Olight's new 2.4v battery - what's in it?

I got one of these lights for free on the last sale and I would rather them have sent me a i3T so I could use AAA cells or get 500 plus lumens out of a 10440. At least it takes all AA cells so that is about it.

Do you dislike it enough to unwrap the battery and reveal the secrets? Because that would be cool.

I ordered one of the new i5R Cu, will do some testing when it arrives. Discharge curve should be able to tell the chemistry or if it’s flat it might be a 900mAh 14500 with an step down converter.

2.4V could also indicate 2x Nimh in series but highly unlikely, and it would be more expensive to make a custom usb to nimh charging circuit.

I wonder if it would’ve costed less to change the driver to be compatible with li-ion as well.

Did you ever look at the battery?
