It's back. In full power mode-gorgeous bright grass green! And yes- single 700 mm Long Protected "18650" Nitecore 3500 mAH battery changed to 4.2 Volts on my trusty Nitecore charger.
I took a deep breath and wanted to switch to low power mode and half power- After many trials I got it to switch modes- but only to SOS-where it was stuck. Then after several half press sequences it went DARK.
until I swapped the tail-Cap power button from my other Challenger 2. Then it was briefly stuck in STROBE. After more fumbling I got it to what is either half or full power.
So it looks like my tail cap switch may need replacing.
" Multi-operation mode (no safety lock)
Performs these sequences within the first three seconds after the laser is on to enter different operation modes:
Three half presses: Low power mode
Four half presses: Half power mode
Five half presses: Strobe mode
Six half presses: Full power mode
Seven half presses: SOS mode
The laser memorizes the operation mode that being used for more than five seconds so you don't have to enter the exact combination to switch to a specific operation mode in later use. "
Try unscrew halfway the original switch, your 18650 battery could be oversized.
Also the sequence you listed there is for the challenger laser, not for the challenger II, you should able to switch mode by doing one half-tap at a time.
