Hi,
I am toying with buying one of two Streamlight flashlights - either an Ultra Stinger or an SL-20X LED. Both seem to use a 5 cell, sub C NiCd pack, which is what I am after, along with an all Al body. Right now, think I prefer the SL-20X LED model for modding reasons.
I am mostly buying it as a host / mule, so the "as is" performance of one over the other is not a big consideration. Mostly I am just curious about the battery pack details:
- Is it the same pack? There are enough Streamlight lights with similar enough model numbers that I am not entirely sure, and they are clearly different lights.
- Does anyone have a picture of the ends of the pack? I am trying to figure out if this is the pack with both positive / negative on one end, or just a long, button top pack?
- Are there any reasons / complications that would deter me from just charging this pack on my Triton II?
- I buy some NiMH 5,000 MAH packs for r/c from these guys, and wondered if I can use the same cell for packs, or if it will be too large?

The cell is the ELITE5000SC, which is 23.11 mm dia, before being wrapped up for a pack.
Of course I would rather put AW's safe Li cells in one, but that does not seem be possible.
Thanks for any advice / comments.
