Interested? - BLF LT1 wrapped battery sets

Interested

Interested depending on final product

Not in the US :weary:

Interested. I wouldnt mind the wrap over the original one.

Interested for two sets.

I would be in for a set or three……

Wrapped Sanyos sounds perfect. I’m in for a couple of sets at least.

Now that I think about it more, I’m getting 6 lanterns. These would be the pièce de résistance for the gifts. Matching batteries? Heck yes. My friends already make fun of my lights - until they need them. Custom batteries are perfectly over the top awesome.

Diameter of the bare cell rewraps vs custom wrap over OEM wrap?

Once I figure out where I misplaced my calipers I can give you solid numbers. Right now all I can offer is that they fit nicely in an SP36 with both the OEM and custom wraps.

Samsung 30Qs became popular a while back, around the same time the BLF Q8 was being built. A lot of BLF members got 30Q for their BLF Q8s. Compared to the GA, the 30Q have a slightly lower capacity, but higher output current. Since higher current is NOT needed for the LT1, the advantage goes to the GA. The other advantage of the GA is that the flat top, as you said, is high enough to hit the ring. They are also just a bit lower price, at least on Liion Wholesale. So, I would agree with the Panasonic/Sanyo GA being the best cell for this lantern. Thanks for doing this cool wrapping for BLF members. It should be pretty popular. :partying_face:

dang…in Canada.

Can you tell me anything about the rules on shipping these batteries to Canada? I’d hate for your batteries to be lost to Customs.

I am in Canada too. :partying_face:

I don’t agree with the term “BLF SKUNKWORKS” I think “BLF COLLABORATION” is more appropriate.
Skunks works invokes ( in my mind ) a secretive design and production. Whereas the BLF LT1 design has been out in the open, with design input from many BLF members.

I’m in. I’ve bought some batteries but I’m in for 6 LT1s so I’ll need some more.

To me, Skunkworks is the place where all the interesting brainstorming and dev work is done, outside of normal constraints and without normal limitations. I can see what you’re saying though.

What does anyone else think about that line?

- SKUNKWORKS

- A BLF COLLABORATION (was TLF or another group involved too?)

    ???

As these are not produced by the thousands, there can be some room for modification / customization - BUT - I’d like to have a default design I can make and have on hand.

Interested in 2 sets
