    103 Mcd Xenon Flashlight Project - BFF

    Re: 1?? Mcd Xenon Flashlight Project - BFF Could it be the high inrush current when starting that’s causing it? Might need some caps at the BMS output side to handle the spike or a BMS with higher output rating. I think I read somewhere that on my maxabeam it pulls 23A for some ms at power-on...

    Maxa Beam question??

    Don’t know about nicad cells but I went with 3S5P Samsung 30Q 18650 batteries. Should be able to deliver 12V 75A so it’s plenty to go full power. Since you have the box you prolly don’t need it but I’ll share the 3D model for the box when I’m done with it. Render here.

    Would be awesome if you guys could post the info here also just as a reference for later :) When I find time I'm going to try to pick apart my circuit board to figure out how I can enable the "latched high" setting myself. I allready made myself a new knob for the switch since it's impossible...

    Do you by any chance have a picture of the circuit board?

    DIY Battery for Maxabeam

    So I threw in a little design for a DIY battery box. I'm very happy with how it ran with the 3S5P pack that I have so I will make a similar pack. I'll prolly rearrange the inside but I just placed 15 cells and the BMS there so I could see how everything fit. I don't want to make the box slimmer...

    Maxabeam questions/advice

    Woah this thing is really directional. It arrived today and I’ll be testing it when it get dark. Fired it up inside and the spot is just so focused when it’s zoomed in. The dot isn’t 100% clear but I suspect this will be fine once I get outside and can test it at more then 5meters distance. It’s...

    DIY Battery for Maxabeam

    Is the a good place to buy the battery connector? Mine will arrive tomorrow but I thought I had good time before it would arrive so I didn’t order any connectors yet. Found a thread with some info about there but I couldn’t manage to find all the needed parts and figure out what I needed...

    That would be lovely. I sent you an email so I don’t pull this thread way off topic :)

    Is there any chance you guys could program it through a teamviewer session or something like that? Would really like to get my G3 programmed to latching high but sending it across the world to do it is pita. I prolly have the MCU or prom flasher needed.

    No and no I think. Latched didn’t come until 5/2016 I think with G3-26. Maybe it was a custom order before that. Prolly best to wait until Matt chimes inn for details :)

    It’s kinda the same as the 410. It’s with a plug for remote control if you want to use that option. From what I understand it can still be controlled from the light itself but I haven’t tried that yet as I haven’t received mine. From 2010 according to the spec sheet they added this plug for the...

    Maxabeam questions/advice

    Thank you for the description. Sounds like I will be happy with a G3 7.5MCP also then. Good thing since I accidentally won an auction on ebay yesterday with one :oops: Now it's just that waiting game for it to arrive from the other side of the globe ^^

    DIY Battery for Maxabeam

    Yeah I won't risk $4-500 cost in parts on running it above what they recommend.. You have a good point there sir with just accepting the possibility to not discharge them fully. I see from discharge graph on a Samsung 30Q that you are at approx 8.5wh of 10.2Wh total at 3.4volts. That's 83% of...

    DIY Battery for Maxabeam

    Thank you for checking. Maybe they have some sort of step down inside the pack also then. a Lithium ion showing 14.8V (nominal) should be 16,8V fully charged. Have you ever opened the battery to inspect the BMS/output circuit? Actually Annie specifically advised me against running a 4S...

    DIY Battery for Maxabeam

    I’ve found a maxabeam without battery so I will need to build me one. I’ve built 18650 packs before (up to 12S4P) and I really like those cells. From what I’ve read the maxabeam needs at least 10V to run and max 13.5V input. This makes 18650 hard to use since a 3S pack would be max and then I...
