Inova XO on 17670 batteries?

[chee]

Will an Inova XO run on a single 17670 battery? I'd like to hear some experiences before I invest in the battery.

I do not know for the X0 but a X5 run on a 18650 unprotected (from a laptop batteries pack).

yes, it will run on 17670, I used it as a bed side light and couldn't really tell too much difference between 2 CR123 and 1 17670.

my unprotected 17670 (ultrafire, I think) fit in snug but YMMV on the battery fitting.

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. Losing brightness is not really an issue - just didn't want to have to keep using primaries.
I'll try an unprotected cell and see how it fits before investing in some of AW's protected ones.
