DUDE! You school me with every video you produce. Great info about power cells. I don't need increased throw with my microstream (which I just found floating in the bottom of my pack). The standard Energizer Ultimate Li batteries are perfect for my use. You ROCK!
One of the reasons that I enjoy the lights is because most of the time they don't cost too much. Retailers often send them out for me to evaluate and it's cool to experiment with them all. Anything EDC is cool though. I never get tired of new EDC gear. :)
Hey buddy, thanks for the feedback. County Comm said that they were going to send ma a Maratac Rev 2 for a review so I should have it any day. I'll let you know how mine behaves when it gets here. I'm bummed to hear that it didn't work though. I'm hoping it's a fluke but they may have changed the circuit.
Hey brother! When I finished that video I had 26 minutes worth of yapping. I had to reel it back in just to make it watchable but in the process didn't get to show the L92 battery compared to alkaline. I tested the light with the L92 and it was about 40 lumens which was pretty decent. Thanks so much for the encouragement, as always. P.S. Glad you found your microstream. I love it when that happens.
Thanks for the encouragement buddy! Yeah, it's a really popular aaa light. Sort of the standard aaa for the world outside of candlepowerforums. I'll be talking about li-ion safety in a future video.
im FINALLY in the 10440 microstream club. i had efest flat tops and they didnt work in my gen 3? microstream which is the 35 lumen version. i ordered some trustfire button tops off of ebay and NOW this could possibly be my new favorite light for short tasks. i had read of some people using a dollop of solder to make the flat tops work but i have an ultratac k18, lumintop tool that i ruined so only works with 10440's, and 2 olight i3e silver's and had 2 thrunite ti3's but gifted them both. i keep a surefire titan plus on my keychain and run eneloop pro's through it but the microstream/10440 combo is pretty much exactly what i wanted in a small light. slim enough, single mode with good brightness, priced well. thank you patriot36! i almost gave this light away too haha but not anymore!
Justin, try Candle Power Forums Marketplace for starters. Besides CPF, many of the CPF vendors carry them. Lighthound, Going Gear, Battery Junction, to name a few. Obviously you can google it as well. Please read the description for links to safety as well.
Both of those are good lights and I actually owned a lf2xt for a short time. Again, they're all hard on cells because even the protected cells will run at the limits of their discharge rate. Ok because I usually don't run them high on the multi mode lights. My theory, is if your knowingly planning to use a light 10 minutes straight, either jump up a cell size to AA, 123A or CR2, or use it on a slightly lower setting. It's a self assigned handicap, since 10440 can't maintain output due to sag.
Those have a protection circuit in them which makes them 2.25mm longer than the TrustFire cells that I'm using. Either it's a length issue or the protection circuit in the battery preventing over discharge.
Another great and informative video Patriot36. I look forward to all your video postings. I have been carrying a Streamlight Microstream for about 8 months now in my EDC. Absolutely no complaints and after watching your video I think I will be updating to the 10440. Keep up the great work Patriot36! Be safe!
It depends on if you run it on high or low. Usually, I've found that it will get pretty hot at 1-2 minutes, after that the voltage of the cell has sagged so much that it can't really get much hotter. Due to the current being drawn from the cell and it's small capacity it's sort of self regulating but I always tell people to use their best judgement. If it's too hot to hold comfortably, then shut it down.
I must say the light output is great with the 10440 but once the battery has discharged, the light is off, no getting dim with this set up. I purchased a pack of 4 TrustFire 10440 3.7 Li-ion for around $10 and the charger for about $7. Depending on my activity for the day, I will usually have an extra battery on my person. Generally I replace my battery every 1 to 3 days to avoid being caught with my tail between my legs. As an EDC this is the most affordable, compact and durable light I have used. With the extra voltage from the 10440 the Streamlight experiences quite a bit more heat but have run it for a full discharge (around 30 - 40 min).
Eneloop is a great cell so it it serves your purposes stick with it. The 10440 is a "hot rod" cell and will make the light really hot if left on for more than a minute. Different chemistry completely and needs a different charger and precautions for using Li-ion.
My first thought was to say, get a 10440 designed light but honestly, if the circuit isn't harmed by extra voltage for a non-10440 specified light, they're all even in that they'll all suffer from thermal spikes during periods of high output. In my experience & I've run a lot of lights with the 10440, the cell is always the limiting factor. It's going to be hard on the cell regardless of whether or not the light is designed for the cell. If you run the cell hard, expect shorter cell life.
Wow, I've got this light a while now and totally love it. I gonna test the 10440 and if it works that way your light do. It will be a super great small light ever. Thanks for sharing.
The other poster reminded me that it was your edc as well buddy. You beat me to the punch because I had never gave any interest in this light until I supercharged it...lol. Thanks for stopping by Crocket!
great video, i have owned this flashlight for quite some time now and i never knew that you could find batteries like this, i ordered a set of the rechargable lithium ion batteries and a charger, thanks for the review.
Yeah, there's always something more I could have done but I would have needed to take pictures and edit them in...extra steps. Beam shots can be found at CPF forums. Instead of 30L you're up to about 120-150L :)
Beast, no I never have but it's a calculated risk based on the circuit and the LED. For example, I wouldn't even try to put 2x10440s into a Preon2 or Streamlight Stylus because that's a 3V circuit and li-ion would push it to 8.4V. It's dangerous to run unprotected li-ion cells in series. Single cells aaa lights that use the Rebel emmitter would be a no, no, because it would probably fry it. Any incandescent light like a mag solitare would instantly kill the bulb as well. It a case by case buddy.
I love Crocket's videos and sort of remember him featuring this light. I might have to go back and watch it again. Sure is a great little edc but again, I also like to carry a multi-mode just in case.
Have this light and it must be a newer version because it says it's 45 lumens. Do you think it will be safe to run lithium ion batteries without frying the LED?
Well, I'll think about it and try to figure out a way of showing a many lights as I can without the video running too long. Even at 30 sec per light I'm looking at 40 min. of video. I don't know if it's feasible. Always open for ideas though. Thanks.
I have been running the Microstream for almost two years as a tow truck driver. At night I use it to load, check VIN, and check straps. I've used it in temps as low as -20. Simply, I don't go without one. About every three weeks I go through an Eneloop. So I have two questions: 1. where do you suggest buying 10440's 2. will it work with the charger that came with the Eneloops?? Great video as always
"drop in voltage?" Of course. Do you mean, is it regulated? No, to my knowledge it runs in direct drive on a 10440, resulting in a semi-linear voltage decrease. I use unprotected Ultra-fires. They're usually pretty good quality. I've actually had better luck with them than AW brand.
I've searched some of these actually, and ended up ordering a tank700 tk-703, to run protected trustfires. I liked the size and tail cap on it, and from what I could gather it would be up to it, although get hot. I couldn't really find anything better except for a liteflux lf2xt, but that's seem to be discontinued sadly.
No, I like flashlights too. It's like a video for those who don't have the time to watch all your reviews about flashlights. It will be nice, it will be unique!
I bought a microstream and 10440 batts off your recommendation and it worked great. So I bought a second one put the 10440 in and nothing. Regular AAA and it works. Trouble shot a bit with my other one that works and found I can switch both end caps with the 10440 one and they work fine so there is some kind of difference in the bodies of the 2 lights. Any ideas? After seeing my supercharged light there's no way I can just run the other one with regular batteries now. Lol.
You'll need a li-ion charger for these. A simple one is the Nano AAA li-ion charger, single bay. That's what I use but there are multi-bay charges as well. In my next video, I'm going to cover some chargers and places to get them. Going Gear and Lighthound are good sources though. I'm also going to talk about li-ion safety in the next video as well.
It's generally accepted that the AW brand cells are the best but I've had good luck with the Ultra-fires from the beginning and before AW were available. The larger the cell, the more priority I place on quality, however the difference in 10440 price is only $2-3 per cell. Peak output will be the same although the AW might provide higher runtime on lower settings. I typically purchase whatever is on sale. Thanks for watching bud!
Oh, just thought of something.....are you using protected or unprotected 10440s? IF they're protected cells, it could explain what you're experiencing.
I need to buy a decent charger and some low discharge NiMH batteries. It's good to know that you can "overclock" the Streamlight Microstream with a nifty battery. (They are pretty cheap, and the batteries cost $9 + the charger ($30)...)
Would of been sweet to have just a 1.3 battery beam shot with the 4.2 or whatever you said your running. Show the difference between both beams with the different voltage
Sure, that possibility exists but the 50,000 hours stated LED life is so high that only if you get 10,000 hours, new lights will be available long before you wear one out.
I've also ordered a trustfire f23 q5, to compare to the tank tk-703. I'm going to run them both straight for 15 minutes with protected li-ons to see which one holds up best If they both suck at it, I'll try the f23 on lower modes :p I'd go for a better safer cell, but I like to carry all my edc tools on a bulky key chain, while only the knife gets to ride solo. Having a thicker flashlight just won't work for me, with all the shit I got on already.
Congrats good video. Is there any problem for the Microstream to switch from a 10440 to a Alkaline back and forth? And what is the run time for the 10440 in the light? Thanks and ceep up the good work
yes it was, thanks! I wanted to try it but was worried it would die as soon as I did cuz I really like the light and now, Wow! can you say micro thrower! ha its been part of my edc since I bought it , thanks again!
What 10440 do you use/recommend? I have a microstream and want to try it out. Also what's a decent charger also that wont break the bank? Thanks for showing candlepowerforum. It seems to be a lot of info which I am trying to wade through. Thanks for what you do.
im about to buy one of these, aswell as the 10440 batteries.. im curious how much heat difference, if any you noticed from a standard AAA vs the 10440 with prolonged use?
By the way if you decide to do the review i would suggest a good title to it like for example Flashlights Wikipedia or something that will pop up first in the search engines
I got the tank tk-703 today, ran it on a new charged protected trustfire, and for 20 minutes it ran great although slightly hot, then it just turned off. From there it just went dead every few seconds even though I let it cool off. This is my first experience with 10440. Is this normal to happen, because of the cell? I suspect if I charge it up again it will work for another 20 minutes.
I just got the thrunite ti as well and have been considering 10440s for it, do you recommend just running it for a minute or 2 at a time with it? or how fast does it actually heat up
Hey Patriot.. i finally got a 10440 but i dunno if its not making contact.. but im getting no light with a charge 10440.. did you stick something on or in the flashlight to get contact|?
If you were to "hard use" (lets say for 10 minutes straight on high mode) with 10440 once a week plus to regular use, which one will it be? I'm having trouble finding out which work best as far as safety and run time under these conditions.
I "should have mentioned" what? It's a Ultrafire 10440, blue, unprotected cell as stated in the video. If it doesn't work in your microstream, give the batteries to someone with a 10440 specific light or go purchase one yourself. If you read through the comments, the stated cells work 95% of the time. These are cheap components so perhaps your light or batteries are slightly longer or shorter than they should be. Experiment a bit or order the cells from a different source.
The first hint of a poor performing cell, discard it and replace it with a brand new cell. It's not worth the $3-4 to have a charger fire in your house.
Just got my trust fire unprotected 10440s and charger in the mail, plugged in charger, charged up 4, popped one in and got ready to be amazed. *Click*nothing, popped in alkaline *click* light....tried all 4 and can't get any light. : ( will post on candle power forum with links to exact products
Russian. опять смотрю твой ролик и опять завидую твоей коллекции фонариков на то время. я некоторые из них впервые увидел когда был резервист в израильской армии
Hey. I bought some 10440 protected cells, and they dont even fit into my microstream and they do not work at all. Well, they do in my i3 eos, but not the microstream. Do you have any idea why that is? Or what should i try to make it work? Thank You and keep the vids comming

120-140L. Not nearly as high as some other AAAs on 10440's but it does out throw 99% of them.
Thanks for the encouragement buddy! Yeah, it's a really popular aaa light. Sort of the standard aaa for the world outside of candlepowerforums. I'll be talking about li-ion safety in a future video.

Really kind of ya BigRams! Thanks for taking the time.
The maratacs work really well on 10440's. It's been my main aaa edc for at least 2-3 years.
Wow, I've got this light a while now and totally love it. I gonna test the 10440 and if it works that way your light do. It will be a super great small light ever. Thanks for sharing.

It really transforms the light! Run-time is only 30-45 minutes. There's a helpful link in the description box as well.
great video, i have owned this flashlight for quite some time now and i never knew that you could find batteries like this, i ordered a set of the rechargable lithium ion batteries and a charger, thanks for the review.

Thanks for watching man!
Thanks RynoFitness, this one's a Panasonic HDC-SD60
Could be a difference in overall length Ryan. That's all I can think off.
That would be great. I'll count you as the 3rd tester.
Beautiful videos about that 104047 voltage, really educational for the kids.
Sucks Chris! I guess you'll have to get a 10440 capable light now. I've never heard of an example microstream not working yet.
I've searched some of these actually, and ended up ordering a tank700 tk-703, to run protected trustfires.
I liked the size and tail cap on it, and from what I could gather it would be up to it, although get hot. I couldn't really find anything better except for a liteflux lf2xt, but that's seem to be discontinued sadly.
No, I like flashlights too. It's like a video for those who don't have the time to watch all your reviews about flashlights. It will be nice, it will be unique!
I bought a microstream and 10440 batts off your recommendation and it worked great. So I bought a second one put the 10440 in and nothing. Regular AAA and it works.

No worries bud! I hope it was helpful.

Oh, just thought of something.....are you using protected or unprotected 10440s? IF they're protected cells, it could explain what you're experiencing.
I need to buy a decent charger and some low discharge NiMH batteries.
It's good to know that you can "overclock" the Streamlight Microstream with a nifty battery. (They are pretty cheap, and the batteries cost $9 + the charger ($30)...)
Patriot, I think you have achieved flashlight readiness.
Would of been sweet to have just a 1.3 battery beam shot with the 4.2 or whatever you said your running. Show the difference between both beams with the different voltage
Sure, that possibility exists but the 50,000 hours stated LED life is so high that only if you get 10,000 hours, new lights will be available long before you wear one out.
I've also ordered a trustfire f23 q5, to compare to the tank tk-703.
I'm going to run them both straight for 15 minutes with protected li-ons to see which one holds up best
If they both suck at it, I'll try the f23 on lower modes :p
I'd go for a better safer cell, but I like to carry all my edc tools on a bulky key chain, while only the knife gets to ride solo. Having a thicker flashlight just won't work for me, with all the shit I got on already.
Hi could you make a video for reviewing ALL your flashlights in one condensed package like a minute or so for each flashlight that would be great?
Congrats good video. Is there any problem for the Microstream to switch from a 10440 to a Alkaline back and forth?
And what is the run time for the 10440 in the light?
Thanks and ceep up the good work
Wow, you know a lot about flashlights and batteries. I just ordered two of these flashlights after watching your video.
Oooh, C4 ;)
Have you ever had any lights fail with running the higher voltage
How's the Thrunite Ti on the 10440?
yes it was, thanks! I wanted to try it but was worried it would die as soon as I did cuz I really like the light and now, Wow! can you say micro thrower! ha its been part of my edc since I bought it , thanks again!
Yep, just follow li-ion safety rules and you'll be good. Enjoy!
What about a microstream Protac 1aaa? seems to have the same c4 led.
Is there a key chain light you would recommend. Small and professional grade or as close to as possible. Cost no issue. Thanks for all the reviews.
All that and you didn't compare it to how it runs on a AAA??? :(
What 10440 do you use/recommend? I have a microstream and want to try it out. Also what's a decent charger also that wont break the bank? Thanks for showing candlepowerforum. It seems to be a lot of info which I am trying to wade through. Thanks for what you do.
im about to buy one of these, aswell as the 10440 batteries.. im curious how much heat difference, if any you noticed from a standard AAA vs the 10440 with prolonged use?
Can u use any recharger with the 10440? Great Video...I'm going to pick up some of these batteries.
Nice collection, I'm at about 18-20 lights. Like guns and knives they are crack for gear junkies.
Mine I got today say 45 lumes...
OK does your flashlight run hot with that 3.6 volt 10440?
Ok I have. No result. I red somewhere, that a little soldering job on the positive end might help. What do you think?
thanks
Thanks Jeff! I'm glad it was helpful man!
Glad you figured it out!! My 10440's have always had nipples.
I have had problems with the pocket clip being too loose and sliding out of my pocket.
By the way if you decide to do the review i would suggest a good title to it like for example Flashlights Wikipedia or something that will pop up first in the search engines
I got the tank tk-703 today, ran it on a new charged protected trustfire, and for 20 minutes it ran great although slightly hot, then it just turned off.
From there it just went dead every few seconds even though I let it cool off.

Great vid thanx bro. Amazon has this light for $17 on sale going to pick one up.
If you were to "hard use" (lets say for 10 minutes straight on high mode) with 10440 once a week plus to regular use, which one will it be?
I'm having trouble finding out which work best as far as safety and run time under these conditions.
How many lumens about is the Stream light micro stream running a 1440 cell?
I was wondering what kind of running time we have lighting this light with 10440?
i finally bought one of these for myself and my father for christmas. just curious if your still rocking this little light with the 10440?
No mods needed for my two or the other two lights that I've tried the 10440 in. What kind of batteries are you using?
What's the run time on it, and what's the longest time you have left it on for Continuously
Obiously run-time is impossible to measure. Let's just say about 20 x 1 minute bursts.
Hows this holding up after 10 years?
I "should have mentioned" what? It's a Ultrafire 10440, blue, unprotected cell as stated in the video. If it doesn't work in your microstream, give the batteries to someone with a 10440 specific light or go purchase one yourself. If you read through the comments, the stated cells work 95% of the time. These are cheap components so perhaps your light or batteries are slightly longer or shorter than they should be. Experiment a bit or order the cells from a different source.
The first hint of a poor performing cell, discard it and replace it with a brand new cell. It's not worth the $3-4 to have a charger fire in your house.
About 30min. of good output then another 30 minutes of fading output.
Get a good AA or 14500 flashlight, it's more compact than carrying 2.
Just got my trust fire unprotected 10440s and charger in the mail, plugged in charger, charged up 4, popped one in and got ready to be amazed. *Click*nothing, popped in alkaline *click* light....tried all 4 and can't get any light. : ( will post on candle power forum with links to exact products
Am I the second tester?
Russian. опять смотрю твой ролик и опять завидую твоей коллекции фонариков на то время. я некоторые из них впервые увидел когда был резервист в израильской армии
Hey. I bought some 10440 protected cells, and they dont even fit into my microstream and they do not work at all. Well, they do in my i3 eos, but not the microstream. Do you have any idea why that is? Or what should i try to make it work?
Thank You and keep the vids comming
Turns out my problem was my 10440s had no nipples (flat tops). A dab of solder (dangerous I know) allowed them to make contact.
