BatteryJunction -- Are you currently in United States? IIRC, BatteryJunction doesn't ship their SureFire out of US >> "No Export : This item cannot exported from the USA.", unless they change their policies?
18650 -- they are right, it will not fit.

EDIT: you could also do what James (jwyj) suggested above, use 14650 size Li-Ion. However, 17670 does fit in E2DL tho... but as with 14650 cell, you will run with diminishing output.
EDIT 2: here is the link to cpf on E2DL rechargeable discussions >> Surefire E2DL -BK LED Best Rechargeable Batteries, and here is the thread of reference >> MDs Rechargeable Compatibility chart/guide for popular flashlights!

Using AW 17670, it fit on mine... i guess most later batch will take 17670.
Unlike LX2, it's using head circuit to change mode, it alternate between high and low, circuit reset in 1 second.

You take the ~4.19V reading while cell still in charger or off charger?

thanks mate. I did a few tests some time back on WF139 that I bought from GW2U, I purposely left the AW18650, Panasonic Unprotected 18650, IMR 16340 in the charger for more than 3 hours+ after the light turns green. the Voltage read 4.1xV after pull out from the charger.

ok, here are the rest of the 2 photos not shown above...

Hello arold88, take a look at post #2 of this thread >> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=33115831, you will find a handful of local flashlight dealers.
Don't worry too much on finding the best, as there are really no best flashlight around, but you will be doing fine to get a good flashlight from brands like Fenix, EagleTac, NiteCore, 4Sevens, Olight, LumensFactory, JetBeam, etc.
We may be able to recommend you a few specific models if you could let us know your usage, battery preference, EDC or otherwise.
You can visit GW2U to personally handle some of the models yourself before making a decision, or you could join us for upcoming gathering.

LOL

haha... congrats pseudoblue... our newly appointed moderator for MY_CPF...

thanks Craig. Very helpful beamshots. I'm curious about the neutral XP-G Mini/Quark? Is it available already?
I like the neutral and P60 a lot...

haha... indeed... indeed...

Added on May 8, 2010, 6:51 amanyone using 4Sevens' CR123a batteries? do you check the Voltage of the 2-battery pack? I find it interesting that mine are mostly 0.03V apart, like 3.22V/3.25V, 3.24V/3.27V. as these are shrink-wrap in 2 per pack, I really didn't expect to have such a different Voltage. My 12-Pack SureFire battery all giving 3.28V consistently, likewise for Sanyo and Panasonic... as these are put into 2-cell lights, the one near the head will consistently get draw more and leaving the Voltage gap bigger

haha... that's what I'm doing now... maybe I should ask in CPF to see if other users having a different experience... wish me luck, I hope I won't get flame for not going guilt-free lumens...

... and they claim (thru private comm.) it's still cheaper than SureFire ...

sssshhhhhh... not so loud... we will talk over a TT session...

my new sexy twin...

not many... only a few pairs...

Wow MetalZone... that's 2 very cool C3... are these from OverReady (... ElectronGuru)?

So right!!!!! I couldn't agree more.

EagleTac PN Series... just a few teaser pics...









I can't believe the beam profile and tint of these PN series... more details will be available in CPF soon...

unlike Fenix LD05 vs 4Sevens Preons, IMHO PN series are of different breed. It's unique in its own way.
They are both good lights.

Let me try:
Preons has bigger hotspot (XP-G vs XP-E).
PN20a2 throws further and have brighter spills.
PN20a2 support momentary-on.
Preons have a couple of hidden modes while PN series is a simple 2-mode light.

Let me know if there are specific area that you would like me to comment on between the two.

haha... I'm not sure... but I still hold the LiteFlux LF2XT as the best single cell AAA EDC flashlight...
