BLF GT battery tube coupler interest thread

+1

Hi Nico, it was in the GT modding thread I believe, I ordered one but should have noticed you too:
https://m4dm4x.com/giggles-mighty-blf-gt-3-2-2/

The normal two carrier tube is plenty to beat you over the head with… of runtime

You’d be incorrect. There is no kill like extreme overkill.

I mean, come on! Did you not dream a long time ago of having one of those 6D police Maglites? The only purpose of that many D cells was to use as a police baton.

Lol, had a cop buddy of mine that had one of those.

Seems Neal is not selling the battery carriers by themselves yet. Hopefully by the time I get my BLF GT and can get something made to fit, the carriers will be available. Not giving up hope yet! Maybe Neal will even decide to offer a coupler. I don’t care where it comes from I just want a mega extreme overkill flashlight lol

Additional long tubes (2-carrier) would be nice, as well, if the carriers and couplers become available. I wonder who would build the longest flashlight? :sunglasses:

2 couplers, 3 long tubes, this sucker could be like a baseball bat!

I’m interested, but I was also searching for battery holders since they apparently won’t be available, and I ran across this

I wonder if it’s compatible?

It is not compatible
Fenix is 2S2P
GT is 4S

Well shoot. I found another carrier/holder only on banggood - Astrolux, but I’m pretty sure it’s also 2S2P. The description says it’s 8.4V and can use either 2 or 4 batteries, so no go. I guess the GT is special :slight_smile:

Edit: adding link - just notice that it says “under restocking” and “coming soon” though

The Astrolux carrier can be bypassed to be 4s. Lexel also offers new PCBs for the carrier to make it 4S. If the carrier fits and makes contact correctly it might work.

Interested if someone can find a carrier

Intrested

Interested.

Interested

I would like one.

I’ll update the original post with a list of interested parties. I’ll have my machinist source are quote me 25/50/100 PC’s to get an idea of pricing. I’d assume you’d all like the coupler to be anodized black to match the rest of it?

Yup :+1:

I really hope we can convince LT or someone else to make spare battery carriers, or this project is doomed. :open_mouth:
