hello

So i'm a little rusty on my basic electronics. I have LD75c an I put the Orbtronic 3200 batteries in it. there site says the are rated for a 10 amp draw

with 4 18560 in there I dont see how it could draw more than 5-6 amps from each battery, depending on batt config. witch i think this light is 2 pairs in seires and ech pair is || to each other becuase the light will run with only half the batteries.....

am i getting the full output of my light with these cells?

has anybody dont any tests to show the light reduction ? most 18650 i see say high drian and support 10amps, i have found a few that support 20 amps, but i can't think of light that would draw 20 amps from one cell

now i know the xhp50/70 need a high voltage so i assume they step up the voltage witch draws more amps from the cells, be even still with 2 batteries or the 10+ AMP cells needed?

please educate me :D

Higher drain batteries tend to suffer less voltage sag under load so if a particular flashlight is voltage dependant it could effect how well it runs. I dont know what the draw is on the ld75c so cant really say. 5 amps is a good bit for the older 3100 and 3400 panasonic batteries but something like 18650ga or mj1(10amp continuous) would work well 5 amp draw. Little need i think for the very high drain cells like the vapers use, i think 20amp plus range.

so will the 10A orbtronic work in just about everything? Im looking at the K60 and the review here said it draws 7A from 4 18650, i assume its 2 in || then the pairs in series witch would mean only about 1.5 AMP per battery
