Help with battery selection for my surefires

[waumpuscat]

I have been out of the loop for several months and have 4 lights that I need batteries for. I have come to realize that a lot has changed since I was on the forum regularly. My searches are making me crazy. Please help with suggestions for the following:

KL4, KL1(has the two battery body), KL3, and a stock M3 I bought a few years ago. I am worn out with trying to figure out what batteries I need. I would like to feed all lights the same battery and have a good compromise between brightness and run time. AW was kind enough to send me his price list, but I don't know what I need to have just an all around diversified battery. Should I go to rechargeables(these weren't even around when I bought these lights)? Or, just buy several regular batteries. The lights above are two 3 battery lights(KL3 and M3) and two 2 battery lights(KL4 and KL 1) Sorry for the long post but I know you guys know a lot better than I on all of this.

I'm not as familiar with the SF LED conversion heads... so someone will have to confirm this.

but you can probably run the KL1 and KL4 on a single 3.7V li-ion cell... which body are they on? I think the E2E will fit a 17670 cell, if not, a 14670 cell would fit for sure...

The KL3 should run on 2 17500s in the 3 cell body without a problem.

The stock M3 (I am assuming non-turbo incandecent?) has a lot of options. check my configuration compatibility chart for more info... the link is in my sig... worth reading the guide to get brushed up on the world of li-ion cells and what we are doing with them around here.
