So I have multiple Eagtac lights, and all of them at first I thought suffered bad parasitic drains and discharged the batteries, resulting in a step-down very early. But now I find that all of them simply cannot maintain any sort of ideal high brightness, even when not hot. It’s as if the temp sensor gets crazy and starts turning it down after 7 seconds.
Has anyone had this problem? How do I disable this feature?
My Eagtac DX3B had crazy parasitic drain. While off, it would drain a full cell to empty in less than a day.
Turns out it was something going on with the charging board. I opened it up an accidentally tore off the wires for the charging board. The wires were so tiny I couldn’t actually see where all of them attached so couldn’t reattach them. I ended up cutting off all the charging board wires and reassembling the light.
Without the charging board, the super-high parasitic drain is gone. No idea why that happened.
Mine has never had an issue with temperature stepdown. It maintains turbo or close to it for multiple minutes. The entire light gets quite hot actually.
Thanks. Mine can, at times, run super-long and super-hot, but some wiring issue is causing this, which may, in fact, be a parasitic drain issue.
