I'm in for three. How'd you find those? I must know.

Mr bulk...12
Spud.......6
Minjin.....2
Tob9595....4
Slick.....15
Lambda....25
Sunspot....3
Revolver...6
Lemlux....10 for sure
83 for sures,
101 if Mr. Bulk will ship to singapore (10 for Saint Tanic and 10 for Lucien)
7 more to go.... though I am sure we could take up those 7 real quick if need be.
Edit: Well, if Mr. Bulk will ship to singapore we will have the 100 for sure since lemlux just confirmed 10 and will go up to 20.
Oh, and make mine 6, never know if I might want to do mods for people around here.

MrBulk,
Alright!
Excellent find! I've searched every web site on the earth (I thought) for such a battery holder.

Well, since everybody seems to be posting right now, it seems we have the 100 apparently. That is, if Mr. Bulk will ship the 20 to singapore

Re: New 6AA Holders -- THEY\'RE HERE
I'm in for 2 if someone can provide me with newbie instructions for dropping this into a normal 2D maglite with + at the top and - at the bottom...
Email me or PM me to let me know where to PayPal the money to if the instructions can be simplified enough.

Well nobody has any but Mr. Bulk yet, so only he can tell you right now for SURE, but I bet within 10 or 15 minutes of me getting mine I will have figured out an easy way to do it. I can borrow a digital camera probably so could even put up some pics.

On a little different note, is there any way to
fabricate your own plastic parts?
Epoxy, hot-glue and silicon (caulk) only goes so far.

Re: New 6AA Holders -- THEY\'RE HERE
Okay, I just went ahead and ordered 100 of these based on the response, and even if some people fall through (ALways a possibility given human nature) I can keep a few more since this part provides the versatility to do many things and not have to use resistors, etc., to dial in the various voltages we need, especially using dummy AAs. Consider this the CPF Modular Battery Pack...
When parts are ready they will ship UPS to me and when I receive it I will let everyone know the final cost per unit, you can then add postage back out to you.
I will use Priority Mail (usually 2-3 days delivery time), $3.85 per pound, which given the almost nonexistent weight of these things should be more than enough, even for Lambda's 25.

Well, it took a little longer than 10 or 15 minutes to actually do it, but here is the battery pack all done and ready to drop in:
Note the curled up corner of one of the aluminum plates to form the anode contact. And the edge of the other plate was bent down tightly onto the stripped wire end to make contact on the negative end since you cannot solder to aluminum (note faint ring mark where Maglite's endcap spring made contact during testing). The only solder joint was the opposite end of the wire onto the negative output lead of the pack.
Saint Tanic -- again? Uh, and how many were you taking again? Would it be worth the $11.85 shipping (plus whatever duty fees you might incur)?
