this subject has come up in the past a few times - decent quality 22500 batteries would be great for turning some 3xAAA flashlights into much more capable lights.
Since fasttech responded to a member’s request for 32650 batteries, please join me in requesting 22500s
What lights does this size work on? That would be neat.
On a side note... I've been thinking about de-requesting certain batteries @ FastTech. Like the UF 3000mAh (link), that really don't operate at their rated capacity and get worse over time.
I bought these when I was newbie and think they give a bad impression to ppl initially getting into Li-ions.
the idea is for them to be used in lights that take cylindrical 3xAAA battery carriers.
I HATE AAA in every form except 1xAAA
but I have a few 3xAAA lights, like most of us, that would be worth upgrading emitter and driver in IF they could be powered by li-ion
fasttech replied to my request and stated that they didn’t want to purchase 1000 pieces (like in the link i gave them) but that they were trying to find a source for a smaller buy
I was thinking about these Efest 22650s, but then I measured my AAA battery carrier @ ~21 x 52.5mm, so yeah 22500 cell would work. Did a lot of searching with no good leads on 22500s. I would be neat if FastTech came through.
I was wondering which light you have or of any decent ones in this form factor.
