Oveready pocket moddoolar - batteries \ recommendations for triple head light
Hi!
I'm relatively new to the forum, but wanted to ask a brief question - and appologies in advance if this is not the proper venue for this.
I have owned in the past several production lights (Fenix pd35, surefire EB1 and EB2, Eagletac D25C, even a brief time with a mcgizmo haiku hi-cri).
Recently, I ordered an Oveready pocket Moddoolar light (This being my first Multi LED light...). The exact configuration on it's way to me is :
-Body Size - DB 65mm (1x18650, 2x18350)
-Light Engine - Triple H3 LMH Cool XPG2
Now, my understanding is that with the tube size I've chosen I can (obviously) use an 18650, or two 18350s.
I have an Xtar MP1-s charger and the following batteries en route :
-AW Protected 18650 2900mAh
-AW Protected 18650 3400mAh
-2x AW IMR 18350 700mAh
I understand that the use of two cells will provide enough V to the light to keep current fully regulated, and also reach top illumination... But at what cost to runtime? (The two IMRs being only 700mAh each).
Am I correct in assuming that Ill experience much much MUCH longer run time with a protected 3400mAh, but sacrifice around 30% max illumination, as well as regulation of current throughout the drain of the cell?
Why would I ever use an imr 18650 then?
For someone that doesn't use their light as a primary job tool, and more as a hobbyist, what run times could i expect charging my two IMR 700mAh cells in my MP1-S and using them instead of a large 18650? Does anyone have any experience with this in this particular light?
My initial plan is to use the two 18350s for the max output and regulation since I don't require absolutely absurd runtime...I just want to know how long I can expect on the different power levels.
Apologies to the community if this seems a bit silly to ask - I'm still relatively new to this, and even newer still to different battery chemistry \ sizes.
Thank you for reading
