I have an old laptop battery pack which I stripped.
I have 8 or so 18650's which appear to be in good condition and have taken a charge no problem. I assume they will be unprotected cells as these packs usually only have one protection circuit for the whole pack.
I have the SF L4 Lumamax but the tube is too small for an 18650 and only fits 17670's.
I have looked at some of the multiple (2x and 4x) lights from Fenix, Quark and Eagletac.
I dont want to get one of these 18650 compatible lights and then find that a better one is about to come out e.g. the Maelstrom from 4 Sevens.
Some of them wont fit an 18650 as standard and need a different tube.
Ideally I would like a light that can run either an 18650 or 2xCR123's using the same tube.
There is no hurry or immediate need it's just having the batteries that's driving me. (Strange how us CPFers minds work!!)
