****UPDATE**** Apparently the pack I received in my officerlite was a prototype that was accidentally sent out with this light. My pack indeed has an LVR in it, but the standard battery carrier has no LVR. In my excitement I shared this in this thread only to find out my pack is not available. I am very sorry to anyone who may have ordered one due to my misinformation. The standard is wired in series and delivers 12V without any circuitry. It is exactly like the one in the Shoppe. Again, my appologies for the misinformation. 
I'm not sure these have been mentioned before here on CPF, but there is an 8AA-2D battery pack that has one of Willie Hunt's LVR3 incorporated in it (read more about the LVR here: http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~willie/lvr.html ). It has the soft start feature, 6V constant output, and flashes when batteries are low. TMK, it has the large FET that can handle up to a 10 Amp load with an input voltage of up to 14V. The cells are in series, so you are limited to AA lithium, alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH unless you rewire it. I've been using eneloops in mine and have successfully powered a Phillips 5761 for 32 minutes. I imagine it would have similar results with the ROP hi. I got about 35 minutes on the MN21. It would probably run about 3 hours on a M*g 5 cell lamp if someone preferred that setup. It would probably be a good host for overdriving some sturdy lower voltage super bulbs, though I haven't experimented with any.
I suppose this won't be exciting to everyone since it is limited to 6V, AA's, batteries have to be removed for charging, and it may require your light to be bored out, but I still think it a nice find. It is made by Lightingpro.org and is the battery stick to their Officerlite flashlight. It can be had for $28 shipped: http://www.lightingpro.org/accessories_parts.php Do not confuse this with their Powerstik, which is only regulated at 3.6V and uses a less robust LVR. Just thought some of you may like to know.
