    Ultrafire battery charger and RCR123 cells

    Bolts: Room temperature the whole time. Batteries: Warm, nowhere near hot, what I'd expect after a charge. Time: ~15-20 minutes to charge both from the point my light turns off from under voltage. Lights: Batts go in, lights turn red and flicker, then turn green when done.

    Ultrafire battery charger and RCR123 cells

    I've been charging these same four IMR 16340's with the setup pictured above for over a year now without any issues.

    Surefire 6P LED + Malkoff M60 + LIGHTSAVER Miser ?

    Sorry to hear that. I'm actually still using the Miser with the M60 (not the M60L) without any trouble.

    Surefire 6P LED + Malkoff M60 + LIGHTSAVER Miser ?

    I use 2x AW RCR123 cells with my M60 and it works great, this is the ideal setup for this drop-in. Yes the M30 is designed for only one cell. I'd use either an 17670 with the stock body tube or an 18650 with a Solarforce L2 tube. I've heard of this done, but for $14 I'd say that a new 18mm...

    The stock LED is about 100 Lumens or so, the M60 is about 235. The reason I started this tailcap thread is because it SO bright that I needed lower levels for things like reading maps in cars etc. It's a great drop-in, I wouldn't run anything else after owning this.

    The M60 is designed to run on 2 cells (~7.4 volts) The M30 is designed to run on 1 cell (~3.7 Volts). You must never run two cells with an M30, it will destroy it. From their site: M60 "The input voltage is 3.8 - 9 volts. Below 3.8 volts it will drop out of regulation and run direct...

    Also there is another behavior I noticed, you can momentary any setting by press/holding the button once you reach that setting. So say you wanted to momentary 25%, you would do :click, click, press/hold (for as long as you wanted it on), then releasing the button would turn the light off.

    Any click after it's been on in any mode for 3 seconds turns it off. Any push/hold longer than 1 second is treated as momentary and when released it turns off. If you wanted to go to 25%, then turn it off you would do: Click, click, click, wait 3 seconds, click.

    Retested using new batteries in the meter and two cells fresh off the charger. Each cell reads 4.13V, 8.24V in series. Stock 6PL tailcap draws .5A @ 7.7V. LIGHTSAVER Miser draws: 1 click: .7A @ 6.85V, 4.8W, 100% 2 clicks: .4A @ 6.85V, 2.74W, 57% 3 clicks: .2A @ 6.85V, 1.37W, 29% 4 clicks...

    I found this link in another post. For 100% I get 1:45 hours, 62.5% give me 2:47 hours and 37.5% gives 4:39 hours. I can live with that.

    Ran home at lunch and picked up the other meter, dead batt too. I really need to buy some auto off meters! Scrounged some AAA batts and did some testing. For this test I used two AW RCR123 batteries measured at 3.7 volts each (not fully charged, but realistic for an EDC light after some use)...

    I'll have to wait till I get home tonight and get my other meter, I just realized this DVM doesn't measure current anyway.

    Clicks are 1st: 100% 2nd: 50% 3rd: 25% 4th: slow beacon 5th: fast beacon Once on any setting for 3 seconds, the next click is off. Press/hold = momentary. A click is pressing the button for less than 1 second, a hold is anything over 1 second. So pressing and holding for 1 second is...

    As for that .4 volts idle, just an 1/8th turn on the tailcap disables it. No reason this should be a problem for long term battery draw if you remember to give it a quick twist before leaving/storing it.
