I recently put together a Mag 623. I deviated from the traditional build a little and I ended up with a great light.
Here is a little info and a few pics of the project.
Overview of the build.
The battery is a 4s 1320mAh 15c lipo. I am an Rc
Lipo's are easily damaged by over discharging and can and can suffer huge performance losses or even death by simply running them below 3v. per cell. Due to the fact that the 623 bulb is still very bright at 12 volts, I knew I couldn't visually tell when the battery was discharged, so I built a simple circuit that will set off an audible alarm when the voltage drops to 12 volts.
Here is a pic of the low voltage alarm. It is attached to the switch side of the wiring.

The battery is a 4s 1320mAh 15c lipo. I am an Rc
airplane pilot, so I have tons of these laying around. This particular cell will fit a stock d mag body if stacked 2 high. I tore apart two 2s packs and re-built them into a 2x2, 4s stick with a balance plug and wrapped them in kapton tape. The resulting pack is a perfect fit in a 2d mag body. Lipo's are very volatile and need to be treated with great care. They cant be abused physically or charged incorrectly. Doing so could end in severe physical, or property damage. Please do your home work if you are going to use these cells..
