Fenix TK11 Low Battery Warning

[cheezewiz]

I was wondering if anyone could enlighten with some more information on the TK11. I have searched everywhere and cannot find an answer.

I have been toying around Primaries, RCR123a's and a Protected 18650 on mine and have yet to see the low battery warning (apparently quick flashing?)

Can someone tell me at what voltage (approximately) the low battery warning occurs? The flashlight can accept multiple types of batteries so the input voltage can vary dramatically between types (3.6 for a 18650, 6 for CR's, and 7.2 for RCR's). Does it distinguish between battery types / will it activate the warning for each type of battery or does it only occur at one voltage?

Thanks!

I was under the impression that the TK11 either doesn't have one, or it is set so low that it only kicks in for unprotected 18650 cells, which you should NOT be using anyhow.

99% of the time, the protection circuit on your RCR123 or 18650 cells should kick in.

Mine simply goes it self to low mode, never had a flashing signal.

I hope that it doesn't have one and simply switches to low mode, that's enough low battery warning! :eek:

My TK10 just abruptly turns off if I'm using it and its on high mode.
No warning, I'll be using it and like a incan light that pops, my fenix light abruptly turns off.

Doubtful.

The light doesn't suddenly turn off, the cell protection circuit suddenly turns the batteries off.

It's one of the drawbacks with Li-Ion.

There is most certainly a warning and moon mode using unprotected or primaries in the TK10.

My TK11R2 goes to a moon mode for about 3-5 hours then the protection circuit kicks in. It depends on each battery and their discharging rate.
