Li14430 battery options

Measure the length of your little light. I’d bet a dollar to a donut that 14500 flat cell would fit it just fine. It’s just a little bit longer than 14430

That’s a negative on the 14500. It’s just too long. When they built this Li, I think they built it around that cell.

I went by and picked up the 3.2v cells suggested and tested my new Li14430 light that came today. It’s a beauty! I still have the camera cells coming that I’ll eventually use that should provide a few more lumens. Here’s a picture:

Glad I could be of service after years of abandoning this place. Enjoy that beautiful little light!

The machine work on that body looks like the perfect combination of providing optimal purchase, while not being extreme like a rasp or cheese grater. The details matter.

Yes, it looks amazing, beautiful machine work.
