17670 or 16340 fur Tiablo MA6 ?

[mrfunk]

Hello,
I have a Tiablo MA6 and I read on some forum that it doesn't support 16340 with 5 mode switch. Anybody has some experience with that flashlight and with that cells (16340) ?
I tried Ultrafire and Trustfire cells but they doesn't work.
Where can I buy rechargeable 17670 or 16340 that works for MA6 ( in Germany) ?
Thanks

Hello mrfunk and bonsoir,

I have no Tiablo MA6 but I've found this review:
http://lightreviews.info/tiablo_ma6/review.html

"Take note that when using the 3/5-stage switch module with freshly charged 2x 16340 cells, the light will not power up. You'll have to wait or run down the cells in another light till each of their voltages stabilize to 4.2 or below. This will be the case with popular chargers such as the UltraFire WF-139 and WF-138 models."

Of course it isn't good at all to charge the cells higher than 4.2 volts.
But that seems to be the reason, when the light doesn't power up.

You can find AWs also in france:

Hi mrfunk,

Beware of the UF chargers, they do charge batteries above 4,20V, if the cells are left in the cradle after the led turns green.

Have a look at my modified TrustFire Charger, thats exactly what you need. Some soldering skill is required to do the mod.
Newer models may have a different PCB layout, but it's worth to give it a try.

I'm sorry to tell you, that the forum language is German.
International members are welcome, but posts must be done in German language....

Sorry, haven't seen them in europe yet at all.
I orderde them in the sales thread on CPF.
All you need is a PayPal account.
Shipping usually takes 10 days I think.

I have 2 kind of Ultrafire chargers + some cheapest DSD charger, they works good (DSD) ?
