The larger sized bezels that had been purchased for the HDS lights fit the NovaTac EDC perfectly as well.

Yes. Bezels and battery tubes are interchangeable. Some people are having trouble getting the Novatac bezels off, though.Do the ti bezels fit.
Do the ti bezels fit.

turbodog already did, see this thread: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/171813It will be a brave man who first drills those holes to take the old clips.
Howdy Stuart, while I'm certainly no expert in this area, I was under the impression that the HDS battery tubes pose no danger in themselves, but that it was important to make sure that only batteries with a total voltage of 4.5volts or less should be inserted into them when being used with the Novatac lights, which can accept 1.8-4.5 volts according to published specs..Just for info... and for the benefit of anyone that has not already encountered this issue...
The 2X 123 HDS battery tube and quite possibly the 18650 battery tubes should NOT be used with the NovaTac lights. Apparently the extended HDS battery tubes will submit more than the 4.5 volts acceptable for the NovaTac lights.

If anyone has information to the contrary or just what negative reaction would occur with prolonged use of an extended tube for the NovaTac, please let us know.
Best regards,

Yes, thats the way I understand it too. A Lithium Ion has a fully charged voltage of 4.2v(RCR123,14500,17670,18650...)the difference being the Mah rating,the bigger the number the longer the runtimes. The thing is if they go by the logic that you can't make an 18650 tube because someone will put 2 RCR123's in it, then you can't make a 2 AA tube because someone might put 2 14500's in it.:shakeheadHowdy Stuart, while I'm certainly no expert in this area, I was under the impression that the HDS battery tubes pose no danger in themselves, but that it was important to make sure that only batteries with a total voltage of 4.5volts or less should be inserted into them when being used with the Novatac lights, which can accept 1.8-4.5 volts according to published specs..
So, I think a 17670 (?) cell fits the 2x123 tube, and since it should present a 3.7-4.2 voltage, it should work fine with the Novatac..... and as far as I know, most 18650 cells are 3.7-4.2 volts also... so again, they should pose no problems when used singly with an HDS 18650 tube... as I believe the Novatac is actually rated up to 4.5 volts.. so a nice extra measure of headroom to boot.
The problem with using the 2x123 tube, of course, is that one might forget and inadvertently put in two CR123 or RCR123 cells (6 V and 7.4-8.4 V total respectively).... which is probably why Novatac won't be offering that type of tube.
Anyway, I could easily be wrong about this, but those were my impressions from reading lots of threads here on CPF.
