Light or lamp with a lithium battery

zolly said:
My magneto LED lamp has given up the ghost because the battery refuses to hold a reasonable amount of charge. To avoid chucking the whole thing away, I have tried finding 6V lithium ion batteries that will last longer than the LA batteries currently inside the thing, but they don't seem to exist.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good light or lamp with a lithium battery backup?

Have found a potential solution.
Not too sure, but it might need a buck converter though as the Vp could go as high as 7.2V.

7.2v should be fine, at the most the light should just be a bit brighter.

I also have those, but they don't last very long if one does not keep them on long while Eskom is alive. ;)

That is because of dishonest 3rd party chancers:

Takealot has a problem with 3rd party sellers.

I have noticed that some 3rd party sellers are selling different products under the same listing on Takealot. This could partly explain mixed reviews on the same listing. Here is how I think 3rd party sellers are abusing the system that is in place: A seller can look for a listing with good...

SWITCHED is everywhere in all the retail shops - copy cat of Magneto. Bit cheaper, maybe not as bright spec wise according to the box, but looks identical.

They even do Portable Power Stations like GIZZU.

No idea who they are, no worries. Just interesting seeing Incredible Connection selling the brand and not Magneto for that matter I think.

I have converted my magneto to LiFePo4. I did not buy that pack though I got everything loose and made my own pack.

It now has 2 x 32700 6000mAh A grade cells and a 2s bms vs the std 4Ah LA battery.

3.2v at 6ah = 19.2wh x 2 = 38.4Wh vs 24Wh of the original battery.

I have a bit of a concern on how log it would take to charge them. I plugged the magneto into a watt meter last night and it only drew around 3.5W at most assunming it cahrges at 3.5w, it may take around 11 hours to fully charge from 0. edit: i think this was with the light on...
