6/28: This offer is now closed. Thank you for ordering.

The VIP AA body is hereby offered.

The VIP AA body is used with 2xAA NiMH batteries in place of the stock 1x123 body. It provides a roughly 10% brightness increase and an increase in runtime (based on the capacity of the AA NiMH batteries chosen), not to mention the capability of recharging your VIP. It was discussed in this CPF thread.

The AA body will be machined from aluminum, maintaining the overall finned and knurled look of the stock VIP body. All external aluminum surfaces will be hard anodized, type III, in black to match the VIP. Each body will be supplied with two endcaps to retain batteries when not in use.

Price: US$35 in advance, shipped CONUS. See below for additional fees based on payment method and foreign shipping.

Payment Methods
<font color="blue">PayPal backed by credit card:</font> Please send payment to [email protected] adding US$1.35 to cover PayPal fees.
<font color="blue">PayPal backed by bank account:</font> Please send payment to [email protected]. Any credit card-backed payments sent here will be returned.
<font color="blue">Other:</font> Other forms of payment (money order and personal check) are fine, but must clear before I ship. Please email me at [email protected] with your order information including shipping address, and I will send you my mailing address.

Foreign orders: Please add US$7.00 for shipping to Canada and Mexico or US$8.00 for foreign shipping to any other country.

Notice: I am estimating that it will take up to 6 weeks for you to receive your AA body once this offer is closed. I can offer no guarantee as to the durability or suitability of this component for any particular purpose other than that it will operate as described with the VIP.

The VIP will not run right with alkalines. The AA body (preferred by myself as well to an adapter, nearly the same cost) was designed to extend run times using nimhs, and possibly lithiums (but with liths cost becomes a definite issue). So instead of just 20-30 minutes on High you'd get a noticeable increase in run time depending on your particular Luxeon3's Vf. And of course on Med and especially Low you might as well put your chargers in storage for occasional use only...

So the Energizer E2 lithiums will work? It sounds like that's an option.
 
Re: The VIP AA Body Offer

Interesting TIN,

I wonder if lithiums would get you more than a 10% boost in brightness, anybody know about this?
