I posted in the BST section looking for a Peak AAA Stainless head for a short Peak body and got no replies.
The battery is a 10220 (I think the number is right) battery. Can this head be bought new? I can't tell from the Peak website. Anyone have any idea where to get one new or used.
Thanks, frisco
Hi frisco,
I think the short Peak body you have is sized for a 10280 cell (28mm long, the same length as an N-cell, but the diameter of an AAA cell).
Yes the Peak Matterhorn AAA head can be bought new from Peak. Here is the page from the Peak website:

For my short Peak Matterhorn body, I use a 3 LED Hi-power stainless Matterhorn head. Any Peak Matterhorn head should fit the 10280 body you have, but I'd recommend the Hi-power (rather than the Ultra power) because the higher voltage input drives the Hi-power at the same brightness you'd normally get from an Ultra power. The Ultra power is somewhat overdriven by Li-Ion cell and would shorten the lifespan of the 5mm LEDs (perhaps to only a few hundred hours).
Hi paulr, the Hi-power Peak Matterhorn AAA heads will take a 3.6V Li-Ion cell. The Peak circuit is more robust than the ArcAAA.
