    18650 as c-cell alternative?

    Sorry of this is a well trodden path. However I've searched on here and on youtube. I have a 3x c cell flashlight that I really like. I also have some brand new, very expensive 18650 cells. Is it possible to replace 3x cells with 1x 18650? I have done some battery swapping before (swapping 6x...

    Need flashlight to match batteries

    Thanks for all the replies folks. I guess my my primary reason for carrying a flashlight on me for the past several years is self defence. I don’t know if that makes me sound crazy or not but it’s true. However thankfully I’ve never had to use it. I do use my lights routinely for general stuff...

    Need flashlight to match batteries

    I did something a bit stupid last week. I bought a $10 flashlight from amazon in one of their lightning sales. It required 2x18650 batteries and all the ones I have these days are a mish mash of random brands. So... I spent $50 on two Olight 18650s and bought a new nitecore charger. So...

    Full weight battery spacers

    Hi BVH I have sourced the length of a D-Cell to be 61.5mm So 6 D-Cells = 369mm The length of a keeppower 5200mAh 26650 is 69.1mm So 2 26650s = 138.2mm 369 - 138.2 = 231mm THUS: The overall length of the spacer should be 231mm (would appreciate some sense checking here) The diameter of the...

    Full weight battery spacers

    Hey thank you so much. I am interested! My plan is to power a 6D maglite with 2x26650s - So I am thinking i would need 4 spacers? In fact... If I did some simple sums I could possibly just have one large spacer made, rather than 3 or 4 D Cells blanks? Would that work for you? Thanks!

    Full weight battery spacers

    Thanks for these replies guys! I love how on this forum people talk about boring out aluminium as if that's a normal thing anyone can do lol! Love it! Unfortunately that ain't me! But I will investigate for sure. I'm surprised full weight spacers aren't already a thing. I can't be the only one...

    Full weight battery spacers

    Hi there, Does anyone know where I can get full weight battery spacers; D cell size? I want to power my 6D maglite with 2x26650s but I want it to retain it's weight / balance. This is probably a really stupid question, but would drained D-Cells work? Thanks

    The shorty spring

    So, is it absolutely essential to use the shorty spring when converting a 2D maglite to use 2x26650 batteries? Thanks

    FS: 5,000+ lumen Dropin for Maglite.

    I hear you, but I am spending a lot on hosts and bulb upgrades so I don't want to shirk on the battery. If you are recommending Tenergy NIMH D-cells then that's what I'll try and get. Even if it means ordering from the USA.

    Best 26650 batteries to get in UK?

    Hi guys I'm after some 26650s to power some high lumen upgrades. I keep hearing folks recommending the Keeppower brand, but they are all but impossible to find here in the UK. Anyone have any any other Recommendations? thanks a lot.

    FS: 5,000+ lumen Dropin for Maglite.

    Hi Vesture, I'm pretty sure those duracells are NIMH - or am I being mental? thanks

    FS: 5,000+ lumen Dropin for Maglite.

    Do you guys think these are suitable for powering the 5000 Lumen 6D Maglite? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01E9QDA4I/ They are probably the best known battery brand here in the UK.
