E2L AA work with EB1 head?

N/Apower · Nov 17, 2013

Will an E2L work with an EB1 head? 2xAA=3V, and several times the MAH of the 1xCR123. To me, simple-minded as I am, it looks like a recipe for longer run-time with cheaper, more common batteries, at the expense of a bit of size. Still, very nice 200+ lumen AA light...

Possible? Why/Why not?

Sure will! I like running single CR123 heads on AA's.

Ditto. I ran a test last year with 2xEneloops. Haven't tried it with lithium primaries or alkalines.

From one of the early EB1 threads (Link) . . . .

Just ran a test with 2x new Eneloops fresh off their first break-in cycle.

The EB1 stayed pretty close to full output for over an hour before beginning to drop. I ended the test before discharging the batteries completely.

Original post edited... sorry, was tired from a long trip and read EB1 as E1B...

So it will work, as tonkem below said but drivers are not the same (I guess, never saw EB1 driver, only E1B)...

Yes, it works, I had the EB1 and used the head on my E2L-AA, without issue on eneloops. The only difference is the first click is High and the 2nd click is low, versus the E1L being Low then High.
