    Short 21700 with dual springs?

    That looked very promising, but I found a review on youtube "Wurkkos TS22 Review - 4,500 lm Flashlight with Powerbank for Outdoor Enthusiasts" and it clearly shows no spring on the driver side. Maybe a newer version added the spring?

    Short 21700 with dual springs?

    I have a Fenix E35 that's 4.65" long or so. Great brightness, small, and great battery life and is my favorite EDC. It lets me track my black dog across a decent size park. However it only has a single spring, so is prone to bashing the circuit board if dropped. Sure enough it's now getting...

    Acebeam EC65 review (21700, 4x XHP35 HI, cool white)

    I was looking for a compact 21700 light and decided on the acebeam ec65. I was initially impressed, although the switch was a bit wonky. Sometimes it would turn off while walking or bike riding. Seems like the switch spring wasn't strong enough to keep it from triggering with movement. I'm...

    Zebralight SC700d 21700 XHP70.2 90+CRI

    Protection batteries help protect against heat buildup, over current, over pressure, and over discharge. I personally have burned through nylon when a Fenix got triggered while in my pack. Not sure what Fenix has against tail standing and protected power buttons. Generally seems reasonable to...

    Zebralight SC700d 21700 XHP70.2 90+CRI

    Thanks for the correction, great answer, thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm just a bit wary of having unprotected cells around the house, in multiple devices, in chargers, etc. Just paranoid I guess. I've had no problems with it with my Manker U11 (18650 based) flashlight so far. I was...

    Zebralight SC700d 21700 XHP70.2 90+CRI

    I have two question about the SC700d. Would it not work with protected cells? The recommended battery the samsung 40T is 70.3mm long. I found the Acebeam 21700 5100mAh in the same length, any reason it wouldn't work well? I thought normally flashlights that specified unprotected cells were...

    New 2018 Fenix PD35 V 2.0?

    Anyone else notice that the Fenix PD35 V2.0 claims 2 hours and 50 minutes at 1000 lumens and the PD35 V1.0 only claims 1 hour and 10 minutes? Pretty amazing upgrade for going from a Cree XP-L V3 to V5. Are they just playing games using a much more powerful battery? Can anyone verify a...

    VIDEO ADDED: NEW Fenix TK65R - DAAAANNNNNGGG!

    Re: NEW Fenix TK65R - DAAAANNNNNGGG! I love fenix flashlights, and I have a tk12, tk15ue, and pd35 tac (among others). However my top pet peeve is they are really easy to turn on accidentally when in a bag, which is also the reason they don't tail stand. But the TK65R solution seems insane...

    Charge 18650 at 3.6V or 3.8V?

    I just got a XTAR VP2 at the recommendation of this forum, nice unit. Decent build quality, nice display, very simple to use. Just pick your voltage, and 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 amps. My plan is to use 0.25 amps normally and charge the batteries overnight, hoping the batteries last longer that...

    Fenix TK22 XM-L Flashlight Review

    As a data point my new tk22 fits both the Tenergy (2700 I think) and the Orbtronic 3100 mAh easily. So loosely in fact I'm somewhat surprised they don't rattle. They do actually rattle without the end cap on. Fortunately they don't rattle at all when the cap is on. If I remove the tail cap...
