    If only ozbargainers knew how dangerous 18650 batteries are. You really need to spend $10 each for a properly protected battery, not a race to the bottom for the most dangerous one possible.

    • Fappo on 21/05/2013 - 11:32

      Agreed, I use AW and Panasonic 18650 batteries — which can cost a bit over ten bucks a pop, but it's well worth it for the extra capacity, power and peace of mind.

      18650 batteries are great, but I wouldn't recommend using cheapos, especially with a cheapo charger and not knowing anything about safety precautions.

      • Scaregdearimasu on 21/05/2013 - 11:49

        any links to proper safety pro-cautions?
        I'd prefer for my place not to burn down really.

        • Fappo on 21/05/2013 - 12:26

          The main thing is to use a multimeter to check the battery voltage before and after charging. If the battery drops below 2.5v ditch it, and it shouldn't be at more than ~4.22v on a full charge. Make sure the batteries or charger don't get hot when in use. Warm is fine, but hot is… oh shit, time to run! ^_^

          Over charging and over discharging is the main safety concern.

        • Scaregdearimasu on 21/05/2013 - 12:42

      been trying to post a warning each time i see someone post a cheapo li-ion torch (not even the battery).

      I cringe everytime I see someone says "great deal, got one." hoping the poor sod knows the risks of li-ion before he loses a finger.

  • nadan on 21/05/2013 - 12:32

    What about Sanyo Eneloop batteries, are they ok to be used in this?

    • Scaregdearimasu on 21/05/2013 - 12:41

      yeah thats what I'm thinking 3AAA's throw it in the glove box. and don't worry about it for a few years.

      • INFIDEL on 21/05/2013 - 19:47

        Unless you use the torch! Will drain fast.
        Sanyo Eneloop (like most AAA) batteries are only 800mAh against 3000 of these - so operates about 1/4 of time per charge. Probably won't be as bright.

        • Fappo on 21/05/2013 - 20:18

          I'd agree, 3 AAAs wouldn't run the torch as bright as a decent 18650.

          I highly doubt that the batteries in this deal are 3000mAh though. They're probably lucky to be half that. xxxfire batteries are renowned for crazy mAh exaggeration.

  • nadan on 21/05/2013 - 23:50

    So, if I recharge the included batteries and check the voltage with a MM and don't go past the recommended voltage, will that be safe? Of course with temp you will feel it's getting hot.

  • cytotoxic on 31/05/2013 - 21:00

    Got mine today. Holy crap it's bright, even just using eneloops
    Also got a adapter for the charger in the package too, nice.

  • Herbse on 03/06/2013 - 13:01

    Comes with UltraFire batteries, says it has "short circuit and over current protection"
    Does this mean it should be safe from exploding as per peoples concerns on here?

    I thought my 300lm torch was bright. god dayum.

    • cytotoxic on 03/06/2013 - 14:10

      From what I have read they dont have it despite the label saying it does

    • [Deactivated] on 03/06/2013 - 14:41
      +2

      Putting aside the question of whether the charger is even half decent or safe, if the batteries you have are no shorter than 67mm they will have some sort of protection board under the wrap at the base of the battery.
      If the batteries you have are shorter than that, no dice, and I would be even more circumspect about using them - for anything - particularly in a torch (still very bright at critical voltage level), and never in any device than takes more than one battery. Why? Because of the huge differences in internal resistance that are common in the often poor quality/often faked 'fire brand batteries.

      Ultrafire are the most commonly counterfeited batteries, with the 'branded' plastic wraps readily available to buy on the internet. The most unscrupulous operators don't just wrap 18650 cells from junked laptops, they don't even test to see if the batteries are in an even vaguely reasonable or matched state.

      The China market is flooded with dangerously 're-purposed' or otherwise dodgy lithium cells, and be it wittingly or unwittingly, all of the major China retailers have been known from time to time to sell them. That includes DX, Tmart and Buyincoins.

      So, what have Banggood sent you? No idea. One thing I can tell you is that they will be nowhere NEAR 3000mAh capacity!
      You wanted a heads-up. There you go…

      • [Deactivated] on 03/06/2013 - 15:13
        +1

        Be happy regardless. The torch alone was a good deal at the price. Not the same runtime, but similar brightness using eneloops in the adapter. That's the safe option. If you want to use the lithiums and charger, nothing other than rain to stop you charging them outside at the end of an extension cord. If they are unprotected cells, get into the habit of charging them well before they lose much voltage. Good idea for lithium batteries in general.
        Poor quality or compromised cells with high internal resistance can still rupture inside a torch, but if you don't run the torches on the higher brightness modes you dramatically reduce the likelihood of that.
        I hope that all helps.

        • gooddealmate on 03/06/2013 - 22:22

          Thanks for the helpful advice, also are these batteries safe when not in any device? Do they lose charge and could they potentially explode when not in use after an amount of time?

  • keyman on 03/06/2013 - 21:17

    Just opened up the batteries to have a look and they are definitely not protected. Will be using the torch with AAAs for the safer option :)

  • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2013 - 00:10
    +2

    Gooddealmate (and keyman), lithium batteries are generally shipped with about 40 or 50% charge - if you test them with a multimeter they should be around 3.8 volts. Just sitting around, they will lose that charge very slowly (one of the good things about lithiums).
    Unless the terminals are somehow shorted-out (don't keep them in a cutlery draw!), they pose no danger.
    Just to clarify: The potential danger with lithiums is mainly in the context of charging.
    Overcharging - charger fails to terminate at appropriate point (4.2 volts). On the charging side, this is where 'protected' cells offer an extra layer of safety. Charging unprotected cells that are actually damaged and have built up a very high internal resistance can also cause them to go boom.

    On the discharge side, protected cells prevent you from discharging to a point where the cell is damaged. If you use a very poor quality or damaged cell (with high internal resistance) in a device that draws alot of current (like a high output LED torch on high mode), the extra heat build-up in the battery can cause it to rupture or even explode.

    There is a particular chemistry of lithium cell (available in 18650 size) called lithium iron phosphate, that on a fundamental level doesn't pose the same dangers as lithium ion batteries. They do have a somewhat lower voltage (which can actually be a good thing - albeit not lumen-wise) and are crazy light in weight, but they also have much lower capacity and require a special type of charger. I'm a fan, but it's a case of pros and cons.
    Again, I hope that all helps.

    • kirynflare on 04/06/2013 - 01:18

      My friend received his torch today, and the batteries and charger looked like these:
      http://www.tmart.com/High-Quality-Charger-with-2pcs-UltraFir…

      So I understand you can test the resistance and the voltage with a multimeter to test whether its protected, but how do you determine whether the charger will stop charging at an appropriate point?

      • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2013 - 01:57
        +1

        I won't go into any nuance (because there is some), but basically the first part of your second paragraph is a misunderstanding.
        Simply put, in the context of these Ultrafire blue (or the grey ones too), if they are shorter than 67mm in length they won't be protected cells.
        I suggest your friend heed the advice I posted above and charge them outside (that wasn't a joke), and follow the other advice too.
        I personally wouldn't charge any unprotected cells inside (or if inside, outside of a metal bucket) in a cheap China charger. Just too risky. Everything will be fine - until maybe one day it's not.

  • ironworthy on 04/06/2013 - 12:40

    I just got this today. Is this torch meant to NOT keep memory on last setting. I want to leave it on low beam, but after i turn it off and turn it back on it goes to the next cycle (strobe) and I have to cycle through them each time, very annoying

    • [Deactivated] on 04/06/2013 - 13:16

      Mode memory on many cheap torches is often hit or miss. On some torches it's well sorted and works reliably. On some torches it works some of the time, and on others it's a complete waste of time. On some torches the emitter will come back on with a brightness halfway between set modes - and on some torches the mode can just switch randomly from time to time without you even touching said torch…

      Try not turning on yours immediately after leaving it on the desired setting. Many torches require a set time delay before the last-mode memory kicks in.

    Mine charged fully at 4.23 V

  • fufufu on 05/06/2013 - 14:32

    So how long are you supposed to charge the provided batteries for?

    It says on the packaging of the charger that 3.6/3.7 should be 2 hours. I'm guessing it doesn't automatically shut off (there's a led light on the charger so maybe it does)?

    FYI. The blue ultrafire batteries I go are 67mm in height, 66mm if not including the little nipple at the top. The charger is rated output is DC4.2V @ 800mA.

    • fufufu on 05/06/2013 - 16:53

      Just charged it for 2 hours 20min. The LED indicator changes from green to blinking red when you insert the batteries and will turn green when charge is done.The batteries were not even warm to the touch which I think is a good thing for Li-ion batteries?

      This is probably just timed and not anything fancy with checking voltage, although it must be able to detect the battery type somehow since it says on the packaging that it can charge different types of batteries.

      eg.it has a table:

      Voltage_________________ 3.6/3.7 ___ 7.2/7.4 ___ high cap

      Digital Camera Battery___ 2hr _______ 2hr _______ 2.5hr
      Camcorder battery _______ 2hr _______ 2.5hr _____ 4hr

      Unfortunately I don't have a multimeter to check the voltage of the batteries.

      Also, my button at the end of the torch is green not orange.

    Got mine yesterday! Stuck a battery in, worked fine! Stuck the batteries on to charge for half an hour. Put one of them back in the torch and nothing! Tried the other and exactly the same!

    I then managed to break the little spring off where the neg end sits, snapped off so easily…… so that's just great.

  • LSGH on 07/06/2013 - 19:56

    I dont mind spending the extra $2 for the cheap battery even if I dont plan to use it,it was more so that I could compare the brightness with the AAA battery option…since I dont own any 18650s

    I received mine last week, the torch is pretty bright.
    The different output modes can be toggled by half pressing, as in camera shutters.

    However there seems to be a serious fault with the included 18650 charger.
    The 18650 charger's open circuit voltage is -4.25v, which is of wrong polarity.
    I have triple checked my meter, cable and labels on the 18650 charger.

    Is this normal?

    Side notes:
    The charger's two battery slots are linked internally, so it's safer to charge battery one at a time.
    The charger may keep trickle charging even after the light turns green, so it's safer to remove the battery asap.

    • Newtz4 on 19/06/2013 - 12:37

      My batteries seemed to stop working after charging for an hour. You think they are screwed?
      Surely this is a serious issue if the polarities are infact reversed? Given how easily these batt's seem to explode…..

      • leo65536 on 19/06/2013 - 17:12

        If you don't have a voltage meter to check their states, better throw them away to be on the safe side.

        UPDATE

        I had several email conversations with Banggood customer support regarding the charger's polarity issue.
        Most emails were replied within 24 hours, very good response time.

        Their last reply to the point is:
        "Thank you for you cooperation and I have send the picture to our supplier and they told me that the positive pole and negative pole have the same function that means you can contact them in the opposite with your equipment."

        To verify their claims, I opened up the charger and checked the controller IC.
        The maker and model number is HOTCHIP HT3582D and Google found its datasheets in Chinese.
        In the list of its features, there is "Auto recognise battery polarity".

        So I guess the open circuit polarity is normal and I will try it out next time, well isolated of course.
