I think only 2 of the 2 x LR44 button cell Baltic bodies were made- I would be happy even with a raw non annodized aluminum one.
Anyone else? The new XPG might be able to handle a 3 cell body @ 1.5v each.

i like that LR44 body with the lanyard hole. SS #0 would be perfect.
would be great as a zipper pull light or necklace.
 
I'd definitely take a few of those!!! :bumpit: :bow:
I've tried to get "normal" button cells into my 10180-Eigers a few times allready (with no big success)... :grin2:

Albeit I'd prefere a somewhat higher brightness level, say #1 or #2 (which should be well possible with those batteries).
 
2xLR44 - 1/3N, no? I've a bunch of those and would...

The Eiger has a smaller head, LR44 is 11-12mm, a bit fatter than the 10108/280/AA tube on the Eiger.
Housing of LR44 would require fatter body & may not look natual on the smaller Eiger head.

Yes, 2xLR44 is same size a 1/3 N.

Here is my example of an "LR44" Body, a peak Baltic N Cell cut-down to "2xLR44" size, only 1.5" long.
Runs on CR 1/3N, a Tiny 3V Lithium Primary cell:

The light is shorter than Eiger 10180 but the 1/3 N cell has ~2x capacity (160mAH vs 10180 90mAH)
However, it's primary, so can't be re-charged.
