Real-World Scenarios: Emergency Repair & Vehicle Inspection

Roadside repairs: stable lumen output under cold/wind; quick top-up charging via vehicle DC
Workshop checks: high CRI with constant current; reliable cells for repeated quick bursts
Night inspections: wide temp range (−20~60 °C); safe PCM/BMS against misuse

Key Battery Requirements

1) Stable Brightness & High Discharge

Cells need low internal resistance and support for 5–10C peaks to avoid dimming during high output.

2) Safe Protection & Compliance

UN38.3 / IEC62133 / CE compliance with PCM/BMS: OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP; optional NTC and short-circuit protection.

3) Fast Recharge & Cycle Life

Support 1–2C charge where applicable; 500–2000+ cycles depending on chemistry and pack setup.

4) Wide Temperature & Mechanical Robustness

Operation from −20~60 °C with shock resistance and sealed wiring for field use.
