It looks like mine is going to be stuck in Fontana for a longer time than I want to be stuck on the hostile surface of this earth.

Don’t despair. USPS puts their tracking number on it and it never updates until delivered.

103

Where can I get this 3x21A flat top adapter from?

104

Convoy 3x21A adapter. Try to find it or contact Convoy on AliExpress.

That being said, you don’t need it.
I have the EC06 and it works with Samsung flattop batteries (30/40T).

105

Mine doesn’t. All my flatop 30T have the contact below the border. So an adapter is necessary, or button top batteries.

106

Simon won’t sell it separately.

107

But did you try it?
It works for dozens of people, myself included.
The wrap is flexible and it moves enough that it works.
I took the batteries out quite a few times and the wrap didn’t get damaged by unscrewing and screwing tight.

108

I did try, carefully… When I return from travel I’ll try again with other batteries.

109

Checked again today. It does work with 2 and 3 batteries but not with 1, likely due to a contact in the limit of the batteries length.

This flashlight is optimized for high currents during turbo operation so a less than excellent contact is just not worth it. Thus I’m not going to put flat tops in it, particularly when the solution is so easy: I’ve put solder blobs on 3 of my flat tops, it’s really easy to do, which makes for excellent contacts. With the solder blobs it works with 1, 2 and 3 batteries without fail.

I suppose I really have poor soldering skills, or probably do not know how to properly solder, or do not have the right soldering lead or other things needed.

I’ve tried doing a solder blob (or what I think is a solder blob), but after removing / charging the battery a few times, the blob will fall off… :frowning:

I probably did something wrong with my solder blobbing… :frowning:

Don’t think you can do solid job with basic soldering iron.
But you don’t need creat a button top.
The difference between Samsung 40T (don’t make contact) and Molicel P42A (make contact) is pretty low.

Keep the surface of our cell clean and rather makes a small plain, not a hill.
Issu is the pressure the light create on our cell when you screw it.
So try to don’t make a high mount on our cell et don’t screw light too much necessary.
