Fenix P3D clip

[jeremyison05]

Well, first of all Hi every one. I just bought my first (but not the last) high quality flashlight. My 3PD CE should be here in a few days, and the only thing I don't like about it is there is no clip on it. Can any one point me toward a good after-market clip or someone that could make me one? Also a few suggestions on the best rechargeables to use in the P3D.

I bought a Ultrafire 3.0/3.6v charger and 4 MP brand 700mAh Unprotected 3.6v batteries from Lighthound with my light.

One more question. What does the mAh rating on batteries mean?


Thanks guys

mAh - milli amp hour. The more mAh on the battery the higher amount of energy it has. P.S. I am waiting for my P3Dn too. Its in the mail but it has not reached here yet...BTW welcome to CPF

Jeremy,

Welcome to CPF. You have a nice light on the way.

As to rechargeable cells, it is generally not a good idea to run 2 unprotected cells in sequence. Lots of threads on this if you do a search. Instead, go with 2 protected RCR123As.

You might want to check out AW's batteries: http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=140362

AW is one of the very best vendors on CPF, a great guy with great product. His cells are also sold by Lighthound.com, whose John C. is another of CPF's very best: http://www.lighthound.com/

Good luck and enjoy your P3D CE.

I thought there was issues with running more than one protected cells in sequence. Something about one discharging faster than the other one and tripping the safety circuit? Thanks for the replies

AFAAustin, thanks for the info on the batteries. I've had my P3D for 2 weeks now and am amazed by it's brightness!! I'll check into the RCR123A's!!

Heh, poor guy. Noone actually answered the initial question.

I too, have a P3DCE on the way, and would love a clip for it. If noone has any ideas, I'll see what I can fabricate out of some old bandsaw material in our machine shop sometime this week if I get a chance.

Gotta wait for the lite to arrive first, though, of course

Someone had a photo of a P3 with a clip on it. If I remember correctly, they said they took it off a River Rock AA light from Target.

Thanks for the lead, ill look into it

The clips that come in the Mag accessory pack also fits the Fenix.

The protected 123s mentioned will probably not fit your light, but I may be wrong. Check into it first.

I'll stick with the unprotected cells for now. From what I've read as long as I charge both of them fully there shouldn't be an issue.

Instead of clips, why not a 'Nite Ize Grip and Clip' link http://www.niteize.com/productdetail.php?category_id=28&product_id=71 I took the one I use with my Mag 2AA, and the P3D is no longer slippery when wet!
