack the light is about 60 ounces or 3.75 pounds. The added weight and length shifts the balance point for the light on the handle from the first finger position to the second finger, so a fairly minor shift.

Below is a diagram I found on Reddit showing the increased run times for the light with the standard versus extended battery packs.

Very little info seems to be out there concerning extended battery packs from manufacturers who have them available including Nitecore who has long had a version available for many of their TM Tiny Monster series of lights.

As near as I can calculate it with their differences in output voltage and the capacity of the Acebeam pack listed by Battery Junction the Acebeam and Nitecore battery packs have virtually the same power capacity. The Nitecore version has all the cells in parallel so puts out standard lithium ion single cell nominal voltage of 3.6/3.7V average while the Acebeam pack has the batteries in series/parallel and is listed as outputting 14.4V. The Acebeam pack lists it’s contents as eight 21700 cells equivalent and obviously they need to be very high current continuous discharge rate batteries. The Nitecore pack claims to be equivalent to eight 18650 cells. Per Battery Junction’s listing the Nitecore NBP68HD battery pack fits the following TM series lights so is quite versatile.
