Thread: Best hunting torch in NZ guaranteed under $200 range

Hi,

The Sofirn D25S headlamp has micro usb charging, the Osram C8+ V2 has no usb charging and requires an external charger.

I'm not familiar with the Maxtoch batteries, but from this Trade Me listing I would say no. Depending on what current the protection trips at on those Maxtoch batteries, it could shut the light off on 100% power. That listing says they are Panasonic NCR18650B batteries?. If the protection doesn't trip it may run it, but at a lower output. Ideally you want the Samsung 30Q button top for $11.50

Panasonic B - 4.9 amps max
Samsung 30Q - 15 amps max

If they are the Panasonic B battery, it makes me wonder how honest Maxtoch's lumen ratings are. The Maxtoch M1 Archer had a lumen spec of 1650 lumens which would require approx 7 amps since it was using a dedomed SST-40. The M1 was bundled with this battery. I'm not trying to knock the brand, but since I'm one of the few that has equipment to measure lumens, it gets me thinking.
