I love it with a 10440, truly 10440 compatible. It's not that hard driven (140 lumens if i remember correct), so it wont burn my fingers as fast as the rest of my 10440 driven lights. I use the 3 min shutoff, and just monitor the battery with the 5 clicks now and then.

i love the 3 minute auto-off option. my first mode is the lowest, and with the 3 minute auto-off enabled, i never worry about it accidentally turning on (which i don't think it does, anyway) and running down the battery. i use eneloops in my aluminum (which stays at home) and lithium in my Ku Ti (part of my EDC). and that (3 click) temporary auto-off disable is genius; i use that all the time. most of my usage is only for a handful of seconds, but i just click thrice when i know it's been a couple of minutes and/or when i know it's going to be longer usage of the light. my Ku Ti is still my absolute favorite! perfection.

i recently got into using 18650s and RCR123s using a PILA charger. can the PILA charger work with 10440s? does anyone make a protected 10440?
edit: has anyone used these in the LF2XT? and would they work in a PILA charger?

I dont know, but i dont think so. Im using a old nanocharger buildt for a single 10440. Normal chargers for 18650's etc, seems to be too powerful for the 10440's and might recharge them too fast. I dont charge my 10440's in my wf-139.
There are protected 10440's but they are longer and dont fit many lights too well. I dont need protected ones for my liteflux.

I have always used 10440's in my LF2XT and I charge them with a Nano. I don't know what I am going to do when the Nano fails but I have three of them so there's some hope for the next several years. I use the same Nano for the 10180's needed by my wife's Lummi Wee which are even more critical.

I've always had good luck charging my 10440's with the "Ultrafire 3.6 volt lithium AA or AAA Battery Charger" that Lighthound sells. I don't know what the general consensus of the charger is on the forums here, but there have never been any problems with it in my use. Two bays, can charge 14500 or 10440 in either bay. Cheap, too.

10440 LiIon cell ......... Charging them in an Eneloop charger ?
Wrong chemestry ..... NiMh V/S LiIon ........ should not do it please .
Use Eneloop chargers only with NiMh cells .

From the manual, it says .8V for aaa, and 2.8v for 10440.

Here's what it says in the Operation Manual.
AAA Ni-MH : Low battery warning voltage - 1 V , Over-Discharge protection voltage - 0.8 V .
10440 Li-Ion : Low battery warning voltage - 3 V , Over-Discharge protection voltage - 2.8 V .
I've never used the OD settings (I like the 3 min. timer), so I don't know the accuracy of these numbers.

Turtle , I may very well be wrong - but I thought while the LF2Xt was being bought and discussed years ago .... that the conclusion was both of those features could be used at the same time . But that Auto-Off over-rides and takes priority over ODP. (as explained in Note2 on the FlowChart) .. Later , when I get up , I'll have to go way back , thru the long sessions of part 1 ,2 ,3 , 4 , and 5 ... and try to investigate that .

EDIT: SO far , in my re-reading of many thousands of posts , BabyDoc in "Part3/post76" says.. they can NOT be used together ...
And also this from BabyDoc in Part3/post#457 , further explained.
... but I will continue reading to be sure .

From my recollection in reading through the threads, it is either the ODP or the 3-minute timer, but not both. I'm with Geoff on using the timer instead, because it is so easy to just check the voltage whenever you want.
I remember reading about glitch that made you choose one or the other, but thought someone found a way around it.
As far as the timer goes, it was not working properly on my Natural version...
But perhaps it will work on the Black version that was sitting in my mailbox today
