Do what? Patent that? Start offering conversions?
Just the thought of that is nearly evil genius...

How much brighter did that make it? Did you have to widen the body of the Infinity? What about the extra length? What did you put in the body to make sure the battery made contact at both ends?
Tell us!
Or, are you just teasing us by showing us how close it is? I just whipped out my Infinity and a 3v Lithium and no dice....it gets stuck on the threads

Oh, I forgot to say that someone should do something by making another body for it.
The battery will have to be loaded from the back, since it can't fit past the threads. Perhaps a similar idea done by another member
where the lanyard post also acts as a momentary on switch?
Brightness is comparable with an Arc/Photon.
This will surely run down those "dead" 123's even more than an Arc LS.

Well, umm.. notice the background for the photos. They are my study notes..

Nope. I have been using the Saft 3.6v cell and haven't had a problem yet. It is about as bright as the Arc AAA when you drive it with a 123, and a bit brighter with the SAFT 3.6v It should run a really long time on a 123.

Yclo,
It seems that you have to study the same things for math as I have to study!
How old are you? (I'm 17)

Ok, how did you get it to load from the back? My Infinity is all one piece except for the LED/head end that unscrews. I'm confused!

Isn't there an AA-sized lithium with around 3 volts? Or am I delusional here?
Brock,
So you have a battery that will slide past the threads? If so, perhaps by boring out the threads a bit, leaving just the root of the internal thread to catch, a typical 123 will pass? If this is the case, a simple re-configured holder could be made to fit the infinity head. Keep the opperation simple as in with the original. I don't have one of those lights or I'd give it a look see.

But it might not be a Lithium. As long as we are talking about a brighter Infinity, any news on the alleged Ultra?

I thought all those equations in the background was the formula you used to figure out how to put the 123 battery in that

Wim,
I'm 21, into my 4th year of University life. Those equations are from a subject called Fluid Mechanics.

So, has anyone tried a 3.6v AA in the Infinity? Did it make it brighter (I would hope so). Did it noticeably shorten the LED life?

I use a 3.6V lithium in a red Infinity and find it to be considerably brighter, but I'm partially red/green color blind and can't see as much with red as others can. Brock used one in a white Infinity and found it to be brighter than an ARC AAA.

Yup, I use a white with the 3.6v all the time (on my second battery now) and haven't had any problems yet. I'm not sure if I am just lucky or if the step-up is ok with that voltage.

mmm...yummy.
Looks like I'll have to get a couple of those to breathe some life into my white Infinity since it's so easily out shined by my O4 and my Solitaire mod.
