My Tiger light has a dead battery pack and I don't want to spent top dollars to purchase a new high power battery pack as I don't use them often and I don't like the self discharge issue.

I tried two 18650 Liion form my scappped laptop battery pack with good result. But they have only about 1000mA left.

I am thinking buying two protected 2400mA from AW. The only problem is how do I connect the two in series as there is no tab to solder, not like my scrapped laptop 18650 which has tabs.

Two 18650 fit inside the tube with room to spare. If I can put two in seires I can modify the charging station to connect to my ICE charger...Any suggestion appreciated.
