It died

Hey here is my dilemma i have a couple of C-8’s that I picked up and everyone of them died, Some run 10 mins then dead. Some run 3 or 4 time next time on die or very dim in all modes . As you can see in the pics the part# 6021 has changed in shape and when it goes you can smell it.Have done every thing you can think of battery change out check volts , thermal paste ….

what batteries are you running them on?

Also, have you got a link for where you got them from as the brass contact ring in the pill suggests better tgan your average crap.

Laptop - fandyfire-ultrafire- trustfire-sonshine I have tried them all as for dealer I would lie to keep that anonymous.

any idea what the current draw was?

2.9 4.2v
1.1
.1

that’s not excessive then, what is the driver diameter? I would be tempted to just fit qlite drivers from intloutdoor and move on, they at least give nice mode options and nanjg drivers are pretty robust.
