A long time ago i saw a output Vs runtime plot comparing 18650 and 2X123 in a U2 and now i cant find it. I remember that the U2 on 18650 had considerably more runtime on high and a flatter output curve. Anyone know where those graphs are?

Cones has some on his review site. I think he made plots for most of the brightness levels, but I think the newer 18650s give 10-20% runtime increase over what his graphs show.

Don't remember the adress to his site, but google will save you ;)

I think the Pilas used here had 1300-1400 mAh capacity. So the best 18650s at 2600 mAh should give up to almost twice those runtimes :)
