Thanks.
Ha-ha, I had a temporary brain fart and confused lithium polymer with LiFePO4, which I didn't think came in the bag format.
The 240 mAh capacity is similar (actually 60 mAh more at 180 mAh) to the little 10280 cylindrical can batteries I have for lights like my Peak Eiger, TnC, and MBI flashlights, but I bet this battery will last a lot longer between charges because of the XPG, XPG2, and Nichia 219 emitters used and the extreme brightness of those lights in direct drive. Is direct drive used in this light on the brightest setting?
For anyone interested Wikipedia has a good article on LiPo batteries:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_polymer_batteries
Actually the articles on all the different types of lithium and lithium ion batteries are very good and worth reading. I recently read the very interesting article on lithium thionyl chloride batteries, which are a bit different. For example, they can last 25 years in service. Also, they are actually lithium metal and not lithium ion type, a point I had missed before.
Sorry about going OT a bit but this is pretty cool stuff.
