I love my T5. I'd like to use it for longer. Does anyone make a 18650 (or 17670) body for it?

I am guessing that it would give a runtime of 2 hours plus which would really be great.

Thanks in advance.

Guess I'd have to second that for a 17670..)

Have you contacted Kevin to let him know there would be takers. :thumbsup:

Edit: the T5 is set up to run on 3.0V,...

People have been frying the LEs in their T5s pretty quickly using just R123s. The light was not designed for 3.0V, not 4.2V. If you used a 17670 or 18650 there would be less voltage sag with these more powerful cells and the LE would be likely to burn out even more quickly.
