Yep, that will do it. Wire those leads together in parallel and connect it to the B6 and boom, you have a charger capable of 5A charging and if you reflash the firmware, a ton of advanced options and high precision.
Hmmm, I have almost all protected cells. Any pointer welcome to a slightly longer cell holder wired parallel.
I have the HobbyKing clone Accucel 6
but Iāve only used it for charging one cell at a time, so far
(e.g. it works fine for the 3.6v NiMH Black and Decker Versapack cylindrical cells)
but I ought to get into multiple-18650 lights at some point, without blowing anything up.
You can get a 26650 holder for protected 18650ās most likely. Mine are a bit longer and should fit a protected cell, I donāt own any protected cells to try though.
Mt friend used to run the Maxamps 1 cell lipos in a range of things, coupled together as what ever he needed to power, but he always charged a bunch of those as 1 cell and then put 20 amps on it.
Still took a while as this was 5450 mah cells.
We lovingly nicknamed the batteries āThe LEGO batteriesā
I will probably go that route as i have a few RC chargers too, and they might as well get som exercise charging round cells too beside the square RC batteries.
I think I remember far back in this thread, someone asking about thread locker for the tripod thread, hence this post. I just remembered that post and recently discovered this product for another use.
If something like loctite is used it can be undone with heat and tools no matter what grade is used. But another product is available that wonāt harden and is reusable and adjustable. Those are good qualities where one needs increased friction to allow potential removal of the 1/4-20 adapter in the light but not so much friction between the 1/4-20 adapter and the tripod plate. I have a similar issue with firearms and threads that require increased friction but where I donāt want to use hardening Loctite. Vibra-tite VC-3 is such a product. Itās a polymer that requires 30 minutes to dry before the threaded part is reinstalled and once installed it can be removed and reused (3x). Once applied there is no time limit before it can be installed into the thread. I suggest just applying it to one side of the thread to see how that works and only use one application. Donāt ask me how I know this .
I would have posted sooner but just recently discovered it. Itās available in many sizes.
As I write I have the 1/4-20 adapter for the MK41 drying before reinstalling it into the light. It should work there. It definitely works in the more critical firearms Iāve used it on.
Hey, I think I figured out where all the weird China flashlight company names come from.
They must be using artificial intelligence ā with results like these paint names:

Be careful with that stuff, it uses MEK (Methyl ethyl ketone) as a solvent.
Thatās in the āknow when not to inhaleā category.
And donāt get it on your skin.
Yes it does, but IMO itās a very low concentration. They have other versions that use other solvents, VC-4, VC-5, etcā. At least thatās what I got out of what I read. The amount used is also very small. Surely less than a drop per adapter; the amount of MEK is very tiny in that drop.
Thanks for the warning though. I have a history with MEK and respiratory problems. Many decades ago I used it literally by the gallon to clean extruders that ran at 300+Ā°F - 400Ā°. Weād pour it in one end and it would come out the other end. The MEK fumes were like a fog. As I wrote, I had respiratory problems from it. VC-3 is nothing at all like that. I couldnāt even smell it when the bottle was open.
