I know you’re supposed to use new batteries of the same brand, capacity and charge/discharge cycles for giggles. I have 8 sanyo 18650ga flat tops with 3500mah and they are both around the same amount of discharge/charge cycles. Does it have to be exact, or if it’s a couple off is that ok? Thanks all!
not sure if it was just because of my acct, but i just got the nitecore i8 8bay charger for $29 on amazon—for those of you looking for a 8 slot charger for this set of batteries
Rcvd the light today……holy hell is it big hahahaha still feels good in the hand tho. only one coating blemish in a heat ring that can be covered easily. Everything else appeared intact and without flaws. Battery tube was dirty but not an issue. Overall 110% satisfied with purchase!!! Thanks everyone for the great light.
One question though - Are the battery springs on the carries supposed to be so light pressure?
The springs are a bit light when used with unprotected cells but are nice and tight with protected cells. Lumintop focuses on protected cells for their lights, so it kind of figured they would follow this design.
Personally I wish they were a bit longer to hold the unprotected cells a bit better but they are good enough. I have not had any issues with them.
It is best for all 8 to match but yes, as long as the 4 in each carrier match, you will be ok. I have been using both of my GT’s with 30q/HE4’s in 1 carrier and laptop cells in the other. Not officially recommended but it works fine.
