Well, I didn't order an SC52, but my ZL 14500 is on the way. I'll let you guys know how it compares to the 750mAh Nitecore and AW I already have.

Is there any place in the US to order the ZL 14500 from yet?

Re: Zebralight SC52

I can't find any specs on the 14500 batteries and by that I mean charging specs. I have regular LiIon charger and lab power supply but the cell has "protection", can you charge it "MacGyver" style from the USB for example? If not what voltage regulation should you use?

Ordered it from the ZL website and was surprised that it arrived much faster than expected. The invoice said up to 6 weeks and I was expecting it to ship from China, but it arrived in a few days from Irving Texas.

Preliminary test results with a 4/7's Quark QPA-G2:
Nitecore 750mAh 14500: 49 minutes on Max
ZL 840mAh 14500: 56 minutes on Max

So comparatively, it seems about right for the mAh rating. Cells were charged on a Nitecore Intellicharger v2. Came off the charger at about 4.19 volts.

Ermagerd! I need a review of this friggin' light! Naaooow!! This is killing meh!
Or better yet the light itself, but I just ordered a few days ago, so I have no illusion of getting it sooner than all these people that ordered it just before the Romans conquered Carthage.
