U2 17670

Hello All,
Will the stock U2 take a 17670 cell in the body? i wasn't able to get mine to fit...

Thanks

Did you try to put the battery in the light thru the front end of the light?

The tailend has an indentation which prevents it from going in the back.

Thanks for the reply-
I noticed that indent-I'll have to try that when I get back home.

Thanks again
Max

I had the same problem when I first tried using a rechargeable in my U2 a couple of years ago. A fellow CPF member also pointed out to me that you have to remove the head to insert rechargeables. You may be surprised as I was to find that an 18650 will fit depending on how old your U2 is. Mine was one of the first and did not have the plastic insert that Surefire started putting in them later. While it can easily be removed this still does not guarantee that an 18650 will fit your particular body. However, Lighthound carries the U2 Leef bodies that will accomodate an 18650.

Well, the 17670 fit without hassle-I wonder if there's a purpose to that insert in the back of the tube...I guess i'll have to rethink how I change batteries now! Thanks for all of your help, fella's! :twothumbs
