I got my Sportac Triple 219C drop-in the other day. And while I have to say that the output is STUPENDOUS, I have run into a problem. If I put in a freshly charged NCR18650GA, the light runs fine for about 40-50 minutes. After that time, the low voltage warning kicks in, periodically cutting off the light. But at that point, battery voltage is still around 3.7V (plus or minus). This just seems WAYYY TOO HIGH (and the runtime too short) for the low voltage warning to kick in. My other Sportac (4500K Nichia 219B) will drain the battery down to around 3.0-3.2V (and show pretty good dimming) before the warning starts (and with the MUCH saggier UR16650zta rather than the GA). Is this a problem? Or has Eagletac raised the cutoff?
I should add that the drop-in is well wrapped in aluminum from a pie tin, and fits the host VERY snugly. So poor electrical contact with the host is VERY unlikely.
