Ok, so other than the obvious differences of price, output, and the proprietary recharge. I'm looking for some input on the two. I had a s10r baton III at one point that just stopped working and had to be returned, while the s1 baton I gave to my gf has been bullet proof. (She loves it, and I miss it lol).

I want the s1r turbo, but I just want to be sure it won't fail like the s10r III did, my worry is the proprietary charging could have been a factor in that. Maybe I got a lemon. Also it seemed like the s1 had a stronger magnet than the s10r III. So basically, how does the s1r turbo compare to the s1 as far as factors like reliability, etc?

Olight has a sale for the next few hours with 20% off either light, so I want to make a decision soon haha. Thanks.

I have both and s1r has a better ui and can run on regular imr 16340s if need be but can't recharge. I hated on the s1 not being able to double click while on to get turbo. They changed that on the s1r and made the timer option more hidden.

Do you notice any difference in strength of the magnets? When I had the s10r III and compared it to the s1, the s1 magnet was noticeably stronger. I'm wondering if the charger in the tailcap takes away a little bit of the magnets strength.
