Fenix UC40 Ultimate Edition USB Rechargeable 960 lumen flashlight

[Notosora-Fenix]

Hey Can-down

The UC40 will only charge the ARB-L1T, ARB-L1S or ARB-L1 battery, It will not charge 18650 batteries.

Can you top up the flashlight via USB without first discharging it and without damaging the battery ie. developing memory issues?

Dave's has the flashlight on its website but it is only 420 lumens, not 960 on turbo.

When will the newer more powerful lights be available in Canada?

Thanks Matt, I wonder why it won't charge other li-ion rechargeable cells?
Do you know if there is a minimum charge current? Could a solar panel trickle feed the unit?

Geo, Batteries have come along way and don't really suffer from the memory issue any more. The newest li-ions are also a lot better at holding a charge when not in use.

Hi Can-down

The circuit is designed to only charge the listed batteries, it becomes disabled when it detects other battery types
Fenix has said the minimum charge current is 500mA.

Thanks
