due to my curiosity... I ran 2 more runtime test against the older S1R and S1R battery -- ORB-163C05 and I'm surprise by the results... I guess what I'm posting below may upset certain quarter... haha... anyway, here goes... first, I perform a runtime test using older S1R Baton to give a comparison of how the high mode on this new S1R Baton II stack against the older S1R Baton...
Looks like no surprises here, the lower output of S1R (2016) resulted in longer runtime for the battery.
and next, I use the older model ORB-163C05 battery (note this is a fresh new battery never used before to give a fair comparison) in the new S1R Baton II, and following is the results:
errr... so... hmmm... it looks like I need to stand corrected, now I'm not so sure about the improvement to the IMR battery... (question remains if the new ORB-16C05-10C is more durable? 10C discharge claim? or...), from the chart, you can clearly see that the older ORB-163C05 gives a bit longer runtime, ~4 minutes longer.
[quote=EDCba] Wow fast review. Did you check battery and light's over discharge protection? Runtime on moon is a lot shorter than other similar lights. [/quote]
yes, there is over discharge protection in S1R Baton II, the light will turn-off when the battery running out of juice.
