That would have been nice, but a magnet that can hold a 18650 light horizontally is at least 5mm thick, I can understand a decision to go for minimal size in a light like this.
I guess they take batteries from ~65 to ~70 mm and the springs are solely responsible for that. So while the springs may compress completely with a 70 mm battery, there will probably be free space if you use a shorter one.
BTW, I wonder why do they use springs at all and not DQG style solid contacts….I’ve read some people being worried of dropping DQGs, but not about someone having problems because of that.
I’m checking out Intl-outdoor.com many times a day to see if they’re for sale… Can’t wait to see more pictures and all the available options… Let’s see how many Nichia variants there will be… :smiling_imp:
