The SC600 will step down after 5 minutes
Is it not just a heat issue, hard to overcome physics on heat dissipation. Just flick it off and on again if its capable
Someone not been doing the correct research before hitting the buy button?
Did you pick up one of these? Any good?
There are cig to usb convertors and then Ive also seen usb cables for charging torches. What input does it want, usb can give 5v 1.2a apparentlyAnyone know of a cigaret charger for it, or a universal one that fits it.
Also whats the largest capacity 18650 batteries you can get.
EDIT - What's with torch reviewers using such low capacity batteries?I use 3,400mAh Samsung cells myself.
What's the advantage of a very high discharge rate when using a battery for a torch though? The discharge rate required is not that high.

Some high brightness lights have pretty high current draws, and for all cells, the higher the current draw the lower the apparent "mAh" capacity is, the cells capable of higher discharge reduce the reduction in capacity at the higher current draws.
Anyone got/tried/know of reviews for the UltraFire 18650 5600mAh 3.7V Protected Rechargeable Li-ion Battery.
It just sounds fanciful, I know 3400mah was considered higjph capacity but I can now find 4000, 5000 & 5400mah versions. Any good or just a lie/knock offs.
Although ive just started reading into this stuff it seems that panasonic make the highest capacity 18650's and that is 3400mah.
The panasonic cells are unprotected and then get bought by other companies, a protection circuit added, new wrapper applied and then sold to us as protected 18650s.
i *think* 3400mah is the highest capacity at the moment for 18650s![]()
Looking good! Now you just need some really high end torches to go with your high end batteriesThis thread is very dangerous
How can you tell if these are genuine cree LED's/decent emitters?
And ive followed mrk's and ordered a solarforce l2 host with a u2 drop-in![]()
They're probably going to be absolute crap if I'm honest. With the Ultrafire/Trustfire/Burn-your-house-down-fire batteries, the higher the "rated" capacity, the worse cells they usually use. The ones used in the "super" capacity cells are usually taken out of old clapped out laptop batteries and have a shiny label slapped on 'em, avoid them at all costs.Anyone got/tried/know of reviews for the UltraFire 18650 5600mAh 3.7V Protected Rechargeable Li-ion Battery.

I was sure to buy the most reliable batteries and charger for safety. I ended up with the AW 3400mah's and the Pila dual bay charger. Ive spent a lot more on the batteries and chargers than the torches themselves - safety first![]()
