If a short flashlight (soda can style) takes 3 18650s...
But if you pop in only 2 18650s and it still works (i haven't tried popping in only 1) does that mean the battery circuit is built in parallel?
If yes, is this a safer configuration compared a lengthier (nightstick style) flashlight accepting 2 18650's back to back? (i'm presuming this would have to be a circuit built in series)
Any thoughts?
