I believe I have a bad 18650 cell in my Nitesun DIV20S battery canister. It's the same canister used by Orcatorch.
The batteries appear to be glued into the canister. I don't know what kind of adhesive was used. Perhaps I just need to warm it up with a heat gun and then I can remove the batteries. However, heat gun + lithium = possible trouble.
Here's what's going on ... the canister shows zero charge and no battery LEDs are illuminated. I start charging. After about 15 seconds, it shows full charge. I then connect the light head, and it works for about 20 seconds. Then it's dead.
Any tips on removing the batteries to investigate?
