Ok , 2 x 18650 Trustfire 2500mA Batts
Pill is - 3v to 8.4v 5 Mode
Hi - o.45mA
Med - o.20mA
Lo - o.o5mA
So we should see 4 Hours + on high
10 Hours + on Medium and some serious time on Lo maybe 40 Hours + ....

Thank you for this information. It was what I asked in another thread and I found the answer here.

Your welcome ... Im really liking the Long , in fact I like all the L2's .
But the long looks like the bomb for run time and usable light .

Yeah I just got a L2-R2M with the extra 18650 extension. It's nice to have the extra power when I feel like I need it. I'm quickly loving this light! :thumbsup:

What are your guys' opinion on 2x18500?

I've only had the light for a few days and since I carry it in my jacket pocket I use only one 18650. That being said, when I've tried it with the extension, the light feels even more solid. If I'm in a situation where I would be using the light for hours on end, I'd use the extension for sure.

I'm a fan of the 2x18650 size light. The L2 extended does feel very comfortable in hand, maybe even more so than the single cell. I find the extra length provides extra grip.

From the standpoint of energy density, the 18500 loses out considerably to to the 18650.
I like it. Many P60 drop ins are not very bright on a single LiIon. So for those of us who like rechargeable need to run LiIon batteries in pairs to get max brightness. For me 2 x18650 is just too big. 2 x R123 often produces very short runtime. IMHO 2 x 18500 is a good balance between size and decent runtime on high.

Not sure about all drop-ins, but with mine on one cell it will begin to fade after an amount of time, 2 x Li-Ion seems to stay in regulation right up til the Li-Ion low voltage protection kicks in. Also, by using 2 in series, the current is reduced and I^2*R losses should be less possibly making an efficiency improvement.
