Had this turn up today and just did a 1 hour 45 mins ride in the wood and the light is just fab far better light than my old one, but I may have to get a bigger battery pack, I don't think it will last anymore than about 2 hours.

I will try and take some pics the next time I'm out

they dont last long as there fake cells my 4 Panasonic cells would run that light for 5 hrs easy.

I may have to get a better battery pack then.

Or get another cheap fake one and carry it as a spare...

That's what I do..

Good plan Gubbins, but they can't be all fake can they?

you cant tell unless you discharge them but none will have the mha stated they can do and will be well under why they dont last very long.

 

the Panasonic cells i have are 5 quid each 3400mah

cheap cell 1 amp discharge to 3.1v got 814mha and lasted 49 mins 51sec.

 

Panasonic cell 1 amp discharge to 3.1v got 3408mah and lasted 3 hrs 57mins 55sec.

 

that is bang on what it should be and shows how crap the cells from china are and that proves it.

Where did you get them from

i got mine from ebay but was still a risk but they sell them here for not much more.

Ok thanks for that

I may get a pair

I also ended up binning the Chinese celled rubbish.that came with my triple solar storm.

 

Similar to Soundwave the cells tested out at around 900mah vs my 2600 Panasonic

 

One hour ish vs 4 hours

 

And I know they'll last.

thats 2s 2p you can charge them with a wall charger from the pack you have but the cells will go out of balance over time doing it like that.

 

i can use my imax charger now but also use this to charge them back up so there all the same voltage.
