If I buy the AN14 (only $6.50 at LPS!) how many 123's will fit in then? 4? Four would be awesome as I could use 4 1000 mAh 123 size cells for pretty much the same performance, except MAYBE lower runtime. If somebody could, tell me the length of the tube so I know how many of what kind of batteries I can fit in there.

Thanks,
Spud

Oh, also, does anyone know the cheapest source to get 2/3 A NiMH? I found a source that is $2 each plus $5.50 s&h, or if you buy 16 of the 1000 mAH it is $18 or $21 for 1100 mAH plus $7.50 s&h. I guess if I paid $13 for 4 to turn my G2 into a G2R I would be saving a LOT of money since I could just somehow wire up a holder to use the individual batts in my Rayovac charger

The A-14 will not allow for an extra 123 it will only allow you to use a 6volt body with the 6volt rechargeable kit. If you want to add extra 123's get the A-19.

Ok, thanks. Lets see 2 and 1/16 times 25.4=52.5mm. That is almost exactly 1.5 123's..so lets see, I have a total of 122mm or so to work with. I've seen several 2/3 A's that are around 30mm and I have 30.4mm each to work with, so it looks like I can make my own pack that is higher capacity. Yay. Mainly I'll be saving money on the charger I guess.

Well, no, the surefire website even says the AN14 is a body extending adapter. I just want to know how much it extends the body, it looks like the G2R battery is 4 2/3A NiCd's. Does the AN14 extend about 2 123 lengths, 1.5, or what? I guess somebody could just tell me how many mm long a B65 is and then I can figure out how many 123's that would equate to.

About 1.5 I will measure it when I get home from work unless someone beats me to it.
