trustfire and TK10

[unique]

Hey guys, I have a TK10 torch and recently got these batteries
Edit (sales offer link removed by Empath): Trustfire batteries from DX
I charged them fully and placed them in my TK10 and the torch does not turn on. I was told that these might not work on the TK10 but it was too late because I had already purchased the batteries. So instead I've now ordered AW's. Protected R123A.
So just a heads up to anyone thinking of buying the TrustFire batteries for the TK10. It will not work!!

When the AW's come in I'm preying they will work. If anyone can confirm this it will be great . Also, anyone have any idea as to why the TK10 will not work with the trustfire batteries? I'm guessing its because it is a higher mAh :thinking:

The cells are too long. When you put them in, the last cell probably hangs out past the battery tube.

Thanks for the heads up. I have the TK10 as well and i use the AW RCR's and they work great! :thumbsup:

AW's work fine. Trustfires doesn't work because they are too long and prevents the tailcap to fully screw down and make contact with the body.

Oh okay, thanks everyone for the reply! Also happy to hear that the AW's will work in the TK10

Hows the battery life with AW's fully charged on turbo and normal mode?

The T1 should have the same figures as it uses the same light engine:

Is it possible to cut open the wrapper and break off the circuit board? or is this a really dumb idea

Or just get unprotected cells if that's what you want

at 6$ for 4 cells at deal extreme, un protected rechargables are actually cheaper then most primaries
