Not sure if 21700 vs 26650 has been done already, but I'm putting together a sleeper Mag-mod for a friend with an Adventure Sport 5000-lumen Maglite head. Matt's builds usually have two 26650's. Illumn and Mtnelectronics are my go-to. I don't see KeepPower button-top 26650's in stock but there are flat-top 26650's and button-top 21700's. Not sure if the EWA (EVVA?) is of similar quality.
1) Can I use two flattop 26650's in series and have them make contact? Might be too close to call
2) Would two button-top 21700's give similar safe and reliable power? There's button-top 21700 KeepPower's also at 6000mah
3) Should I insist on finding button-top 26650's? Is there a decent brand of button-top 26650's?
Any overall tips for running these modules with respect to powering? Normally I'd recommend that yes there are plenty of better lights for the money, but a friend inherited a special Maglite and really wants to hook it up, so I'm taking care of him.
