2.1 Battery Installation
The Convoy S2+ flashlight requires one (1) 18650 lithium battery (protected or unprotected type). The battery is not included with the flashlight and must be purchased separately.
- Unscrew the tail cap of the flashlight by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Insert one 18650 lithium battery with the positive (+) terminal facing towards the head of the flashlight. The flashlight features reverse polarity protection, but correct insertion is always recommended.
- Screw the tail cap back on by turning it clockwise until it is securely tightened. Ensure a snug fit to maintain proper electrical contact and water resistance.

- The flashlight will then flash a number of times, corresponding to the mode group number (e.g., 1 flash for Group 1, 2 flashes for Group 2, etc.).
- To select a mode group, tap the switch during the flashing sequence that corresponds to your desired group. For example, if you want Group 5, wait for 5 flashes and then tap the switch.
Available Mode Groups:
- Group 1 (1 flash): 0.1%, 1%, 10%, 35%, 100%, Strobe, Biking, Battery-check

Option 2: Activate/Deactivate Mode Memory
After entering configuration mode, the flashlight will flash twice, then pause briefly, then flash again. This double flash represents 'Option 2'. To select this option, tap the switch during the double flash. This will toggle the mode memory function.
- If mode memory is active, the flashlight will turn on in the last used brightness level.
- If mode memory is inactive, the flashlight will always start in the lowest brightness mode.
3.3 Battery Check Instructions
To check the battery voltage, activate the 'Battery-check' mode within a selected mode group (if available). The flashlight will flash to indicate the voltage level:
- <2.95V: 1 flash (Low battery, recharge immediately)
- 2.95-3.25V: 2 flashes
- 3.25-3.55V: 3 flashes
- 3.55-3.85V: 4 flashes
- >3.85V: 5 flashes (Full or near-full charge)
4. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Threads and O-rings: Apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the threads and O-rings every few months to ensure smooth operation and maintain water resistance.
- Battery Care: Remove the battery if the flashlight will not be used for an extended period. Store batteries in a cool, dry place.
- Lens Care: Clean the AR-coated glass lens with a microfiber cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid touching the lens directly with fingers.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flashlight does not turn on. | Low or dead battery, incorrect battery insertion, loose tail cap. | Charge or replace the battery. Ensure battery is inserted with positive (+) end towards the head. Tighten the tail cap securely. |
| Light flickers or turns off intermittently. | Loose connections (tail cap, driver board), dirty contacts, low battery. | Ensure tail cap is fully tightened. Clean battery contacts and flashlight threads. Check battery charge. If issue persists, inspect internal connections (driver board, switch board) for tightness. |
| Reduced brightness or unexpected dimming. | Low battery, overheating (temperature protection activated). | Recharge the battery. Allow the flashlight to cool down if it has been operating on high modes for an extended period. |
