I can and will

On the road , going run to town for the wife

I’ll be home shortly

 

[wicky998]

TG you want them tested in the tube or just in series ?

 

[thermal guy]

See mine were 1.4 1,5 and 0.0. I took bad cells out replaced it with a dummy and it ran for another 9 hours??

 

[thermal guy]

Put all 3 in the tube and with tailcap off check voltage you know black on back of battery red on inside of tube. Bare metal. Sorry if I’m insulting you. I’m sure you know how to do it

 

[wicky998]

So theoretically it should’ve ran another 12 hours give or take .

I’m scratching my head here fellas, really

 

[thermal guy]

Well if your voltage is that yes but I’m betting if you check them in the tube it might be different

Lol also might of mixed up red and black in that description. If there’s a -sign in front I did

 

[wicky998]

Your not [emoji23]

And will do [emoji1688]

 

[wicky998]

Inside the tube

Black on backside of the cells and red on bare metal inside the tube

My meters reading 3.25

 

[thermal guy]

If you bypass the switch by putting probe on back of cell and touch that to bare tube does she light?

 

[thermal guy]

These might shut down at 3.5 volts or so. Anyone try a single 123 yet?

I’ll try give me a few

 

[wicky998]

She lights TG

Sub lumen and not for long , maybe 30-45 seconds and then zip

 

[wicky998]

I can try with my zerorez once she arrives

It can hold better pressure than me trying with the probes .

 

[thermal guy]

Then that’s all she got. That voltage your at now is low limit of what your module will run at. They are all probably a little different. I’ll try a single 123 when I get home. See if she lights.

 

[wicky998]

Roger .

I’ll start my second test with 3x123s on low after lunch

 

[dotCPF]

These might shut down at 3.5 volts or so. Anyone try a single 123 yet?

I've got one rolling. Almost 10 hours in, at around 13 lumens. Average around 15 lumens so far.

Single 16650 is almost at 40 hrs but is down to sub-lumen level. 0.01 lumen territory

3x AA L91 still going strong, 20 lumens 37 hours.

 

[wicky998]

Dot can you check your voltage on your 123?

 

[dotCPF]

Dot can you check your voltage on your 123?

2.9V, 42ma

 

[wicky998]

I wonder why my test died at 3.2 then

 

[dotCPF]

I wonder why my test died at 3.2 then

I wonder if it varies per dropin. I'll consult with Gene.

When everyone's tests finish up, if you could include the host and exact battery as well that would be appreciated.
