Hi all, I posted something similar (but more general) in the Homemade section but since most of my parts seem to come from here I guess I'll ask here (and I'm a little more familiar with the converter boards available here too). While sticking to NiMH cells, are there any other options for my 2C mag than a luxeon I/III with a badboy/madmax board? Or is that pretty much the best I can get if I want to keep the 2C and stick with NiMH cells? Thanks!!
EDIT: Ok, I've done a bit of research, and it looks like I'll either go with a BadBoy step-up regulator and 2xNiMH (using AA to C adapters so about 2400mAh) with a Luxeon 3 or 2x18500 LiIon cells (also using the adapters at about 1400mAh) for a Lux V with a downboy. Which would be better (in terms of runtime and brightness)... does the 1400mAh capactiy of the 18500 cells inhibit the potential at all? Also, does anybody know good places to get 18500 cells? I've only seen slavin4u.com and batteryspace.com. Thanks!!
