I just measured the current draw of my T6. Measurements were taken at the tail cap. Battery was a recently charged Vapcell H10 button top. I looped through all four modes several times. The numbers stayed the same except for the max which reduced while I was watching. Numbers are in mAh.
50
374
1445
3340
The reason for this test is that I was wondering which battery to order for this light. It looks like the Vapcell H10 Is the only choice at this time. If anyone knows of another 14500 battery that might be usable please recommend. By the way, this light only works with button top batteries.
I wait to receive T6 and I can’t wait to try it and compare with Wurkkos TS12.
Driver of T6 push 5 Amp to led on 100% mode so only Vapcell H10 has that discharge rate.
For first 3 modes 1,10 and 30% I think that every quality 14500 will do the job, so You can use vapcell F12 and F15 which have bigger capacity and better runtime. F12 and F15 have 3 Amps max constant current but I think that they can sustain a short burst of 100% mode use. I cannot find tests of this big capacity batteries with 5 Amps discharge.
I have only two 14500 batteries which can sustain more than 5 Amps - Sony 680 mah and Enercig 650 mah and I test it in Wurkkos TS12 against Wurkkos 900 mah battery which is I think is 3 Amps max constant discharge and there is no differencies except on turbo mode where Enercig give about 3.3 Amp, Sony 3.1 Wurkkos 2.7 amps. It is tailcup current measured with multimeter Aneng 8009 on 10 A range, so we can conclude that the real current are higher when we eliminite inside resistance of multimeter. Wurkkos give specs of 1350 lumens for TS12 and sell battery cell with it which can’t push enough current to sustain it.
In this moment I don’t know nothing about characteristics of convoy AA - 14500 driver of T6 but I think that on 100% with stepdown it can’t give more than 15-20 min usefull runtime so It will be smarter to use it for longer runtime on max 30% and in that case Vapcell F12 and F15 will do the job.
For flat top batteries You can use convoy adaptors.
