    New XTAR WP2 II Li-ion charger

    You do not need to worry... yet. Here is an interesting read: http://industrial.panasonic.com/www-data/pdf/ACA4000/ACA4000PE4.pdf

    Magicshine - replacement battery PCB

    Right; and if you measure the voltage at the P+ and P- it will probably be 3.7-4.2V. At least, that is part of what I am trying to confirm.

    Magicshine - replacement battery PCB

    Microa, I am only talking about the charging circuit. Indeed, the output circuit is on 2S2P... or 2SnP for a 7.2V nominal output. The board has a "center tap" that connects to the common of all 4 cells in the MS pack. This is needed for the charge circuit. I am only trying to understand the...

    Attempting my first drop-in

    Two possibilities. One I worked on last night was to add a small extension to the small spring on the driver. Easier said than done since you really don't want a failure there. The host I use is a 504B, similar to your L2P. The battery simply wasn't being held in there very tight and every...

    Magicshine - replacement battery PCB

    The output is 2S2P... but it does have a tap for the charger which would allow for a 4P charging circuit or 2x 2P charging. It is kind of important to know how this board handles charging. It cannot charge 2S. That would be irresponsible and dangerous.

    Magicshine - replacement battery PCB

    Thank you FMA Battery. This is a very nice product for DIY pack builders. Am I correct in assuming that the charge circuit is a 4P configuration? And please, what is the maximum charge rate?

    Specialty Flasher - driver mod

    My math wasn't off too far. On a 3100mah Callies Kustoms 18650, I got 05:40 to 3V. At 5 hours it was 3.3V still drawing 700ma on high; At 05:30 it was 3.17V drawing 700mah. At 05:40 the driver's protection circuit kicked in and the removed cell was 3V exactly with only a few seconds rest...

    Specialty Flasher - driver mod

    The driver is a 17-mode NANJG 101-AK 1050ma driver. With the disabled 7135, it now has a max output of 700ma in high mode. We know these drivers have a Low mode at 5% and Medium mode at 30%. So these are the modes after the mod. Low - 368ma | 160 lumens Med - 455ma | 182 lumens High -...

    Specialty Flasher - driver mod

    Since my recent tests with runtime and output at 1 amps I decided to take this mod to the next level. I received some more drivers and few 16mm XM-L T6 emitters. I decided that my be-seen zoomies on my recumbent trike needed a consistent output and the constant mode that this mod provides...

    Your most surprising lights?

    Re: Your most suprising lights? I've had some level of surprise in most of the lights I have received lately. Foremost is probably the 504B silver host. Probably the prettiest light in my collection so I bought a KAN-28 switch for it and a coated lens. And it now sports the GITD tailcap...

    XR-E Q5, XP-G R5, & XM-L T6 Runtime Test

    All the tests are complete with significant results. See the 1st post for all 3 vids. If you want runtime and don't really care about consistent light output using only 1x 18650 (or 16340, etc.), an XR-E will self regulate based on Vf until the battery is dead. with a 1 amp starting current...

    UltraFire CREE XM-L T6

    Most cheap XM-L's on ebay are seriously under driven at around 1 to 1.5 amps. Don't believe the hype.

    XR-E Q5, XP-G R5, & XM-L T6 Runtime Test

    Re: XR-E Q5 Runtime Test I just added the XP-G video to the original post. 01:48 of well regulated output from the XP-G of around 350 lumens (spec lumens) and 2:00 and a bit before the battery was down to 3V. Same cell as in the 1st test also charged on the XTAR Wp2 II. Just completed the...

    XR-E Q5, XP-G R5, & XM-L T6 Runtime Test

    Re: XR-E Q5 Runtime Test You can bypass one of the AMC7135's gate straight to pin 1 of the MP (diode protected positive). This will provide a non-PWM 350ma constant while the remaining AMC7135 will be driven by the selected mode of the Tiny13A. Works perfectly and no reprogramming required...

    XR-E Q5, XP-G R5, & XM-L T6 Runtime Test

    Re: XR-E Q5 Runtime Test I see. Beacons won't work due to the limited time I have to gain someone's attention meaning soccer moms ready to blast through stop signs. 18650 is a good format and a Q5 at 700ma would be the least I would want for output. A narrow beam too would be severely...
