18mm FiveMega BODIES all 5 sizes! 18650x2, 18650x1, 18500x2, 18500x1 and 16340x1(3P)
Those of you who missed out on the last sale now is your chance!

These 16340, 18650, 2x18500 (pic above) and 2x18650 (above) bodies are for $urefire C head and C tailcap.
the 3P also known as 1x16340, SF C head and tail.

These bodies are CNC machined from high quality solid aluminum bar and aggresive knurling with 19mm bore to accept all 18500 and 18650 cells while outside diameter is same size as 9P shown in picture.
All bodies are black hard anodized with 2 o'rings (one at each side) and ready to use.
These Are FiveMega bodies in every sense. Designed and built to his High quality specs. Utilizing the very same metal shop. Proudly Made in the USA.
These bodies are specifically made to house Stock SF and LF Lamps and FiveMegas custom FM-D26 Bi-Pin socket/Reflectors (found here), and this new G4 D26 SUNLIGHT for $urefire and to use AWs new protected cells. they will also use 17mm Rechargeable and disposable cells as well. There is now extra room for those big LED drop-ins. These are built to fit AW's New Protected button top cells:thumbsup:and based on reviews, have plenty of room to spare for off brand cells as well.:poof: (good luck)
This is the case for all 5 sizes.

All single cell sizes are now available in round, or with SF style flats milled into the sides like previous FM bodies.

IMHO: If you want to use a FM D26 drop in do it in a FiveMega body, you wont need steel washers (needed on my LEEF body) or have any contact problems. There is plenty of room for long springs, button tops and protection circuits. No more crushed springs. Prices are low!

(Head, lamp assembly, tail cap and batteries are not included or available here.)

Advantage of 18mm cells are longer run time, less frequent recharge, less stress to cells, longer cell life and higher current capability compare to 17mm cells while you don't have to carry an oversized and heavy flashlight.

*First come First served.. reservations will be filled in order made, (after that then in Order of Payment)*.

For AWs new IMR16340 cells, a TiNY 3P single cell is being offered at very slim profit. the 1x16340 is a "SF 3P" it will hold AW 16340 LiMn or Li-Ion RCR123 sized cells.

He is doing me a favor, as you know I make no Money on this Labor of Love. :kiss:He Knows nothing about illumination tools and thinks I am crazy to want this stuff so bad. He thinks many are nuts :wave: to have spent so much on this hobby. He is just an investor/attorney. Please Do not try to contact me through him. His time is worth hundreds an hour which I cannot afford. He has someone to ship this for us.:twothumbs

PAYPAL: WonderLite(at)aol.com

In PayPal notes put your CPF handle, What you are buying. Your name and address should come through automatically.

Dont worry FiveMega is backing the run. A portion of your money will be donated to FM.

UPDATE: want a 6P/9P (metal and glass, anti-roll) SF head and a SF-Z-59 tail also for a complete head tail body? (still, no bulbs, or cells) add 63$ per pair, no extra shipping costs (I know a guy)

UPDATE: If your going to use a IMR 18650x2 setup I also offer the same head plus a twisty tailcap for less..so 49$ additional for a Head and a twisty 9P tailcap which can survive 2x18650 IMR cells..a Z-59 will burn out in a few seconds if used with 2 big 18650 IMR cells. This is not the case with 16340 IMR

trying to get more Z49s

Z59 + 9P head $68
Z41 + 9P head $49
9P Head alone $24 (Costs more to break up pairs.)
6PD Strike bezels 37$
A New Z-59 Clicky paired with an AW soft Starter (install yourself). 99$ and a Week extra.
A New Z-41 Twisty paired with an AW soft Starter (install yourself). 86$ and a Week extra.

Update: New accessories Available:
-my favorite tail down Holster that fits All these bodies perfectly as it was made to fit SF only $10!
Its easily taken on and off without undoing your belt but will never fall off. Even fits FM bodies with turboheads. The Holster Will Stretch to fit flashlights from AA to D size!

-A New Ultrafire WF-139 Charger $18.50, these new ones seem to work much better than the older identical models.



If you dont want too use a twisty and want a clicky with IMR 18650x2 like the Z59 do that, but add the AW soft Start switch upgrade.

USPS postal money order (mailing address pending)
Please post (or PM if private info) for alternate payment method. Yes I know its always full! so post messages if possible...

I will not be making any money on these personally:broke:...I just want these to be available to fellow CPF members and myself. I have an investor (family friend) who thinks this a good idea, he will profit from this endeavor while I will merely get the satisfaction of knowing you get the parts you need. I am only here to answer questions and let you know how to get these great bodies. Im here for the support of CPF and my hobby..I guess he is in it for the money.:sigh:

My investor has had it setup where all orders will be filled and shipped quickly. Check back here daily until I can finish editing this post.:eek:

In your paypal notes should be all info needed for your order. Then repeat the info in a post here. Then Im able to see whats going on and make a call to the shipper if needed.
The paypal addy is not mine...it has been created for this purpose, the selling of bodies by my investor to you.
No need to send me a PM (its full again?!) although I will FWD it for you. However he has all your order info in your paypal notes section, then copied here. When I see a certain part running out etc, I can try to order more.

ill make some space for PMs if u need.

:wow::caution: these bodies are made for use with both types of Lithium cells.
this warning originally posted by AW:
All lithium based batteries have an max. operating temp. of 60 degree C. You will find the same operating temp. spec. on Emoli, A123, Sanyo, Samsung batteries with LiCo / LiFePO4 / LiMn chemistries. The electrolyte will start to degrade when exceeding the max. operating temp. Reaching higher temperature conditions ( either from external sources or cell discharging / charging ), the liquid electrolyte will expand and pressure will build up inside the cell. When the pressure build up is approaching the safety threshold, the safety valve will disconnect separating the anode / cathode ( cell dies showing 0 Volt ). If the pressure keeps rising, the laser welded vent will open and release gas/electrolyte to prevent an explosion. The common observation you 'll see is leaking of electrolyte when a vent occurs. If it was a mild vent, leaking may come after a day or two.

A safety vent / mechanical thermal protection is a standard feature of all AW branded lithium secondary batteries.

:caution:The IMR cells will not reach above 60 degree C even when discharged @ 8 - 10C by themselves. The heat from outside sources such as lamp, lamp assembly spring contact or flashlight body is something you may have to consider when using them in a high power incan light that will generate tremendous amount of heat. :poof:

In a lab regulated oven test, the safety disconnect triggers at 80 degree C after 3 minutes. The vent opens at 100 degree C after 5 minutes.

The storage temperature range of -20 to 25 degree C ( 40% charged ) is the optimum where you 'll recover 90+% capacity after 1 year of storage. Storing at 40 degree C will get you ~80% capacity after 1 year. At 60 degree C, you 'll get ~70% after 1 year.

Re: RESERVE NOW! FiveMega BODIES all 4 sizes! 18650x2, 18650x1, 18500x2, 1x16340

1x16340 is the same as a 3p right? In other words, a body for a 123a. Would love to see a picture if one exists.

Re: RESERVE NOW! FiveMega BODIES all 4 sizes! 18650x2, 18650x1, 18500x2, 1x16340

Excuse the ignorance but does the 1x16340 use a standard 6P head and tail switch? What LED drop-in options could I use with this and a RCR123?

Nite, will there be plenty of bodies available or will it be a limited run?

Thank you very much. This is going to be a nice little light combo with a Malkoff drop-in.

The angle of the picture made the smaller bodies head look bigger than the 6P.

Can you please elaborate further. Are these Fivemega bodies made by Fivemega himself?

These Are FiveMega bodies built to his High quality specs. The very same metal shop he uses were used to make these.


He is using the same machine shop that FM used to make his bodies. I would assume they are exactly the same.

:thumbsup: For 1x 16340; $30 plus shipping= $35.

Question though; is the 1x 16340 body also 19mm bore like all the other sizes? In other words, will it fit 1x 18350? :twothumbs

Even if it won't, I still want one! :D

I don't have my caliper handy, but I just tried two different brands of 18650 LiMn cells and they fit loosely with a wobble, so I'd imagine it's 19mm.

Nice! For drop-ins that wouldn't benefit from AW's new cells (i.e., low current LEDs), 18350s will give longer runtime. :devil:
