had mine on charge for a long time now (>6hr) but light is still red…. how long are people putting them on charge for… overnight?

depends on which charger – helmet mount light comes with a worse charger than bar mount light

bar mount….

got a p7 torch too… and those trustfire cells.. they charged up ok.

Does it?

What does the bar light charger state?

Helmet light charger states 1800MA

The P7 spec states that it runs at 3.6v & 2800ma, i.e. 10 watts and generates 90 lumens per watt. This ties in with the claimed brightness of 900 max.

As the endurance is 3 hours the battery should have a capacity of 3 x 2800ma, i.e. 8400ma.

Charger states a capacity of 1800ma, thus it should take 4hrs 40mins to charge to full from flat.

This is of course assuming the charge rate is constant and doesn't tail off as full capacity is reached.
