Hi, I have a newbie question. I like the 1D mag but how can I mod it with a Malkoff drop in. Thanks in advance.

Im running a 1D Maglite with a 2-3 cell Malkoff dropin.
I can use either a AW 18650 cell with a homemade sleeve made
out of plastic packaging wrap or using a Kaidomain D size Li-ion cell.
If you use the Kia D cell you need a magnetic spacer on top of the cell
to make electrical contact with the Mag.
Also get one of their replacement "gold" battery springs, these make better
contact with the bottom of the 18650 cell.
If you order the cell from Kaidomain, while your at it, grab one of their
MOP reflectors the you'll be laughing :crackup:

tx101's got you covered with the Li-ion option.

For NiMH you could use a 3AA-1D adapter,or 4AA-1D if your host is bored to accept the width.

I have three 1D Mag's with Malkoff drop ins. One runs off of a LuxLuthor 4xAA Eneloop pack, the other runs off a fivemega 4xAA battery holder and the last runs off a 18650 with a sleeve and the tail cap is slightly bored and a smaller spring was used.
