Looking for guidance. I have some very good quality laptop pulls that I would look to use in a six cell heavy modded X60. The reason is I have heard all my protected will trip as it draws over 10 amps.
If all the cells measure same voltage do you think it would be ok?
Thank you.
I’m no expert, but 6x18650 cells in series pulling 10A?
1 - I have not found any high current cells in laptops, so I doubt you will get close to 10A with them. You will likely need some high current cells to get the most out of this light.
2 - I would make sure the cells have not only same voltage, but very similar internal resistance and capacity as well so they will all drain at a similar rate.
Good luck and be careful! 
I doubt the laptop pulls will be able to deliver 10A. What cells are they?
They are red Sanyos with blue tops rated 2600ma
I think they are rated for somewhere around 5A max discharge?
EDIT - looked this up and they are rated 2C max, so 5.2A when brand new…
If you configure the cells in parallel, you will easily get well over 10A from six of them, and reduce the likelihood of mismatched cells causing explosions and such. If you need more voltage, you might still get enough amps from a 2S3P configuration. If you need 25.2v, you might try a different approach entirely. What exactly are you trying to power? You said a heavily modded X60, but what exactly is in there?
Yes - sorry, I was assuming stock X60 battery carrier, which is 6S1P. But you know what they say about assuming…
Likely I was the one who was wrong. I didn’t realize the stock holder is made for 6S, and the light is made to use it that way. It would have to be heavily modded indeed to change this.
If it is 10A over 6 cells, the cells will be able to handle it and the protection should not trip.
Thanks the light states use - High drain unprotected required for Turbo mode
So I thought the pulls would work on the 5.2a considered high drain.
I was on the Orbotronics site and saw some IMR high drians. It stinks having protected keeppower and or it rinks that are stated to trip. Not sure even where to buy these days as so many fakes. Thank you for helping. I know unprotected is more dangerous and have never used six at once. Only one in a light.
Yes, the Sanyos you have are good cells, but not considered high drain.
They would likely work for a very short time, but you would not get the output the mods were done to achieve.
If the battery carrier was not modified, and is still 6S1P, and the driver really wants 10A, then you really should pick up something like you are looking at - Samsung 20R and 25R seem to get good reviews. Rated for 20A.
Sounds like a real scorcher!
definitely go with Samsung 20R or 25R cells for any light modded to over 10 amps.
