Can the heat of aluminum light cause it to shut down?

my Tiablo ACE-G shut down after 10min . I had Ternergy 3.7 V 18650 batteries in it.

when I test the battery in the DBS V2, the DBS turns on just fine.

Some lights have thermal protection. However, it usually throttles the output, not shut it down completely.

Did you check the voltage of the cell?

I don't have multimeter to check voltage. I have to buy one. well the light shut down completely.

Maybe you were using protected cells and the overdischarge protection kicked in.

You're using Li-Ion's and don't own a DMM??

I think you have a cell problem. You posted a similar problem with the same cells when used in a M2CX4 light in this thread.
