Took 5h and 9,8Wh to charge it from 0 to 100% with Samsung travel charger. Draws ~0.6A max.
Still testing how long it can run, but see “cons #1”.
Pros:
1. High quality materials and components.
2. After some time, it’s enough to press the power button once to turn it off. No need to cycle through the 50%, strobe and S.O.S. modes.
3. Always possibe to turn it off with a long press.
4. Can be used as a panic light. The light turns off when turned on and left on chaging station. It turns back on when power is gone.
Cons:
1. Light output fades down continuously after ~2 minutes
2. Charging pins have loose contact (measured with USB tester). It’s possible to charge it in any position (even upside down), but vertical position is advised for faster charging.
3. Charging station could have been built in.
4. Not sure how easy it is to replace the Lithium ion cell.
I have one of these, and despite having 5v on the charging station pins, the torch is now refusing to charge. Not sure what the issue could be.
