The two cells matches nicely and capacity only drops slightly even with 30A load, as usual the temperature goes up at high load.

10 years ago you'd never, never thought it possible for a single cell & single 'large die' emitter can do what it does today.

The NB90.16 emitter in the Amutorch XT45 (using single high Amp 21700) on full turbo has to be seen to believe,
mind boggling amount of light for a self defense situation.


Thanks HKJ for all your contributions 👍
