You can check with a multimeter after the light goes out by going to DC voltage #20… usually a protection circuit will kicks in anywhere between 2.9 to 3.1 mah from my experience …can’t wait to get my hands on some , great review ..!
@@stoyanvasilev What about the trustfire ones? TF10440 600mAh Batteries...Panasonic I'm only finding 900mah 1.2v batteries, I think we are looking for 3.7v ones.

The typical capacity of the lithium-ion AAA batteries is in the 350-600 mAh range, but it also depends on the battery design (high capacity, low drain current or lower capacity, higher drain currents).
So I just tried the Demon Fire brand of 10440 in the i3E and it did not work… So the PK Cell batteries work in mine, but not Demon Fire. A bit peculiar but the Demon Fire batteries are longer/taller than the PK Cell ones. Maybe that has something to do with it but I’m not sure…
Good question. It is a tight fit but I was able to make it fit by screwing the end cap on and off a few times. Each time the tail cap should be able to screw down a bit more than the time before. Hope that info helps!
Good question! I didn’t check this but I plan on doing this in my next video. Also thanks for the heads up about the capacity. The protection circuit taking up space makes sense why the capacity was a bit lower than I anticipated.
@@PardonMyEnglish Very true but what I've learned about buying Chinese products for years now is there are mAh and then there are CHINESE mAh which are usually %50-65 of what's advertised. For flashlights there are lumens then there are CHINESE lumens...again %50-65 of what's advertised. Sometimes you fluke out and get a winner. Sometimes not.
Congrats on the olight affiliation. I left my comment before you said that. I've been wanting to start a channel but too intimidated about the software and editing.
Thanks! I say if you’re wanting to start, go for it! I’m also intimidated by software and editing so I’ve been doing everything on the phone thus far. I’m happy to give any advice I can and fortunately there are a lot of great and free resources out there.
Great video! Question, when you click on the i3t does it feel like there's a lot of space in the button? It doesn't feel like any click button ive ever used.
Yeah, the Demon Fire cells are a tight fit. I got them to work by screwing the tail cap on and off several times. Each time I was able to tighten it a bit more until eventually it was able to fit. Hope that helps!
These demon fire cells are pretty good in my opinion. They are longer than standard 10440s so they are a tight fit in the i3T. I did test to make sure they are protected in this video: Olight i3T with 10440 High Mode Runtime - PK Cell vs. Demon Fire Lithium Rechargeable Batteries th-cam.com/video/ky-qBQLblFU/w-d-xo.html
Maybe but I haven’t had any issues myself. I have some other test videos using these batteries if you’re interested. It’s definitely not for everyone and not recommend by Olight.
Awesome video! Thanks for testing these cells. Congrats on the affiliation with Olight. Your content feels honest and that makes for great videos.
Thank you! I’ll try to keep it real around here.
Loving your videos, glad your taking the hassle from us to test these batteries😊.
Starting my own collection off olight torches thanks to you👍
Nice! Thank you for the kind words. Olight makes great lights in cool colors so it’s hard not to collect them!
Another great demonstration! Thanks for doing the work for us!
You bet!

Nice, thank you! I didn’t think of that and I actually do have a battery tester. I’ll check the voltage of the protected cell after the next test.
Great video. I'm excited for the high output video. I'm also curious to what's the best rechargeable AAA. Keep it up brother!
Thanks! Yes, I’m excited to see how the high output does as well. I haven’t explored rechargeable AAAs yet but maybe sometime in the future!
Eneloop pro is the best.And they don't leek.

I'm sure you will try the demon fire in the i3e EOS. Can't wait for that video.
I actually had not thought of that! Yes, I’ll have to try this out and see if we can beat the previous runtime with the PK Cell.

Nice content, but how did you fit the demon in you i3t. I have that battery and don't fit in my i3t.

I’m having the same problem
What did the voltage terminate at? It should be at 2.8v. Usually the protection circuit reduces the capacity a bit as the circuit take up space.

Gotcha, good to know. Yes, the claims get pretty wild sometimes! Good to test stuff, even if the tests aren’t perfect 👍

Thanks! Yes, there is a bit of travel but the click is very positive.
I can’t get protected cells to fit in my I3t. They’re just a bit too long. Any tips?
Yeah, the Demon Fire cells are a tight fit. I got them to work by screwing the tail cap on and off several times. Each time I was able to tighten it a bit more until eventually it was able to fit. Hope that helps!
did you ever find a new battery?

How come the battery isn't fitting in my i3t 2? Am I missing something
No, you’re not missing anything, It is a tight fit. I had to screw and unscrew the tail cap a few times before it fit.
You need a charger which show you the real charged mAh. Probably it doesnt have 600mAh.
You’re right. I think it’s probably 400mAh max.
Reviews on Demonfire batteries claim they test out as 300mah batteries--basically in line with your runtime findings.
Nice, good to know!
burnt out my I3T plus lol
Oh no!! I think stacking the batteries doubles the voltage to about 7.4 which is why 10440s don’t work in the i3T Plus.
Good way to melt your lens and burn out the led and circuits.
Maybe but I haven’t had any issues myself. I have some other test videos using these batteries if you’re interested. It’s definitely not for everyone and not recommend by Olight.
