Note to moderators....I initially thought of adding this in one of the ModCod's rechargeable batteries threads but somehow I am not sure if it fits 100%....so you can either leave as is or move/incorporate it in the proper thread

hi all!

the past few weeks I had to suggest rechargable options for the Surefire 6P in another forum and also to some Greek guys...
Today I started preparing a leaflet guide in Greek on the subject and thought of posting the pics in CPF for the benefit of the newer members...

So here is what we start with...

A. Maintaining the 6P format

A1. Using a rechargable 17670 Li-Ion battery and a 3.6 Xenon Bulb or a 3.6V capable LED Module

A2. Using two rechargable RCR/16340 Li-Ion batteries and a 7.4-9V Xenon bulb and an up-to-9V capable LED Module

A3. Using two rechargable LiPO4 batteries (6.4V total) and maintaining the P60 Xenon bulb or using an 6V capable LED Module

sorry no pic, I would appreciate your contribution

B. Converting the 6P to a 9P format with a 1-cell extender

B1. Using two rechargable 17500 Li-Ion batteries and a 7.4-9V Xenon bulb and an up-to-9V capable LED Module

of course you can always go back to 3 primaries with the same bulb/modules

B2. Using three rechargable RCR/16340 Li-Ion batteries and a 12V Xenon bulb (i.e G&P G120) and an up-to-14V capable LED Module

B3. Using two rechargable AA NiMh batteries and a custom 3 volt capable LED module.

Here is a homemade LED module with a DX15880 0.8-3.6V driver...As it can be seen you can use this option with a 17670 battery in a 6P body too!!!

And here is what we may end up with

hope it was of help. All the best, Kostas

Nice guide.

If you want to get really picky, a pair of LiFePO4 cells are 3.2V nominal, so that would be a maximum of 6.4V total.
