Survival Tubes - Converts to 18650(1D, 2D, and 3D)-550 Paracord

No Longer Accepting Orders.

Turn your Maglite into the ultimate survival flashlight.

Like our previous battery tubes, these will securely hold 18650 Lithium Ion batterys in your maglite without damaging them. These tubes have the same high quality as our other tubes, but are much more capable.

We are utilizing empty space in our light and filling it with Military Grade 550 Parachute Cord.

Paracord has a tensile strength of 550# minimum and consists of 7 inner strands. The 7 inner strands can easily be removed from the inside of the cord and be used for lighter duty tasks. With 7 inner strands, plus the outside casing, you have roughly 64 feet of cord.

Uses of Paracord:

-Building a shelter
-Fishing (inner strands)
-Tying down items
-Reparing Shoelaces
-Etc.

I have had mine for a few months, and have used it for various every day tasks such as securing kayak to a vehicle, building a clothes line, and a few other times. I know that as long as I have my light, I have paracord.

Paracord is abrasion resistant, and these battery tubes are easily re-raveled onto the tube after the cord is used for a specific task.




1D - 4.2V (one 18650)
2D - 8.4V (two 18650's)
3D - 12.6V (three 18650's)


Price:
1D - $13
2D - $15
3D - $16


Shipping
is $3 per order in Continental United States.
International shipping is $5

Don't pay shipping twice if you order more than 1.


***Specify size in Paypal comments, or in your PM***


Typical lead time is a 3-4 days to make and ship. You should receive this within 7-9 days after ordering.


Whats Included??
-18650 battery tube
-Approximately 8 feet of 550 Parachute Cord. 7 inner strands. (1D is roughly 3.5')
-Tailcap conversion with retaining clip and spring.

Installation Instructions

1. Remove the stock spring from the tailcap

2. Remove adhesive cover, allow the wire to sit in the removed area of foam. (Helps make a flat surface, so the foam sticks better)

3. Insert the foam into the tailcap and press firmly.

4. Insert retaining ring. Does not require pliers, your fingers will work fine!

Very cool, sadly I'm probably not going to be doing any mag mods for a while but when I do I'll be looking at these.
