I stumbled across the usb rechargeable Nitecore MT2A while reading one day, and discovered it uses a proprietary 1500mah 2Px14500 cell. I figured, why not try putting that in a minimag? Well, I found one on eBay, back in Oct, ordered it, and it JUST NOW arrived. (Long story short, it got lost, I filed claim, and it ended up arriving.) So, I decided to plop this guy in. No good. The plastic wrapping on it, makes it to wide to slide in the battery tube. So I just peeled it off. The wrapping was just a brand label basically, the cells are still shrunk together in another layer. All is good now, it fits PERFECT!!
XML2 T6 3C on copper, with a 4 mode Qlite, and a modded incan reflector. NOW with a ~1500mah cell! WOO!
Not really sure what max discharge current would be. It seems to be doing great with this Qlite though. Reading right around 2.8-2.9 on high. It does have integrated protection circuity, so I’m not super worried :). No idea on chemisty either. There is very little info on the web about this cell/s. I may try contacting Nitecore.
For anyone wondering, its a Nitecore NL1427. Here is the link where I purchased it: eBay
The cell measure 101.6mm and 13.5mm width (4’‘L x 17/32’’W.) Remember though, this is with the wrapper off. With it on, it was a hair thicker, maybe 14.5-15mm. Glad ya guys found this interesting! :bigsmile:
