Need help, SF M6 battery holder options?

waynejitsu · May 7, 2007

What options do I have for the M6 battery holder?
I am sure someone has modded something to keep from feeding 6 CR123's at a time.

Anyone make a 3x 18670, 3x 17670, etc?

I like my light, just gets expensive to feed it at 6 batteries every 90 minutes...

Thanks for any help

Do a search for M6-R and the HDM6. There are also several threads of DIY rechargeable options as well

Here's another option - Lumensfactory bulb and RCR123s:

Try 6 x RC123 in the stock battery holder running an 1185 in FM's bi pin M6 bulb holder - works great for me.

Twice I have had an 1185 blow up inside a MAG host and twice it damaged my alumn reflector. Once @ 11.1 volts and the second was at 10.8 volts. Each time though i had extended runs of at least 1/2 hour or longer. I also purchased one of FM's MN holder with the idea that i would use "other' bulbs in my M6. But after seeing the damage to my MAG alumn reflector - I have decided that I will not chance damaging my M6 turbo head. I have had M6 bulbs burn out - but not explode. This post is just FYI.
