Battery Pack for my 160 watt Maglite

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts

Hi all, I recently welded up a 13 cell pack for my Mag 623, (my first ever pack). It made a huge difference in power.

I modeled my pack after the ones CPFs Luxluthor made back in the day. You can hear his thoughts about the situation at 2:42 in the video :rofl: :joy: :face_with_hand_over_mouth: LOL!

Seriously though, I wasn’t able to find a reference to the first 623, but it looks like Madmaxabeam made the first 13 cell pack.

The tint looks pretty nice I don’t suppose you measured the CRI?

Runtime? Prob direct drive?

I assume the CRI would be 100 since its an incandescent bulb. I don’t have a way to measure it. The runtime is a joke, like maybe 8 minutes LOL. Yes, its directdrive, but I have a “Soft start” which provides 3 levels of output.
