Let them rest for a bit before putting them into the light.
If the batteries are 1.4v hot off the charger and you haven't done any resistance mods, then the bulb should be fine handling the batteries hot off the charger. The resistance within the light should be enough to lower the voltage under the
threshold.
Let them rest just in case though.

A couple of hours should be safe. I re-charge the cells overnight and let the cells rest while I'm at work. When I get home, they're ready to get to work!
I have a Fivemega holder in a mag 3D with 9 Energizer 2500, kiu socket and tail spring resistance fix, pro-golded all contacts...
some times I've used the light with batts hot of the charger. Never flashled one bulb on start-up, but I'm on the second WA1185 and WA 1306. the light is 1/2 year old
so, in conlusion if you don't need the light let batteries rest for about 1-2 hours and in this way you'll save your bulb from a short life!:thumbsup:

My Mag85 has a Hotdriver regulator for soft-start and full regulation, so it can be used straight off the charger. I think AW's soft-start switch can be used the same way, although without regulation.
To me, this kind of switch is the only way to go. Even if you don't insta-flash the bulb, you shorten its life without soft-start or regulation.
