I make this thread cause I need to put an order as fast as possible since I need it in my work, it feels since I am not that experienced I will google on stuff forever to be sure what to buy. I have already spent a week deciding the Convoy S3 is the best choice (No I dont care about modding so I dont want the S2+ since the S3 gets less hot with the same light output because of greater body design so I prioritize heat cooling instead of mod compatibility )
I am planning to buy Convoy S3 [FONT=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, SimSun, 宋体]([/FONT]XML2 T4-7A 3000-3200K & 7135*8 output current 2800mA)
I want between 3400-3500 mAH battery since I want as long runtime as possible. Protected battery is probably a more wise choice.
is high drain battery a good choice ? Simon at Convoy did ignore to answer detailed battery questions, its too bad he just dont bundle his flashlights with batteries would make it a lot easier for newbies like me.
Also I need to keep the total amount of cost down to the minimum but I still want as much quality as possible for the money. Main reason is I bought a manker likght and I pretty much wasted money on it since it turned out to be defective. The only reason I choose the convoy S3 is cause I bought the Manker E14 II which turned out to be a big mistake, I will not get into deeper the problems it has more then to say that it was defective and I have no energy to send it back to china and pay 20 dollars for shipping and hope he will send something back total process would take a long time too maybe up to 3-4 months.
I will stay away from Manker brand in the future even though I like their designs... since they have no quality control. the E14 II I was satisfied with the light output I did like the nicha 4000K output, I am eager to see if the 3000K on the S3 is even more nice since I work mostly at night I need something comfortable for my eyes and that makes my working environment less "creepy".
Problem
1.Since I will choose 7135*8 for the Convoy S3 does the "8" indicate I need 8A battery to get full performance ?
2. How do I know if a battery is a high drain battery and is it recommended for the Convoy S3 (again simon at convoy did answer me on this question either)
3. There is a lot of cheap batteries out there, but where can I buy original and genuie batteries that are both cheap and I can trust they are not fake ? and that have free shipping (since I will order the convoy S3 from china shipping time is not a big problem since the flashlight will probably take a month or so to arrive)
4. At last What battery do you recommend ? Its probably not worth to pay extra for 3500 mAH since very little difference in % but probably a lot more expensive.
5. What battery charger do you recommend that is very cheap ?
Convoy sell this one that seem good, and cheap only bad thing is in long term I might be a need of a charger with 2 or 4 cells but I like the design of it.
Thank you and happy new years
