Hi
I've just received a Fenix TK35 in the UK from a 99%+ Feedback seller in Hong Kong and would appreciate any views on a few queries please.
(1) The mode switch rattles (only if I actually shake the torch). Is this an acceptable/normal fault/quirk?
(2) The aluminium on the handle/body seems a bit plasticy. Is this what it should be like?
(3) I wrongly put in 2 new 18650 battteries that hadn't been charged. The light powered-up for a minute or so but then died. I checked the batteries and one of them had no charge. I put in charged 18650s and it seems to work ok. But the dead batteries sort-of lit the LED slightly (with no real output) and I could see about 3 or 4 stripes across the LED. Is this what the LED should look like?
(4) Being paranoid (with regard to the plasticy material) I wonder if it's a fake. Are there any counterfeit TK35s? It looks like those on Youtube etc reviews. The box has a serial number which is also on the torch. The box has raised glossy parts. Should I worry?
(5) Also my 18650s are so tight in my Ultrafire charger that the slightly convex positive ends have been squashed and become slightly convex. Is this dangerous or a problem?
Any help please would be much apppreciated.
Many thanks.
Gary
