A friend at work gave me an old Surefire 6R. It has no battery and it seems that it takes a special size. Complete with the extender, it's too long for three CR123s and too short for four - but it's the correct diameter. If I remove the extender, two CR123s or a 17670 fit perfect.
It seems a waste to not use the extender and won't be very bright with a single rechargable battery. My plan is to install a new P90, P91, or BOG 3W drop-in as the lamp is dead as well. I have found that a protected 17670 and protected 17500 in series fit perfect with the extender. This battery setup should work well with any of the above mentioned LAs, right?
Anyone with a good reason not to use two different size batts in this light? The 17500 will, of course, die first but as long as I'm using protected cells, I shouldn't over-discharge the dead cell and I should get moon-mode after the first cell dies.
