I’m new to ‘fancy’ flashlights and especially the batteries used to power them and the more I read the more paranoid I’m getting about the batteries. Im sorry if some of the questions have been asked before but obviously there’s a lot of posts to sift through.
I have ordered an Astrolux EA01s which is capable of 11000 lumens and I have been told I will need a battery with around 30A continuous discharge to be able to power the 11000 lumens so I’ve bought the Samsung 40T. This battery is unprotected but have been told that the Astrolux has built in protection to prevent over charging and overcharging and therefore minimising the risk of fire or explosion (I plan on using the flashlight’s inbuilt charging).
Would having a protected battery reduce the risk further or will it not make any difference being as the flashlight has protection? If it adds more protection the most powerful I’ve found has a continuous discharge of 15A. I assume this would be fine up to around 5000 lumens, what would happen if I accidentally switch the flashlight onto turbo (11000 lumens) would it potentially damage the battery and/or risk causing a fire/explosion or would it simply just not reach the top luminosity but the battery would be fine?
Lastly what causes a li-ion battery to over discharge?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
