Archangel, sounds like you did damage one of your unprotected Li-ion cells. They don't like to drop below about 2.5 volts. Even if it runs normally, you should probably replace it as a safety precaution. As of a week or two ago, 4sevens was selling the LG unprotected 2400mAh cells at a very reasonable price.
BTW, 4.5 hours with a damaged cell is pretty impressive!
Mike Painter, milky can build these into a Maglite of any length. Yes, the 2D does run in a stock body, but it could just as easily run in a modified body so long as the inside of the Mag head hasn't been changed in terms of its dimensions. With the larger (Mag 2D and 3D) builds, milky has been installing microcontrolled buck circuits that provide dimming capability, full power burst mode, automatic dimming and shutoff, etc. PM me if you're interested.
