Two packs of 123's?

[flash_bang]

I was thinking it would be easier/quicker to load/replace batts if they were shrinkwrapped into two battery packages, similar to the way to get it if you order titanium cells (or that's what flashlightreviews.com said). Any idea if I can get this type of stuff at my local ace hardware or lowes and if it's a good idea or something.

have a good one, I await your replies,

I think the shrink wrap would add to much to the battery packs and would not fit in the flashlight. Maybe it would work if a 18650 can fit in the flashlight.

 

[flash_bang]

are you referring to the resulting diameter of the batteries and the shrinkwrap? As long as I get the type of wrap that's a tad thicker than the type on cd cases, then I think it might fit. any more ideas?

Most flashlights don't giv emuch wiggle room, so you would need film thin wrap, if you really want you can, but you won't miss the time difference much, battery loading takes usually under 1 minute regardless of the number of cells, 1-4.

Interesting idea. Can you get thin enough shrink-tubing? It would be a good way of making sure you had sets of matched cells.

You might try teflon plumbing tape - super thin and fairly strong. If done right it might work.

Plumbing tape wouldn't work very well I don't think.

You can buy them this way. From amondotech.

@ Illum: what did you mean by read, then post? I already knew that they sold batteries like that.

btw, I ended up just taping my batteries into twos a couple minutes ago. I was working on a car with my uncle and we needed a light, I wanted to get a new set of batts, and it took me WAY too long to change them. They've been tested (they all lit up my G2) and I got the surefires at the same time as the nuons, so I know everything's matched. Not much else to report, besides my uncle commented on how bright it was, man I was giddy!
Thanks a ton!

I just ordered 4 of the 2 packs from amondotech and what I got was two four packs of individual batteries. Not sure what happened there...

 

[flash_bang]

@ DTrain: Whoah! that's interesting! so two boxes of four batts each? That's weird! If I were you I'd just use scotch tape and tape 'em together, that's what I did!

Have a good one,

[DTrain]

not even boxes. just 4 batteries shrink wrapped right next to each other. not end to end.

that is very strange! What are you gonna do with a brick of 123's? :thinks of making a house:
