Inova X5 on Pila\'s?

Has anyone tried running an X5 on pila's? I plan on getting
A pila charger and a couple 168s batteries and was just wondering if they would also fit in the X5.

Yes, they might fit, but the output would be very low. Light falloff is rather abrupt in this light--at least the original version I had. The Pilas are about 4V while the Inova wants closer to 6V

Cheers,

From somewhere, I heard it could fit, but I'm not at all certain.

The Pila 168S cells do not fit in the Inova X5 or X5T bodies. I know, because I tried for myself.
The inner diameter of the Inova's barrel is just a bit too small.
