My end-game is to get rid of all of the battery recycle bags around our house and Li-Ions are the most practical technology to achieve that. I realize Maglite's market are normal people, not us. I'm just trying to determine if there is any way that a stock Maglite could ever be useful to me. Can you just buy a 3D LED, put a 32650 and a dowel wrapped in tinfoil to take up the slack, or replace an XL series 3AAA carrier with a ~22600? I read the XL battery contacts won't line up, but that's a minor detail to fix with a simple, flat circuit board. Are there bigger issues such as using a basically a dumb current regulation system that depends on the internal resistance of the batteries to limit the current?
Thanks!
