Lost an AW "C" Cell Today

[Inliner]

When AW says to be careful about leaving his cells in a hot car he means it. 60C... that's 140F. Never thought it would get that hot in there. At least there was no drama. Just a dead cell. 0V and 51.5K ohms resistance.

Since these cells are NLA, I've got a $200 custom P7 paperweight.

Is it a Mag C host?

If it is reading 0V, maybe that is the protection circuit. That is a very high resistance, too.

Try putting it on the charger for a minute or so and see if that jolts it back to life. It's worth a try.

If it's what I think it is (mag 1c) then there's a chance weather his new IMR 26500's will fit. And then there's always 18500's and PVC.

 

[Inliner]

Yeah. 2C body with some machining by MirageMan and internals by CM. Carried it on duty for about 6 months. Co-workers all love to borrow it. I think I can make a sleeve and try some 18650s... Better than a paperweight. Only one cell died. The light was in direct sunlight under the glass of my hatchback on a 95* day. I was just too lazy to bring it inside last night. STUPID STUPID STUPID

If it is 1C Mag and the rear of the switch has not been modified in a way to cause a problem I see no reason not to use an IMR26500 with the shrinkwrap removed.

 

[Chodes]

Ok, 2C - you'll need another cell.

Or probably light bore to allow IMR26500s to fit.

Its a shame Download no longer sells the MagRing C kit
You could have used a pair or AW 18650 2600mAH cells
instead of the C cells

Is the light a standard length Mag 2C ?
Has the tailcap been bored out ?

You could bore it out and use AW IMR.
