According to the provided specifications, after the 40 seconds in turbo mode, the flashlight can run for another 2 hours at 750 lumens.

For more details on battery life, refer to the image included below. The flashlight charges via USB-C, with the port located at the lamp head and secured with a rubber cover. The replaceable 21700 battery has a capacity of 18.5Wh.
Beam Performance Comparison
In contrast to the Acebeam E75, which we have previously reviewed and looks somewhat similar, the EC90 has a more focused beam that reaches an impressive 82,000 candela. While both flashlights share a similar lumen output, the E75 provides approximately 17,000 candela. The EC90 is designed with only one LED, unlike the four found in the E75, yet it performs comparably. Acebeam chose a cool white LED that has a color temperature of 6,500 Kelvin.
Weight and Durability
Weighing in at 8.36 oz, the EC90 is quite heavy and belongs to the more robust EDC flashlight category. It’s better suited for activities like camping rather than daily carry. Despite its heft, it comes with a two-way clip that can be attached to a cap. Acebeam claims that this new flashlight can withstand drops from heights of up to 5 feet and is also dust and water-resistant, complying with the IP68 rating.
The EC90 is currently available for sale and is marked as “in stock” on Acebeam’s official online store, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $109.
