Just pulled my TK11 from the dryer

[C-Beam]

After it had gone through the washing machine, of course. :fail:

Still works fine.

The Ultrafire 18650 in it has been through about 50 charges and also works fine.

I love this Chinese crap!

Depending on how hot the dryer was running, I'd be concerned about that ultrafire cell over the few discharge/charge cycles. I can't imagine high heat would do a li-ion cell any favours....

Build like tank ..hah?

You should be glad that your dryer and washing machine survived

Did you not hear it in the dryer? Or did you hear it, and just wanted to see if it still worked afterward?

I can't even allow coins to be clanging around in the dryer... just so loud sometimes.

My wife washed and dried my T1a, and finally noticed it clanking around in the dryer
She was a little afraid to tell me she had just washed and dried a rather expensive surefire, but it is still working fine

One thing I would worry about is if the heat of the dryer may have damaged the led or other electrical components


I did change the battery out in my t1a after it went through the dryer just in case too

The loud clanging sound inside the dryer was a clue. It wasn't in there thirty seconds.

Thats not so bad then. The washer probably coldn't hurt it much. And if it wasn't in the dryer long, then it likely never even got as hot as it would get running it for 5 min or so.

I opened this thread wondering how much damage the dryer had sustained. 30 seconds? Boo.

"Man these pants are heavy, must be full of dirt. Into the washer you go."

clank clank clank

I would gladly trade a flashlight going the cycle than a Bic gel pen included when my formal attire was in the wash...:fail:

I ran my ITP-A3 through the wash/dry cycle more than once. Quality and design robustness can originate from anywhere in the world.

That's good to know. Those little buggers are multiplying like rabbits in our home.

It's just a matter of time before one goes for a swim
