New Thrunite Ti

Lithium, 40% Less Filling, 400% Longer Fun, 1,000% More Wallet

Thrunite Titanium Christmas edition singe aaa

I did a test comparing an alkaline on sale at Radio Shack 4x$1 and some Lithiums I got for 4x$10

I compared the light brightness on high, and they look the same to me. I think that is supposed to happen with Current Regulation. Not sure, total newb

I read a review that says the Lithium will last 50 minutes and the alkaline 12 minutes in the Thrunite Ti3, which has a 130 lumen high with XP-G2 LED. The high on the Titanium model is factory spec 162 lumens, with XP-L4 LED, so not a direct comparison, but I thought the proportional run times would give some relative comparison, 10 min on alkaline and 40min on lithium is my projection.

Then I weighed the batteries and to my surprise the Lithium is a full 4 grams lighter! 10 grams for the alkaline, 6 grams for the Lithium.

So, in this example, Lithium costs 10 times more, lasts 4 times longer, is the same brightness, and is 40% lighter, than alkaline.

That means that per minute costs are
Lithium 5 cents a minute,
Alkaline 2 cents a minute

Here is a photo of the batteries

I have a ti and looking for a 10440 I read a couple people using Efest 10440 battery but can only find flat tops will the flat tops work? Thank you

Add another one in the 1xAAA clicky segment.

It is a pen light. Looks a little long to me.

90mm for a 1xAAA is ridiculously huge!

90mm for a 1xAAA is ridiculously huge!

I don't think so, not to include a tail switch and protruding cap on it. With the non-removable pocket clip it's obviously meant for people to carry it that way so it only needs be as short as the pocket depth rather than trying to be a keychain light which it isn't. Granted, this also makes you wonder if the same people who have interest would be just as well off with something equivalent but an even longer 2 x AAA format.
