Thanks Fin.
I wonder how does the battery compare to the ones from other vendors who claim 700 mA. Are those vendors exaggerating their specs? Or is this a different battery?
Freeme post here shows it with a battery. Plus Gearbest website also indicates it will come with a CR123A battery. Do you have a credible source to indicate it won’t come with one?
Power supply 1 x RCR12A ( not included ) or 1 x CR123A ( included )
I’m not sure, this counts as a credible source, but Gearbest customer service says the Utorch S1 Mini doesn’t come with a USB rechargable cell:
I still think it probably comes with the rechargable cell we’ve seen, but if Gearbest can’t confirm that I’m going to wait to see what other people get. A CR123A primary cell is of no interest to me.
Yes according to Gearbest it comes with a 3.0v CR123A primary (non rechargable)
The Freeme post you linked shows a Lumintop 3.7v RCR12A (16340) Li-ion rechargeable battery, with a built in micro USB charging port.
I’d say Batch1 was referring to it not including a 16340 Li-ion, as a generic CR123A is nearly worthless (about $1.00) and not what anyone here really cares about.
.
Originally a photo in the OP in this thread also showed the 16340 USB charging battery, but it appears that photo has been deleted.
Thanks for the info guys! I thought that a rechargeable battery was included when i made my order because of the photo showing a rechargeable micro usb battery, and just now i read that actually it is not. I just made a cancellation request to GB. It is almost impossible to find such rechargeable battery shipped to my country. I hope my order is still not shipped.
Nobody knows what the final package for the S1 will be untill somebody gets a production light. I hope for a lamp like from the video.
I ordered yesterday.
Possible changes I’ve read so far:
- no Hi Led
- no Micro-USB battery
changed UI: Hold to turn off and klick to change modes.
Why is it so difficult to write a proper product description before they ship the product?
Video, GB and the Review say it’s a HI led but every pic shows a doom on the led.
Review wrote about another UI and GB writes on the order page no Micro-USB battery. Everything diverges.
