I recently picked up a Coleman Max CR2 light from B/S/T forum. It is quite bright and has a very nice creamy beam, especially for a Cree. I wanted to try a rechargeable solution. The entire LE just slides out the end after you unscrew the bezel. No glue, nothing. So I glued a small magnet to the pills + contact and put a freshly charged 14500 in and wala, works great. You could probly do a solder blob as well. The battery is a bit loose but works fine as is. I'm going to find a cheap shim solution for that as well. I'll do a runtime test on it soon, if I can get 60 minutes that'll be great. Got 20 of the magnets off Ebay for like $2.99 and I had the cell already. The light has a forward clicky too, I like it alot. 
Edit: I cut a strip of paper about the same length as the battery and put 4-5 wraps around it. The paper stays in the tube and the cell slides in easily with little rattle as well.
