The SF M6-R: a regulated rechargeable SF M6 (HOLA)

Re: The SF M6-R: a regulated rechargeable SF M6 (H

js,

What are the dimensions on the pack and regulator combo?

Might this be used in another body with another bulb?

I would be interested if the final cost is not too high for the cell pack with charger. And I am not too late.

After brightnorm's review, you have my interest. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Bill, what did you have in mind? I would suggest that if you can avoid it, do NOT integrate the battery pack with the regulator. It's an extra level of hastle. Anyway, as for the dimensions, they are something like a little less than 3.6" long and 1.44" in diameter (for the circle which encompases the rounded triangular shape of the pack). Plus, the output is set to 6.8 volts and cannot be changed, so that limits things a bit. Of course, you can order an LVR set to whatever voltage you want (within reason).

Larry, I'm honored by your interest. BN's review was an eye-catcher, wasn't it.

Topper, you're not too late. You're early. I will be opening a B/S/T signup thread sometime in Jan or Feb of 2005. Worst case, cost will be $110 for the pack and $75 for the charger (or $10 for the cable only if you already have a stand alone charger).

I just want to state that I think this is a great idea and build!!! It just isn't right that the poor A2 stands alone and lonely! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif The addition of rechargeable cells really makes good sense for a lamp that is not shy when it comes to power consumption! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif (Not that my opinion means diddly squat but it's free and I wanted to state it! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif )

Don,

I admire you, I admire your work, and I am very happy to hear your opinion on ANY subject and most especially on this one. It means a lot more than diddly squat to me! Thanks for weighing in.

(Oh, sorry Don. Right. Nothing serious--keep it light. got it.)

Re: The SF M6-R: a regulated rechargeable SF M6 (H

I don't own an M6 because of the "no rechargable" option. The battery cost would eat me alive. I do own a 10X because I get 500 lumens guilt free. If this project/product works out I would be most likely in for two battery packs and a charger. I'd better start pricing M6's!
Now we need someone on this forum to step up to the plate and provide discounted M6's.

I hear that! From what I can tell, it's a no-can-do scenario. SF is pretty strict on selling below list. hmmm. I wonder, though. What if I actually DROVE to a brick and mortar store to try to negotiate a group buy of SF M6's? Can B&M stores sell for less than list? Anyone who knows, PM me, please. (This is probably not the place to be discussing this, I'm guessing).

Put me on the list for the pack with a way to hook it up to a Triton charger.
Excellent work!

Better warm up that iron, Jim. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yeah. You're not kidding! But I couldn't be any worse than the last TL build run, could it? ah heh he he (nervous laughter).

Everyone who has expressed interest, THANK YOU. I've got you on my list. No worries. Everyone who wants an M6-R kit will be able to get one.

Re: The SF M6-R: a regulated rechargeable SF M6 (H

Count me in for one pack with hook up to a Triton charger as well. Finally, I can use this flashlight more and get the max brightness for the battery run, not to mention the cost savings on being able to recharge! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif

Great work!

Re: The SF M6-R: a regulated rechargeable SF M6 (H

Jim,

Great work. I guess I'll just have to get an M6 now -- no excuses not to.

I would be in for the pack and cable. I believe my Maha C777 Plus-II will handle charging. (If anyone thinks not, I'd like to know.)

I'm looking forward to hearing more as testing continues. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

newbie here, been looking at M6s, put me on the list if there's still time.

Re: The SF M6-R: a regulated rechargeable SF M6 (H

I'm interested. I always wanted a M6 now is a good excuse. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
