Could anybody please tell me why my Sanyo’s out perform the TFF in all but my XPG? If you look below it will explain it a little better. I must also point out that the Sanyo’s are NOT protected and the TFF are.
All Solarforce bodies with P60 drop-ins from Dino.
Sanyo TFF
XML T6 UF 2.5A 1.9A
XML T6 Stars 2A 1.5A
XPG R5 950mA 1.4A
All on High and all looks as it should but for the fact that the XPG pull a lot more From the TFF. Anyone know why?
kind regards,
Marc
One theory would be that if you flip the situation around, the Sanyos are better than the TrustFire Flames under a higher load. As you probably know, the Sanyos sustain a high voltage under a large current load which is seen in the cases with your XM-L’s.
Perhaps the Flames have a higher voltage under a lighter load.
Yeah I follow you, but the Sanyo’s outperform the TFF in my XML’s when I put them on Med.
Thanks for your reply,
Marc
Good point. Is the cells’ tops different? There might be a resistance difference when you’re using the XP-G drop in.
I’d love to hear other theories as well. 
The Sanyo were flat tops but I put a nice blob of solder on top. It doesn’t maKe a lot of sense to me, especially .9A to 1.4A, that’s quite a jump!

My guess is there is some sort of driver difference going on here.
What do you mean? And how would it draw less from a better battery?
Kind regards, Marc.
I'm certainly no expert, but I would guess that for whatever reason the driver works better off of the lower voltage. For example if it were a purely linear buck driver it will generate more heat from a 4 volt battery than from a 3.5 volt one. But I'm not sure myself.
My guess is a different state of charge.
What do you mean? They were charged using the same charger to the same voltage 4.16v.
Kind regards, Marc.
