Hi all!

I'm new on this forum, so bear over with me.

I've just got my Dereelight DBS V3 with the following setup:
* XR-E R2
* Smooth reflector
* 3SM
* Extender for using 2 * 18650
* 2 x AW P18650-31 protected cells
* Asperical Lens
* Cytac Dual Bay Fast Charger 139 from 4sevens

This setup is based on my basic skills in flashlighting, but have a few questions though.

On this forum, the 4sevens Single-Bay Smart Charger gets a lot of attention. What is the difference in quality and charging schemes of the one that I got, and the Smart Charger?
I wants the best for my expensive AW's but will also be able to charge the protected UltraFire 18650's from DX in a same manner.
Do I have to only run protected cells in the DBS or does it have built-in protection from overheating and overdischarging?

Next up, I'd like to make the DBS a powerfull light with a lot of perfect spill. I'm planning this setup:
* XM-L T6 (Neutral Wam White), 3SM pill from Dereelight
* OP reflector
* Existing 2 x AW 18650 cells with the extender.

Will this small light be able to handle the heat over eg. half an hour on high?
Do I need some other cells to be able to run the XM-L T6 2.5A?
Which cells will give me the highest output and longest runtime on high?

I appreciate all good answers! Thanks in advance.
 
so much simple self-expanatory questiins...

Will this small light be able to handle the heat over eg. half an hour on high?

Easily...It may seem small but look ta the heatsinking of the pill..all this reflector reflector mass...

Do I need some other cells to be able to run the XM-L T6 2.5A?

nope! Do not foget that the electronics will be drawing less current form the cells tahn they will be feeding the LED. (it is a buck driver)

Which cells will give me the highest output and longest runtime on high?

Assuming quality cells anyone will. Regarding runtime you cannot go further than the AW18650-31 batts you have.
