I replied here to Bort’s post, that you cannot get more than 2.1A even without a carrier, I am not talking about the XinTD in the OP or how many amps the Eneloops can do. From personal experience I know they can do more than 2.1 in a carrier, in this case the carrier made by me, and I even read as high as 3.47A with another driver. So what I want to say it’s 3 Eneloops in series can go over 2.1A in a carrier.

I made 2 video because actually I had a problem fitting the cells into the c88. It’s a 2.8A driver.

Please do not post how the voltage will drop, that is not my point.

very impressive, i’m assuming thats the T6 you mentioned, and also i used second gen eneloops with the white labels, not the 2500mAh ones you are using

It’s actually another T6 yes, this one is 3C. On my old tests I have used the 2000mAh ones, but I do not have them anymore as I sold them and got these XX black ones last week, HR-3UWXA.

The U2 has a higher forward voltage then the T6, and so will an XM-L2, but if those batteries you have can get full output on this new light then i am very interested

I have shown you an U2 2C that I have and it’s VF compared to a T6 1A, 0.01V higher, so doing that test won’t change much. I do not know if you saw that post.

I did, and i found the post i was referring to earlier

Non related question, at what voltage does the C8 start going under 2.8A

C8 (XM-L U2): drops out of regulation (2.8A) around 3.55V, hits 2.0A around 3.40V
M1 (XM-L T6): drops out of regulation (2.8A) around 3.50V, hits 2.0A around 3.30V

parenthesis are info added by me so you don’t have to read the whole thread to get the info

Thermal Performance Tests on Popular Light Models

In response to a post by Old-Lumens where he did a tear-down of the Nitecore EA8, I did some less destructive testing of my own on some lights. The responses were such that I felt the need to expand the testing to more lights. So here it is, my Thermal Performance test thread. In the original thread I compared the EA4W to a heavily modded HD2010. First off, those lights are not in the same class so I moved the HD2010 to a separate graph (since I have not tested another big light, I left the …
