attention : Ballast power 65w. not mean the lamp output.
This may vary by product.
The reasons for choosing this output are as follows:
A. You can actually overclock it further. Up to 75W (100W, discussed later). However, excessive overclocking will result in a very short battery runtime.
Even at 65W, it's considered "overly bright for everyday use."
B. The voltage of a battery decreases with use. Conversely, a fully charged battery is at its highest voltage.
When testing the stabilizer, I found that the output varied depending on the battery voltage. When the stabilizer was around 30W, the difference between the maximum and minimum power was minimal (about 10W). When the stabilizer was operating at full power, the difference was as high as 25W (75W + 25W).
C. 65W is a good compromise.
The maximum is 80W at 16.8v (battery fully charged) and the minimum is 65W at 10.8v (battery fully depleted).
Top right. The potentiometer slot is blocked with epoxy.
Pull out the to the potentiometer. If broken, replace it 1 kΩ POT.
Operating the potentiometer will increase or decrease the output.
I temporarily soldered the wires to use the load tester.
An additional recommendation for this modification is to apply thermal grease around the stabilizer before reassembling.
Overclocking stabilizers generate unexpectedly high temperatures, and the flashlight body becomes quite warm after about an hour of use.
When set to 65W, the starting output reaches 80W. After about 20 seconds, the output stabilizes and quickly decreases to around 65W, remaining there (with slight fluctuations).
