Looking for the best way to power my 3D Mag 85's, 9AA battery pack, battery holder, 18650's, etc.? Looking for a reasonable priced power source for my Mag 85's. I am looking for 4 at this time.

I'm completely sold on 3 C cells these days. I like the simplicity of only three cells, the runtime is excellent. On the down side, the resistance is pretty low so you have to watch the max voltage.
I'm also running a M6 on 3 x 17650 which seems to work well too.
Three li-ion D-cells would be ideal, to make the best use of space within your Mag3D.
Protected li-ion D-cells aren't available yet. However, unprotected D-cells are available at Kaidomain, if you aren't too nervous about using them. I've been using two of them for about eight months now.
Three AW protected C-cells is a great option, if you can find any. My favorite form factor for an 1185 is a Mag3C.
I have these in my 2xD Mag, they run my P5761 bulb. I believe they are protected....

I have these unprotected D-cells from KD. These suckers hold their voltages and will blow a 5761, if you don't use a soft-start.

They have arrived and we are not off to a good start. First they will not make contact without a magnet on the + side. Second they are too long to fit the Mag without further mod, which I was hoping to avoid.
