I've got several of these:

They work perfectly and although the 2 pin plug isn't fused, it is moulded on which is safer and why I use adaptors instead of cutting the plugs off.

oh nice, that'll do a bit cheaper than ebay too.

Or slot 4.

Not quite 2 hours as the voltage might start low and then ramp up and will probably drop at the tail end of the charge, so maybe 2 hours + 10% - then again, it depends on the true capacity of the battery and how empty it is......

nice, that is a pretty decent charge time. 2 batteries roughly 4 hours ... not bad. I'd need 9 batteries though if I go the 2 torch route + tail light. Hmm maybe 2 chargers is a good plan, the soshine and the ultrafire.

I made an order for a buddy. And he has not received light. He got his charger in one box, then later his batteries in another,...but no light and its been a 2 months going on 3.

How can I get him his light faster?

What torch is it ?

Check and see whether it is in stock.

Log into your account, go to the item and click on 'contact us' and then on 'Customer Service Express' that will raise a ticket.

just found this which would be really good for holding the bigger torches - a lockblock on each bit

will be getting some I think!

This one is very good for larger torches (2 x 18650):

that doesn't look too bad, some reviews say it is pretty hard to get on the handlebars though due to the grip not opening enough.

Probably depends on bar size, it fits mine perfectly

do you have flat bars or drops?

Both

cool, well that sounds good then - I have drops on my bikes (although one is a convert so it has thinner bars anyway!)

I use a System EX computer and headlight mount on the racer.

I don't on the flatbar tourer because I've got plenty or room atm as it hasn't got a computer on.

I'll fit a System EX computer and headlight mount on the tourer as well when I get a computer for it.

They are very good.



I'll try that torch mount on my race bars.

I bought three of these so I could easily swap my P7's from one bike to another. As it turns out, the screw that tightens the light to the mount is not really set up as a quick release. Do you know of a solution? TY

Buy more P7s ?

I would just spend the money on a set of 90 degree twofish lockblocks.
$16 for a set of 3 from 4sevens.

lol

Two Fish Cycloblocks are a good solution for fatter lights. I'm quite happy with mine.

Just saw that Ultrafire has a new 18650 - 3000 mah battery available.. I also read that Panasonic has a 3000mah which is a little harder to find..

https://search.ebay.com/search/search...tle=18650+3000

Does anybody know how much runtime an extra 400-500 mah would provide on a p7? It seems to me like not much considering how much 2500/2600 provides.

If you know, can you please provide the formula for calculation? I'd look it up myself but I'm doin some homework that requires my immediate attention.

I ordered some, so I will post when they arrive.. Even if it is an additional 20 minutes, I'll take it..

3000mAh batteries over 2500mAh put really simply...

2500mAh 18650 gives about 1.0~1.2hrs of run time for the P7 and MC-E with higher power drain and brighter output.
3000 is 20% more than 2500.
I'd guess you get an extra 20% run time if the ratings are true. 1~1.2hrs would extend to 1.1~1.35hrs of run time.

but, they'll also take longer to charge if you drain them out until they cut off.

From the tests I've seen they are only good for low drain usage. During high drain usage (like with a P7 light) they actually have less 'juice' than the TrustFire 2400 batteries.

Just how well does the P7 Flashlight light up the road? Does it actually give you enough light to see obstacles, like pot holes, drains, junk, piles of stuff. broken glass, etc.
