TrustFire Protected 18650 Lithium Battery
UltraFire 3.6/3.7V Battery Charger
Universal Bicycle Mount
Now from my reading through some threads, some people have had some issues with poor QA on some of the torches and chargers from DX.
What should I look for when they arrive?
Solder Contact Points would be one. Is there anyway to make sure the 18650's are good? or are they a crapshoot also?
ThanX
Which charger is it?
As for the batteries, most likely they will be either good or DOA, meaning that they have a very low voltage. Batteries are actually one thing that DX does manage to gt right most of the time.
As for the light, aside from sloppy soldiering, give it a good shake and see if it stays on or changes modes on you. Exactly which light is it? There are several that fit your description.
