Need a little help here.

For some unknown reason I'm getting this urge to buy an original G2. I know which led D26 I want to use with it. It has a minimum voltage of 3.6v, so I have been thinking li-on rechargeable. I know it won't take an 18650, but will it take a 17650? The only 16650s I can find are eFest. Are they any good. Or should I go the route of to RCR123s or two 16350s (the D26 will take up to 13v)?

Timothybil,
It should take a protected 17670. I have a G2 & AN14, and I use a conductive CR123a delrin spacer, and 2 protected 17500 cells.

I didn't know they made 16650 cells. I wish AW made a 17350 cell.

I'm using a protected AW 17670 in my G2 Nitrolon. Got it from LightHound. Fits nicely. Works great.

Check out the Keepower 16650 at Illumn (formerly illumination supply). They are smaller around than the 17670 and have higher MAH as well (2,000).

The Keeppower 16650 is great if you can find them i use them in the G2 and 6P and 6PX.

Thanks for the tip. I wonder what could be the lumen output of a G2 or 6P with a single li ion ?

I'm planning on using a third-party drop in so I'm not worried about that. I'm not sure a P60 would even light up using one 17650.

The P60 will light up with a single lion but with only about half the brightness and the beam color is quite yellow
