Which cells will provide the best runtime for my Seraph SP-9 with Seraph P7

Hi guys,

Initially i planned to use it with 3 AW RC123s... Or maybe buy an extender to fit 4 RC123s...

Are there any better suggestions?

Thanks

1x extender and 2x18650 will be a nice setup.
Thats my intention when I get my missing adapter

That means should i get the one with the 2200mAH or 2600mAH?

I don understand the calculation of it.. haha

Btw, the output will be the same right?

Brightness is regulated to the same level.

Calculate the overall power the cells can give by multiplying the voltage with the mA to give you watt hours.

It will give you a rough feel so using nominal 3.7V per cell ....

800mAh cells (16340) x 14.8v (4 cells) = 11840W hours
2200mA cells (18650) x 7.4v (2 cells) = 16280W hours

If you can find reliable 2600mAh then its even better.
I use the Solarforce protected 18650 and I'm very happy with them.

Hmm, i can get AW18650 at 2600mAH here in malaysia..

Sorry for my absent mindedness, but how do i determine the duration of the runtime with watt hours?

Im really blur with the calculation haha

2x18500 or 2x18650 will be MUCH better than either 3xRCR123 or 4xRCR123.

Ok then, I have already ordered the Sp-9 host with an extender.

So i guess I will get eagletac's 18650 rated at 2400mAh... Thanks for the help shark_za and Outdoors Fanatic.

I think better to get AW18650 2600mAH or AW18500 if you don't want to use the extender. AW batteries are the best available in the world.... and most expensive too.

I use two 18500's in mine. Works great. No extender needed like 18650's.

What is the runtime like?

Cause 2x18650 ~ 90 mins

BTW, i already bought the extender

4xRCR123 will kill your P7 head - too much voltage

they are cheaper than the first set of pila 168s i bought ($45 aud each)

Haha, after reading all your opinions...

I think im going with 2x Eagletac's 18650 rated at 2400mAh...

I can get it here form a local dealer for about USD10 each..

Oh ya, I just noticed that! But I can the AW18659, 2600mAh (flat head) fit the SP-9 with the extender?
