Hi Torchies
I bought a $28 AUD "
As you can see its a 2x 18650 unit (I have 2 new Panasonic 3100 mAh to replace the old ones) can I just buy a new drop in or is the unit fundamentally crap and just throw it away? (I have reasonable level tech skills soldering etc etc)
All input is welcome.

1600 Lm CREE XML T6 LED Zoomable Flashlight Torch + 18650 Battery + Charger"off Ebay and it failed on every level (yes I know better now and I am buying a better quality unit that will serve me better) firstly it was lucky to be 150 lumens (yes i read the sticky thread now) and the 18650 batteries were DOA on arrival ( yes I read the sticky threads), on the first night it failed me and burnt out.
On the bright (lol) side the Chinese seller refunded me 100% of the money and let me keep the unit, so heres my question can I fix it or is it not worth it.
