Convoy T6 Review: Incredible Throw in a Compact Package!

LED Flashlights – General Info

You’re right! The funny thing is that when I checked it yesterday, it still said FET for 14500. I guess Simon read this thread and changed it! Good. That should end some confusion.

So as long as a light has LVP, I cant really harm a cell?

23

But as long as the light has LVP I shouldn’t have to worry about this?

Thanks for the help…

Yes, it should be as safe as pssoble that way. Be sure to get a cell with sufficient continuous discharge rate for the light. If you have certain lights and cells in mind feel free to start a new thread with your questions.

I’ll add that 2.2V is not a sufficiently low voltage to ruin or damage a liion cell. That cell is perfectly fine.

Sanyo and Sony have publications which state 1.0V is the “do not recharge” voltage, and there are various white papers which drain cells to 1V, 0V, and even negative voltage repeatedly, and the cells are surprisingly robust at positive voltages of 1V or greater, suffering only a minor reduction in overall cycle life. Use your own discretion and evaluate cells on in individual basis, but I am not worried about reviving cells which have a resting voltage of >1.0V, and which perform as expected after revival.

Yeah I’ve got a couple examples of accidentally running 18650 down to reading 0v on my xtar vc4sl by putting them down on moonlight accidentally and they bounced back to full capacity.
