Well there you have it. If the government had chosen Fenix and NIMH rechargeables, billions of dollars could have been saved

They've always all been rechargeable.

Just either use 17670 or get them bored to fit 18650.

Have fun.

Or for direct replacements you'll need to order 3.2v lifepo4 chemistry ones.

Surefire are actually preparing to release their own brand of RCR123s, using rebranded 'K2 energy' cells.

Problem being the link you sent is for Overreadys boring service. Ive never seen them bore an E2D. Also Ive never seen an E series bored out to 18650. I dont think the walls are thick enough. There is a member on here however who bored a light for me a few months ago, my E2D. It was relatively cheap and can now take 17670s no problem. If you need his name shoot me a PM.

Really? do you know when this is happening?


thank you all for the replies

Or you could get an A2Z, put the E2DL head on it, add an A14 and a B65. Just sayin'...

I've been told that it's going to be soon, but if you don't want to wait, you can get them directly from K2 Energy.
