Would it be possiable to run 3 Cree MC-E from 2 AW C Lio-ion batteries.
Using 3 MC-E ?

Assuming you are running the batteries in series you get 7.2V 3.3AH.
To run 3 MCE you need to wire each MCE 2S2P then the LEDs in parallel. That would run 7.2V ~4.2A.
Alternatively you can use 3*2.8A buck circuit boards, 1 per MCE. They would convert 7.2V 4.2A to 3.6V 8.4A. As M@g switches can not take more than ~5A make sure the boards are on the LED side of the switch.
My gut feel is to run 2 MCEs in series with 2 Li-ons;
or 3 MCEs in series with 3 Li-ons.
A 3C mag is not that much bigger than a 2C. Note both have AW's extension tube.
