Battery
21700 power cell set for the Forge 60 and Forge 66 battery bay. Designed around two power-type 21700 cells in a 2S configuration, with JP40, 40PL, or 45D-class cells recommended for the standard high-output build.
Recommended battery protection is a 2S 13A board for the standard Forge 60 / Forge 66 configuration. A 2S 25A protection board may be used as an optional alternative where the build requires higher current overhead.

Before you order
Forge 60 FAQ
Clear answers about the kit format, batteries, assembly, tools, USB-C power, and 60W thermal design.Is Forge 60 fully assembled?
No. Forge 60 ships as a separated parts kit for simple final assembly.
Are batteries included?
No. Batteries are not included. Forge 60 uses two power-type 21700 cells.
Does it require soldering?
No soldering is required for normal final assembly.
What tool do I need?
A screwdriver is required for assembly.
How difficult is the assembly?
The kit is designed for simple final assembly: seat the body parts, fit the front glass, close the rear cap, and tighten the screws.
How does it handle heat at 60W / 10000 lm?
The 60W mode uses a dedicated 30x30x50mm heatsink and a 3010 fan to move heat away from the LED head. High-output mode still produces heat during use.
Can it charge over USB-C?
Yes. Forge 60 is specified around 45W Type-C charge and discharge hardware.
Who is this kit for?
Forge 60 is best for users who are comfortable with simple screw-based assembly and want a repairable, hardware-transparent work light.

Performance proof
Positioned for short high-output work sessions without automatic step-down under normal use.
Runtime targets for 60W, 30W, and 3W modes give buyers a clear power budget.
Type-C charging and discharge support a compact power workflow with about one hour to full charge.
A 30x30x50mm heatsink and 3010 fan are called out as part of the lamp-head structure.
Specification-backed claims
Performance messaging is tied to concrete build parameters: board thickness, charge IC, battery format, protection board, cooling package, and runtime by power mode.
