That driver is meant for 2x Li-ion, it's possible to run it in Mag 1C with either 2xRCR123(16340) or 2x18350 li-ion (18350 is only available unprotected, ebay or Kain domain), the run time will be short.

Thus, run them in Mag 2C makes more sense.

As for Mag 1D, it's possible to get a 1.25D host Dual Bored for 2x18650,
but wiring 2x18650 in series is very hard to do, It can be done & I've only seen one post that did this from a few years ago but it's not for beginners.

Again, this point to Mag 2C being the most practical approach, which is almost same length as Mag 1.25D anyways.

You can fit 2 18650s cells in a 2C M@G, just do the "tailcap de-anodizing" trick & use a lightweight cut-down spring + move the switch ahead ~ 1/8". You'll have just enough space for 2x 18650 unprotected cells.

You can run those drivers in parallel to 1.6A but you also need a heatsink. Look in the Modified Marketplace for them.
 
To run a single rechargeable li-ion cell you need to use either an AMC7135
based board (cheap) from Shiningbeam or a GD board from the Sandwich
Shoppe
