How do they get more mah? Then other brands
I think one tradeoff is, more mAh has lower Maximum Discharge rate...How do they get more mah?
Your TS10 probably draws somewhere around seven or 8 A on turbo before step down. But as long as you don't go up to that, it will be under 3 A.I can deal with 3 amps hect in my zebra I don't think she pulls over 3=amps not sure on my ts10;
the stock battery is 3A max, 900mAhnot sure on my ts10
Just because it says three amp max, does not mean that's all you can draw from it. All it means is that it's only designed to have 3 A continuous run through it. there's no protection circuit on it that stops more current. 10 amp cell will generally be a little bit brighter with a fet, only because the higher drain cell is lower internal resistance, so less voltage sag. Since the TS 10 only draws on turbo for about 15 seconds before it starts stepping down. It should be safe for the cell as it is a burst. But that cell can supply a lot more than 3 A, also, there is no way on earth that it is making 1400 lm with 3 A. That is just not possible. That means each emitter is putting out at least 500 lm for one amp. If that was the case, that would be the only LED used in all lights because it would be so good. And that light puts out 1400 lm through the optic. I don't know how much the LEDs are actually producing but probably closer to 1700 at least.the stock battery is 3A max, 900mAh
I dont know what the battery ingredients recipe difference is from the
3A max, 1250mAh of the Vapcel F12
thanks for the education, Im definitely a bit confused about that.Just because it says three amp max, does not mean that's all you can draw from it.
thanks or the educationI have not seen a test done for the particular emitters in this light. But I believe the closest one available from a major manufacturer is the Nichia e17a. That LED requires 2 A to produce 500 lm. Three of them would be 1500 lm and 6 A total.
It could. But it's not unlimited. Eventually you'd hit an equilibrium where the current draw matches the voltage sag of the cell plus other flashlight resistance. As current to the led goes up, so does the voltage required to push that current. While at the same time, the voltage of the cell is dropping due to load. That's why a vapcell L10 would be brighter than the Wurkkos cell. But neither of these cells I believe would provide the voltage required for 18A. A Molicell 42A may be able to though with low host resistance though.thanks or the education
does the LED determine the max draw through the battery, and not vice versa?
for example:
could a TS10 with three 519a LEDs (I think rated for 6A), "pull" 18A out of a 3A battery?
