Custom LiPO cells to replace 3c batteries

@scotty321 I am thinking about running 2 18650 in parallel. the flashlight run fine on 3AA NiMH batteries in series.

@chops728 I have lots and lots of flashlights, and lots and lots of 18650 recycled cells lying around. I don’t mind cramming 2 18650 in parallel, but here are a lot of people in the world that may have a lot of devices running on 3C cells. Just wondering if anyone knew how likely it would be to get a set of custom cells made to sell retail. Not really to make money just to solve a problem. I would think a 26150 battery would hold a lot of power and would run 3cell batteries for a long long time.

so you can cram 2 / 18650 in a tube that takes C batteries —- what kind of lights are you talking about —- Hypothetically if you could get 26150 cells made —In series they would total 11.1v / 12.8v —— way above 3 C batteries in series 4.5v
