Jetbeam, funny how you quickly blamed it on the user by not using the original cable to charge. Would you so kindly explain what's so special about your cable that would've prevented a battery from venting?
What's the point in overdriving this light with high voltage? For more power you need amps, not volts. A 4.35v battery is not even high drain and it won't make this light any brighter.
I think Samsung 30Q or LG HG2 will be best for this one.
So basically we're paying $200 for a host? None of the components have anything special..
-Triple noctigon mcpcb with LEDs: $13
-Qlite driver with DrJones' guppydriv: $8
-Carclo triple optic: $2
-Batteries, switch and glass: about $20

Sound like a good idea, you could use one or two laptop external heatsinks on top and reverse the bottom fan , this way cool air enters from the bottom and exit on top.
You can also use a couple 5V fan the same size I used, and glue...

The mod is done and ready for long term testing and everyday use.
Same setup as usual, room temp was higher at 28C and the charger was placed on a table. A more scientific test this time.
At 28:00 the temperature normalized:

Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer
Turbo-cooling system is alive!! (I will patent the name :laughing:) I used a couple small drops of instant glue to temporary fix the fans in place just for a quick test. Also installed a small omtem switch on the bottom of the unit, the...
Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer
I used to build PCs and I have to admit it kind of disturbs me when I see the system temperature raise... And contrary to how it looks, the fans actually blows into heatsink, which is more efficient than pulling due to how the fins are...
Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer
Preliminary shot before the fan gets fixed in place. So after all I decided to wire them directly to the input port with an in-line switch, these are 12V fan but they will receive 15V, I hope they can handle the extra voltage.
Not sure...
I also ordered a couple 12V 40mm fans to install in the back of the unit where the heatsink is located, they will be connected in series and directly to the 15V power supply input port. I tested at 6V and they spun acceptably fast, the reason for this and not wiring them parallel at 15V is that...
