in addition to the step down after turbo, there is also the fact that by using brighter light our eyes also downregulate our light sensitivity, so we cant see as well with dimmer light, that would have worked fine if we had not blinded ourselves by using turbo
I would gladly pay double the price for the cell if it just meant another layer of protection for the battery
faulty logic… LVP is intended to prevent the battery from getting overdischarged, too low voltage… does nothing useful until then
the real distinction between when to use a protected battery, is IF the light itself does not have built in protection, Then use a protected battery.
in the case of Anduril lights, the protection is built in to the UI… adding a protected battery does not “double the safety”.
when out in the dark and you hear a wild boar scream not far away, you want that turbo to see what’s happening.
A protected battery can put us in danger… for example, if the light shuts off completely, due to tripping the battery protection. Now we cant see the Boar at all…
imo using a protected battery with Turbo, is a bad idea. Much better to use an unprotected battery, so the light will still work after turbo (with lights that have built in LVP such as Anduril lights).
fwiw, here is a good info source about LiIon Safety
