Ok, I'm sure you guys can offer me a few suggetions at least. I really want to make the brightest 5w'er I can. I want to use a 5w Cyan for this and put it in a 2D pewter mag. I don't want to use cr123's. I'd like a bit more capacity than they hold and a lot cheaper solution.
The only things I can think of right now is: 6 AA's, 2D's w/boost, or 2 or more 9v's in parallel.
But as for cost I want cheap so none really seem viable other than maybe the AA's if they were NiMH.
I'm thinking 6 AA's made into a shrink wrap battery pack with either a charging jack built into the mag or just slide the pack out with wires for charging.
If so, though, where do I get NiMH AA's for cheap, how much are they, and how do I charge them? also how would I wire the battery pack for charging? diffren't than what I'd use to power the flashlight??
Any ideas are welcome PLEASE!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
