Yeah this thing goes through my 18650's in no time it happened again but this time I changed the battery first

:thanks:

congrats on your build man,

that 18650 2600 Sanyo isn't the best choice

try a Samsung Panasonic 3000mAh+ they work better and longer. :beer:

or get a beefy 32XXX whatever that hosts accepts with higher capacity and discharge capabilities. It deserves a good battery :beer:

My Sanyo can give the current to the driver no problem. But it drains in like 20 minutes

I am going to get a 32600 I'm waiting for it in the mail

WOW !!! 2.6W without G2 Lens !?!? Great build man !

Cheers ! :beer:

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

You're getting 2.6W with just the regular Aixiz lens?!?!

 

[LORDJET]

You're getting 2.6W with just the regular Aixiz lens?!?!

^^ I think he said that was with the new two element lens he's been testing. By the way AnthoT, any idea on the e.t.a. of those?

Peace, James

 

[AnthoT]

Yup 2.6W with my new lens

I'm not sure exactly on the ETA

I'm still new to the laser side of things, and alil familiar with leds, but wouldn't an AW be better, they handle crazy discharge rates, plus you can get up to a 3100mAh capacity. Of course, they are pricey too unfortunately.

If this is a stupid question, sry, just looking to learn.

I have an Awimr 2000mA that is not capable of supplying current for this build

The 32600 fits snug in that host where an 18650 would have to be centered somehow. Also they are rated 5000mAh.

Your IMR cell must be damaged or something as they are rated @ 10C and I have pulled more than 5A from those exact cells myself.:tinfoil:

 

[AnthoT]

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they were damaged in shipping somehow

I wrapped the 18650 in electrical tape till it fit the host & pulled it off & made a spacer

 

[AnthoT]

Wow,

Get this,

3 duracells operate this better than a Li-ion

 

[DKlaser]

Been there and done that with an m140 at an even 1.8a of current. Good job though, it is super rare to get one like that.

 

[offroadfreak8582]

awesome!! Now you go buy a G-lens fast!!

 

[AnthoT]

awesome!! Now you go buy a G-lens fast!!

Lol I still need a proper Li-ion

Anyone know any source for a 32600???

As for the G I have a lens barrel but I need to optic
