I'm modding a Maglite 6D to use an automotive HID light source. I'm pretty much done, the HID convertor is installed inside, the HID lamp is in the Maglite hood. I would need roughly 12 - 16 Volts of power source. Any tips on using affordable Lithium batteries inside a standard Maglite tube ? The standard 18650 Lithium cells commonly found in laptop batteries do not fit in in pairs. Would prefer to use 4x 3.7 Volt cells. Arno

What's the wattage of your HID kit? You may need to go with IMR 26500's in order to supply enough current.
