    Anyone know how long these kind of flashlights will stay charged if not used? I've always been wary of getting one, charging it, leaving it in the car for 12 months and then trying to use it and finding it's flat.

    • seamonkey on 03/03/2022 - 13:50

      Seems to be less of an issue these days. I have a C3 in the car. Charge it regularly, maybe every few months. In the car, cigarette lighter, USB-C cable, all good simply during a random drive.

      • Joker042 on 03/03/2022 - 13:55

        Yeah, sounds like when I went to use it it'd be flat. I think I'd be better off with one that runs on AA batteries, which I know will still have at least half their charge after a few years.

          Not really.
          It's not that hard to remember to charge it once or twice a year. Lol

            @mckayver: Not hard to buy some AA batteries and know they'll last 5 - 10 years in the glovebox either. Why would I get this if it's only going to last 6 months, and my major concern is "how long will it last in the glovebox without me using it"?

        • Quarn on 03/03/2022 - 14:42

          Carry a spare 18650 battery or 2x CR123 batteries if you are worried.

          • Joker042 on 03/03/2022 - 14:54

            @Quarn: The entire point is that batteries discharge even when not used. Different chemistries discharge at different rates. I am asking how quickly these batteries discharge when not in use (self-discharge rate). Spare batteries don't help in this case, as both would be discharging at the same rate.

            • Quarn on 03/03/2022 - 15:07

              @Joker042: Low self-degradation rate and excellent storability
              Panasonic CYLINDRICAL LITHIUM CR123 batteries contain manganese dioxide, a substance that is chemically very stable. 90% of the battery capacity remains even after 10 years of storage if preservation conditions are proper.

              • Joker042 on 03/03/2022 - 15:35

                @Quarn: Thanks, thats really helpful, I'll take a look at them.

            • Tuba on 03/03/2022 - 19:12

              @Joker042: This type of Lithium battery is not a store it and forget it technology. Its dangerous as it grows dendrites between cells within the battery and they short it out. These batteries require active maintenance, not simply keeping them charged, moreso when run in series. Theres a reason the makers of the batteries didnt really make them consumer goods. We just find ways to get them. They are becoming consmer goods, but the point remains the makers like LG and Samsung etc didnt make them consumer goods. They were made to go in packs, with all kinds of safety circuitry. When a laptop battery stops working, its one out of 6 batteries in the pack that die, but that makes the rest vulnerable so circuitry essentially separates all the batteries for safety.

              Eneloops (and AA or AAA torch) are your answer. CR123 mentioned above is another as its a safe Lithium tech. However in pairs, the danger reappears as its the ability of one to pull too much from its neighbour and cause thermal cascade. High energy which they are, is a double edged sword. Does it happen often? No, but it does happen and when it does, its pretty bad.

              Alkalines may have shelf life, but they also leak sitting around.

              Best tech to just leave in the car, is Eneloop. Should have a decent percentage of the charge after 5 years.

              • Joker042 on 03/03/2022 - 19:16

                @Tuba: Looks like these are the go for my particular use case, 20 year shelf life, claimed to be leak proof, and I'll just get a torch that uses one AA battery, which is easy: https://www.energizer.com/batteries/energizer-ultimate-lithi…

                Thanks for your response, quite informative, I'll keep it in mind when I'm looking at stuff in the future.

                • Tuba on 03/03/2022 - 19:24

                  @Joker042: Its pretty much a AA version of the CR123 mentioned above (not certain on the exact chemistry). Ive used them for the exact purpose in the car and they are good batteries and last a while in use too. Not sure they are value for money though but as a light to leave for just in case, its not that pricey.

                  But I have replaced all my just in case torches with Eneloops. Paired with a torch that doesn't pump out 1000 lumens, say 500 is ample, will have runtime and is sensible. There a few 4 battery AA designs that I suggest are prefect lights. But if small form is important,t hersa plenty of single AA or double AA that suit the purpose.

                  • Joker042 on 03/03/2022 - 19:25

                    @Tuba: Thanks sounds like I should compare to some eleloops before buying the ones I linked, I'll do a bit of reading. Thanks a lot for your comments.

        Doesn't the heat end up degrading the batteries?

        • [Deactivated] on 03/03/2022 - 14:48

          Yup

        • Joker042 on 03/03/2022 - 14:55

          So they last 2.5 years instead of 5, which is fine.

    • bamzero on 03/03/2022 - 14:22

      Just twist off the battery cap enough (about 1/8th of a turn on these) to break connection and there will be no drain from the torch. The li-ion battery will hold enough charge for emergency use for ages, though sitting in a hot car probably not ideal for self-drain.

    • Caped Baldy on 03/03/2022 - 14:36

      I'd avoid this one. Looks to have a pretty small battery.

      If you need usb charging I'd recommend a Sofirn flashlight. Most require the larger 18650 or 21700 cell which will last a lot longer. If you're not using it much unscrewing it a bit will open the circuit and not much power will be used. Some also come with magnetic tailcaps which come in handy depending on what you're doing.

      • BlueMM on 16/03/2022 - 14:23

        The description doesn't specify, but comments indicate that it does include a 18650. Though another comment does say it's a non-standard 18650 & their existing 18650s don't fit.
        For those OzBargainers that have this torch, could you comment on the battery & compatibility with any existing 18650 batteries?

  • CyberMurning on 03/03/2022 - 13:59

    Is this coreect?

    BEWARE! This unit runs extremely hot on full power. It will become very hot in about 30 seconds and almost too hot to hold after 5 minutes. A fully charged battery will go flat after about 20 minutes.
    While it is bright on full power, the excessive heat and very short battery life make it useless.
    The medium setting is quite good for basic indoor use, but not outdoor use. Using it only on medium defeats the purpose.

    • reactor-au on 03/03/2022 - 14:05

      Maybe on the max brightness but I think turns to the next lower brightness after 1 or 2 minutes automatically

    • figlia on 03/03/2022 - 14:07

      I do agree that light gets very hot after ~5 min but it lasts a lot longer than 20 min.

      3-4 hours in multiple ~15min intervals. basically enough to last camping weekend away and used as a secondary light when needed.

    • Jonc on 03/03/2022 - 14:15

      I've been using one during the storms in Brisbane and found I use medium brightness and it's still very bright (more than enough for outdoor cleanup's works..etc.. I hardly used the high setting for working.. I think I would only use it if looking at things very far away which is not what I need… so if you looking for a general-purpose use touch I think it's still a good unit… done everything I need very well and the battery lasts very long.. I used it for a number of hours no trouble at all and did not even warn on low battery (was still green for me)..

      Guess you need to decide what you going to use it for and take it from there… I also read some saying it will reduced from full brightness if on for a few min but again I've never needed full brightness so not too sure…

    • 8azinga on 03/03/2022 - 14:21

      Specs say it only holds 1200lm for 1 minute and then it steps down to 500lm over the next 2.5 hours.

    • Caped Baldy on 03/03/2022 - 14:31

      These flashlights often have turbo mode and can get hot to the touch. Some ramp down so less heat. Generally you'll get hours worth of charge at mid brightness which is still really light.

      • dust on 03/03/2022 - 15:29

        Yes. All the single 18650 1000+ lumen torches are like this (can only last at max brightness for a minute or so).

  • piejustice on 03/03/2022 - 14:21

    Six modes is annoying. This would be better if it were 2 (low, high) or 3 modes (low, medium high). If anyone can recommend an alternative with less modes in all ears.

    • zestorer on 17/03/2022 - 15:12

      Mine just arrived today. There's one switch, on/off fully pressing it. Half pressing it when on will cycle through 4 brightness modes. To get into strobing, you quickly do
      2 half presses, which takes practice and would be hard to do accidently. I have another torch, which just cycles through the 4 modes pressing the switch, very annoying..

    How does this compare to the L60?

    Any code for that one?

    • Prong on 03/03/2022 - 20:24

      I bought an L60 but was not impressed and returned it. Key for me was the rubber micro USB cover doesn't actually seal in place, and falls out (though is attached) very easily. So not really waterproof.

      Mine the zoom mechanism was very stiff, but the actual light and beam produced was decent.

        I find it hard to do those single presses properly. I almost always fail to quickly double bump it into epelepsy mode. 😅

        Thanks for the tips though, will definitely give it a try later tonight. Might just need a little practice..
