Military Type Flashlight 5.11
This time I got my hands on this fast-loading military flashlight to be repaired, since its charge was not lasting long.
This Flashlight is characterized by having a 90 second charging system, a super fast charge.
This Flashlight is from a brand of police and military objects and garments and they are generally imported, and there are no authorized agents that give technical support when this type of thing is presented.
The First Step was to identify which screwdriver to use, and begin with the disassembly of the flashlight, in order to get to its internal parts.
After disassembling, it was possible to see the internal plate in charge of giving the lighting system to the powerful LEDs.
But my surprise was when I reached the complete internal part, and realized that the battery system is not conventional batteries, without being made up of a bank of 300 Farads at 2.3 Volts, for a total of 3 Capacitors.
When Checking the Capacitors with the capacimeter, I could see that they were in their optimal values, and that when checking the power distribution board and the LEDs, it was also in Good Condition.
Note: these capacitors are high risk and must be treated by qualified personnel, with the required tools and safety standards.
Having nowhere else to look, I immediately thought about the charging system, so I proceeded to uncover the smart charger and thoroughly check the charging system.
The fault was found very quickly and easily, as the tin solder joints in the charger terminals that connect a flashlight were somewhat broken and that is why perhaps it did not make a proper contact and did not charge the flashlight capacitors well.
Beat with welding and create a good bond in the materials and that's it. The charger and the entire flashlight were reassembled and when checking the rapid charging system it was in full operation.
This Flashlight has incredible power, it shows because it is military and police grade and its fast-charging technology is unique.
Well this was another repair and failures resolved satisfactorily, I hope it will help you for any occasion. Do not hesitate to comment or ask, I will gladly assist you.
