Is there an EDC that can use all these batteries? CR123/Rcr123/AA/18650 batteries

Even if you have to use dummies or adapter tubes can one light use all these batteries?

Quark.

I have a Solarforce L2 with low voltage drop in(.8-4.2v) that can take 1xAA up to 1x18650. use appropriate spacers. this made an ultra reliable light that can use all types of batteries when needed.

You forgot to mention 9V and lantern 6V batteries.

nap.

Peak Night Patrol and its variants.

Which one> They have 50 models? I see no quark with an 18650 body.

They don't make an 18650 body anymore. Shame really, I really like mine. Wish I had bought a second one when I had the chance.

IIRC the C2H and the RRT0 can both do AA/14500/123/16340, but not 18650.

That made me laugh

While we are at it, don't forget about coin cells!

I found the dropin but I cannot seem to find the 18650 to AA adapter

The Olight M20/M20s can use 2xCR123/2xRcr123/18650/17670/2x16340 but no AA

The Jetbeam RRT0 is able to use CR123 / RCR123 / AA / 14500 but no 18650 cells

Does anyone make an 18650 to AA adapter? Looks like the low V dropin for my new P60 host (L2T) is the way to go.

Not that I'm aware of, but if you buy an L2r body, you should be able to swap the head back and forth between the L2r and L2t bodies.

Just use 2xAA.
Add a single cell extender to the L2 and then wrap paper or make a special plastic sleeve to stop the AA's from rattling.


And just to add, I have the 18650 Quark body along with all the rest, AA, 2xAA and 123.
All work on the low voltage heads, either tactical or regular.
The low voltage heads are what come in the 123, AA or AA^2 models.

The 123^2 is the only high voltage head.

18650 bored Surefire 6P (or solarforce L2) with a single cell extension adapter.
>Add the adapter for 2AA use, roll up printer paper as a spacer to eliminate cell rattle in the 18650 bored part.
>Remove the single cell extension for 18650 and 2xCR123 use.

A bored surefire C3 or 9P will also work. Although you will need dummy 16340 spacer for use with an 18650.

These setups will also work with 2x18500 cells, no cell adapter or spacer required.

You might have to get 2x separate drop ins though one for 8.4V and another for lower voltages as low as 2.4V. I am not sure if theres one drop in that does it all (2.4-8.4V)

*EDIT* Oops I didn't read the OP very carefully, my recommendations above are not very good for EDC. I'll leave my reply though because someone might the info to be useful.

Found them. One light all batteries listed above with one dropin and one 18650 adapter. Cool! Thanks guys........

Nice! Where did you find those?

Here

how about 2/3 aa to standard aa, could you cut the top/+ end and put it in single aa battery compartment?
