Battery spacers

[Chicken_Drumstick]

Hi.

Looking for two answers, well ok I’ve got 2 questions that both need answers

The easy one first:

1. Where can I get a spacer for a 14500? So as I can run a 1 x 14500 in a 2 x AA body? I thought this would be easy, but Googling AA battery spacer or 14500 spacer hasn’t yielded much.

2. What’s a good way of making a custom battery spacer? For example if you have a 2 x AA body tube, but plan to run a 1 x 14670 then you’ll need something to fill the gap. What would be a good way of doing this?

Thank you.

1. You can buy them at lighthound. I'm on my phone so I can't link.

2. You will need some aluminutodos. First cut to length. Then wrap in electrical tape until it is the right diameter.

found them on lighthound http://www.lighthound.com/Spacers_c_218.html Not been on their site before. Lots of good stuff, thanks.

BTW what is “aluminutodos”? Google doesn’t bring back anything (presume it’s a phone typo/auto-correction??)

I think user Old Lumens had a write up on here where he made some from copper and a nylon rod. I just solder two nails together with the heads out and wrap in some paper and electrical tape. Of course I’m more comfortable with ghetto solutions than most.
