Greetings Everyone,
I was looking at a lantern battery specification sheet recently and noticed that these batteries are approximately 65 mm x 65 mm x 96 mm (not including the terminals). One could easily fill the same space with 15 18650 lithium-ion cells, enabling a 3S5P or a 5S3P configuration. Seems to me that one could make a heck of a flashlight with that kind of power.
I cannot be the first to think of this, but I haven't been able to find any threads on this topic.
I am interested in knowing if anyone has tried this, and what lantern battery lights might lend themselves toward modding.
Cheers,
BG
