Time is something that I don't have much of but I have been rebuilding some old 10x lights to a much higher spec 2700mAh battery spec...
these cells are a direct replacement for the old nicad cells that were around 1900mAh
The results have been brilliant.
The cells are A size high drain high quality
This is not like the AA Eneloop conversions that don't fit the light properly and don't give the momentary function... run time seems to be well over 35 min with the 120 and 500 lm lamps in
I am going to add pics to this thread amd build on it when I have the time so bare with me!
don't forget these lights were a very high spec $400++ light when they came out and the dual beams are something rare in the flashlight world
Results are also fantastic with the new lumens factory led dropins they have started selling for a first turnkey led option.
I have also been rebuilding the recharging cradles with deltaV 6s nimh battery chargers 5v usb. I even managed to use the original surefire old school cables with the push fit connectors!.
as I said I will be updating this thread to show what's gone in to this. hope a few will be interested in what is a really well built cutting edge light (of its day)
What your left with it a daily user that can be left on charge (cuts off so no overcharge) and ready to bring back into service
If I have time I might be offering a few for sale but not sure as of yet
I also have original boxes and accessories that are still in original surefire unopened packaging
